DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

We keep on Trusting in Jesus.
I Got documents ready email on 6th april
It is encouraging that thy are still processing Documents. Am Kenyan AF 18k.I submitted docs 2 times no answer
But finally they processed.
 
Hello everyone ! I sent the documents a few weeks ago , following the instructions of KCC and Brit. I received this email when asking about them : "

After sending documents to KCCDVDocuments@state.gov, you will receive an automatic reply to your email. If there are no attachments, the auto reply explains there are no documents attached to the email. If there are attachments, the auto reply explains we received your email and are currently processing your documents. "
Does this part mean that in the automatic email after sending the documents, there should be attachments or they didn't receive the documents?
I would highly appreciate it if someone could clarify this to me as there room for interpretation.

If you have sent an email with the documents(attached to the email), below will be the automatic reply/response from KCC DV documents.

Subject - Automatic Reply from KCC DV Documents

The Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) has received your email and is currently processing your documents. This email address, KCCDVDocuments@state.gov, is only used for applicants to provide the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) with documents required to continue processing Diversity Visa applications. KCCDVDocuments@state.gov does not respond to inquiries. If you have any Diversity Visa related questions, please email KCCDV@state.gov with your case number, complete name, and date of birth, as entered on your original entry.

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.

You will need to email KCC to initiate the change. In order for KCC to grant the request, you'll need to demonstrate a legitimate tie to the country with the new embassy you wish to change to.

Anyone sent an email to KCC recently for ds260 unlock n it has been done or called KCC for someone to pickup the call not the answering machine.

I did request twice about 2 weeks ago first for my husband and myself, then for my kids and each time it was unlocked 4 - 5 days later. I think it depends on how close to being current you are. I will be current next month.

Thanks Mom! I just received the following email. Hopefully, they will set an apponitment soon!


"Thank you for your inquiry.

Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check....... If you need to make changes to your DS-260 you should contact the consular section where you will be interviewed, or bring the information about your changes to your interview appointment. Because your case is ready to be scheduled, KCC can no longer unlock your application."

tl;dr version:
On April 8, 2021, the Secretary of State determined that travel on an immigrant or fiancé(e) visa is in the national interest for purposes of granting exceptions under the geographic COVID proclamations. Immigrant Visa processing posts may now grant immigrant and fiancé(e) visas to applicants otherwise eligible, notwithstanding these proclamations.

Would this also mean we can travel directly once we have our visa? Or it is just for issuance?

Issuance. Embassies that issue visas belong to Department of State and this is their memo. People that let you in on the border work for CBP which belongs to Department of Homeland Security. We need to wait and see if CBP/DHS publishes something in response.
 
Can I enter USA on DV visa with one way ticket. This is my very first entry, I do not have the actual green card but only the DV visa?
