The email only tells you there is an update to the ESC page. So you may as well check the ESC page for an update as the indirect CEAC status page.
DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES
- Thread starter Trintous
- Start date
Yes and No both can happen, If your status changes to Transit or you receive the email to check for updates it means you got 2nl.
Is your status changed to In Transit?

Thank you very much for reply.
I checked ESC page, it says as before « you have been randomly selected for further processing of dv», though I noticed at the very bottom where there is name of applicant, case number - there is also Post for interview Abu-Dhabi. Maybe it’s automatically updated once you send your DS 260, though before I don’t remember it was written Post.
CEAC page says the same - KCC. Hopefully after the visa bulletin this month we can see some interview invitations. Thank you.

The only place your interview letter will be is on the ESC page.

Thank you, Susie. So the letter will be instead of “You have been selected for further..” on ESC page ?

Yes.

Exactly. No one can deny that there was damage done on DV21 selectees.
Personally, I feel that some kind of positive outcome will result from lawsuits. At least for named plaintiffs.
And we have to use the same ESC site we used to consult the lottery results, right?
In your latest update, June 2NLs, majority of the Status change date are between May 10th to May 14th. Is it reasonable to infer that KCC is giving less lead time in advance notice of interviews, considering they used to give 6 to 8 weeks in the past? Do you see this trend forming from the updates in the past few months?

A few things:
1. Status date changes every time someone access db record, e.g. embassy accepts the case. By no means it should be treated as an indicator when the case was actually sent by KCC.
2. "June 2NLs" are called June 2NLs only because I assume that if they were scraped between April 15th and May 15th they're June interviews. In reality there's no way of knowing the interview date. If you look closely at those files in between updates there's a handful of cases that gets misclassified, i.e. some of the cases are gonna turn to issued before the beginning of the month.
3. As I mentioned before in this thread: knowing that the current situation is fluid and chaotic, I consider coming up with "trends", whether based on a single point or even all of them, a futile exercise.

The 2NLs sent BEFORE April 20th (i.e. 10 to 14th), were May interview 2NLs being sent late. In these extraordinary times there seems to be a more convoluted process about scheduling which I imagine is a conversation between KCC and each embassy to establish how many interviews each embassy will accept. That is more complicated than normal, so up to now at least it has altered the "2 monthly batches" approach. We can assume that 2NLs for July for example will not be sent before the VB is published in the next few days (called the June VB, referring to July interviews). But the recent unusual pattern may continue where July 2NLs come out until early June. But as Xarthisius correctly states, this could all change at any moment so trying to predict the unpredictable is an exercise in frustration.

I-134 or I-864 – what is the difference
Every so often (quite often actually) I see people challenging the understanding that DV lottery cases use the I-134. They have read about the I-864 (Affidavit of Support), and often see it listed as a requirement for immigrant cases. However,…

All about public charge, affidavit of support, I-134
A very common question that comes up about the DV lottery is about the requirement to prove you will not become a public charge (i.e. be in need of financial assistance from the government). Many …

This forum is one big link to Brit Simon’s website. Lol

Britsimon was one of the original main DV moderators here and his website is kind of like the AOS spreadsheet but for CP, on steroids. People here know that the information there is reliable and detailed (usually far more detailed than you’d get in a typical forum answer), so rather than repeatedly typing the same answers here in response to people literally asking the same questions hundreds of times, it makes a lot of sense to just refer there.

Indeed. Sort of makes a lot of the questions here redundant, as a little bit of Googling and browsing on his site would answer it, apart from something that is only applicable to a specific event or situation, like bans etc. But even those tend to be addressed by a post pretty quickly.
Anyway, my comment was more related to the fact that whatever someone asks, a quick link to Simon answers it.
It’s a great monitization strategy, so fair play. New wave of hopefuls each year, so plenty of traffic going forward.

Also a way to keep us oldies in the game. Typing the same answer a hundred times a year gets old quickly, I’d personally have been out of here a few years ago if that was still the way it was tbh. This way the common things get dealt with and as you say we can spend time on trying to help people with particular questions not found in a FAQ.
