@som1smom Pls can an embassy decide not to schedule DV Cases for a FY? Usembassy Ghana seem not bothered at all about 2021 DV Cases...I had an email saying ready to be scheduled for interview weeks ago yet when I confirm from KCC they told me appointment is not available at moment.

Yes they can
 
Quick Translation from Video in Arabic from the guy who got the DV visa issued yesterday in Egypt . Major thing was security at first denied to allow him enter the embassy in Cairo , saying that DV appointments are not listed with security and they aren't aware of them at all , took two hours to allow him after and he and another 2 other DV winners insisted that they have been scheduled and notified , required approval by consular before allowed in . after that it is business as usual .

What visas embassies schedule is embassy specific at the moment given Covid and the backlogs from the bans, etc, and how they judge themselves best able to handle capacity. Most embassies that are not fully operational yet are prioritizing immediate family of USCs and national interest visas (such as medical personnel). Ghana is not the only embassy not yet issuing DV visas. That said, I understand it is hugely frustrating for you guys after all the wait and stress already. Hopefully they will open up to DV soon.

Thanks dear.
 
Hello Mommy,

I am an Iranian who won the DV 2021. I filled DS-260 and then emailed the documents to KCC. Last October I received an email from KCC with the following information:

“Congratulations! Our records indicate that your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview when your case number becomes current and appointments are available. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on region and which case numbers have already been processed.”

My case # was under 1000 and it has been a long time that my # is current. Since then, I have not heard anything from KCC about an appointment. My embassy is in Ankara. I contacted them and requested an update on my case, or an emergency appointment. They replied:

“Please provide a scanned copy of your original letter from NVC/KCC or from the embassy in pdf format or copy and paste to this body email. You need to provide your appointment date and time defined on the original email/letter you received”.

I emailed the embassy and explained the situation with the KCC’s email attached. The replied:

“We will enter your case number and your defined appointment date and time once we receive from embassy/NVS/KCC. At the moment we nor you have received the date and time. Please inform us once you receive the final letter containing your appointment date and time.”

I emailed KCC on March 25th, and they just sent an auto-reply email:

“The Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) has received your email. .......”

I have no idea what to do! Is there any mistake I have done in the process? Any suggestions?

Thank you very much in advance!

What do you see when you log into the ceac.state.gov website?
 
This is what I see. It shows that both DS-260 IV-Applications are completed. In IV fee field it is written N/A.

"Before we can process your Diversity Visa application, each applicant in your case must complete Form DS-260, the Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application. To access the online form, click on the link to the right of an applicant's name below, under the "IV Application" heading....."
 
I submitted my DS260 a week ago . How long does it take KCC to ask for scanned supporting documents to be emailed ? My case number is AS21XXX.

Thank you

Thank you for your quick reply. I thought KCC will send an email asking to submit supporting documents.

This is not a “normal” DV year. If you want to up your chances of being scheduled for an interview after your CN becomes current, then send the documents now as already recommended. You don’t need to wait for the email from KCC.

You may want to check with Ankara embassy, according to their website they are only processing visas for Turkish nationals and residents at present. https://tr.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/ I am not sure if this is your issue, but it might be. please see what they say on that page about third country nationals.

Based on Visa Bulletin my case number is current. How can I get an appointment from Ankara US embassy while they replied to my email:

"We will enter your case number and your defined appointment date and time once we receive from embassy/NVS/KCC. At the moment we nor you have received the date and time. Please inform us once you receive the final letter containing your appointment date and time."

Is it because the Ankara embassy does not give any DV appointments currently or I should do some action?

What should I do to get "the final letter containing your appointment date and time"?

Thank you very much!

See Susie’s response which is directly above your post. The email response may be alluding to the fact that Ankara is only Turkish nationals and residents for now.
