Hey All
Picked my final batch of passports today
Time to fill the DS260
If you applied before the digitization; i.e. If you queued & didn't book online for your photo appointment; then go to Immigration and tell them you have visa appointment with the US Embassy in 2 weeks time, they'll give you a form to fill in your details for urgent processing. I went last week and did just that and received the sms notifications on Monday and picked today.
After over 3 months of waiting in vain phew & big relief

They didn't ask
At the tent, give them your form with the tracking number as an enquiry, then they'll tell you that it's still at printing stage, at this point instead of leaving just tell them that it can't wait any longer since you've got an appointment coming up.

Yeah I did the same in 2012 when I was immigrating to another country and I got my passport in 2 hours, but I didn't lie as I really needed the passport to request a visa and they didn't ask me for any prove of appointment
Really happy for you. Won't they be suspicious if another person uses the same story?

Thank you
I'm sure I wasn't the first and many must have done that after me; that urgency list has only 2 reasons; either medical urgency or visa appointment urgency and i'm sure that long list were not only for medical urgencies
Remember, the cave you fear to enter, holds the treasure you seek
Thanks for the clarification. I'll go there next week...

For those asking what next
I thought it to be wise if I did for you a small write up for the procedures and
processes that take place from the point of winning the Diversity Visa till
Landing in the (USA)
Step One
Once you check on the results and find that you have qualified immediately the
first letter (1NL) that shows that you have been randomly selected for further
processing… you then fill an online form called DS 260. Make sure you fill the
forms for all the beneficiaries in your list accurately to avoid unlocking which
brings delays. If there is a baby born after you have submitted you can request
Kentucky Consular Center (KCC).
https://ceac.state.gov/iv/
Step Two
After you submit the DS 260 start preparing for the documents needed to go
for the interview with.

Hae.. Am a new member in this group.. My case number is 2020AF16 *** I have not received any communication from kcc. How does it happen please?
Hi,
Your case may not be unique. I am a 2020AF13***. I also submitted my DS260 to KCC on 17th July, but so far no communication yet. My projection is that if things progress as they do now, I should possibly get communication around December/January 2021 for a possible visa interview in February 2021. Just like it has been said before, we have to exercise patience.... lots of patience....
