And just to be clear, simply because an embassy or a region shows that case number 10000 (for example) has been scheduled, that does NOT mean that every case under 10000 has been scheduled. It is simply evidence that KCC prioritized document processing by case number, and did not get far far with processing because they reduced their workforce.

You say scheduled mean ready then hopeless.
 
Britsimon said:
No. About 14000 cases have received the same email, but KCC are still only scheduling a handful of cases each month, and there are still some embassies that have not taken a single case.

Yes like the US embassy in Ghana. Covid situation here has been very well managed but still no appointments for any DV applicant.

Hello
I have a problem. I have not yet received my baccalaureate diploma, I just have the certificate of success and the transcript note for 2013
since 2020, I have deposited to recover the diploma but nothing
I wanted to know can the certificate be synonymous with disqualification?!

do you have a high school certificate ?

By this email I received, does it mean that they are done processing my paperwork and now it's up to my country's US embassy to schedule my interview? I am trying to understand where my position is now.

KCC schedule the cases, not the embassies. Jakarta have so far accepted 12 interviews. So it remains to be seen whether they will accept many more interviews over the coming weeks.

Never heard of that before. What country are you from?

for my case, I have the certificate of the baccalaureate but in Senegal the certificate is valid that for 2 years after will have to make the step to recover the diploma!
suddenly, since the diploma is still not out I think I will go to the interview with the certificate, the baccalaureate statement and seeing I have the license I will present it too.
what do u think about that ?!
 
Can a sponsor redact or show only last four digits of their SSN on both form i-134 and 1040 tax return transcripts before emailing them to DV selectees to submit during their interview?
 
@Britsimon Hi, I know that you usually advise about DV cases. Apologies if this is out of your league. I would like to join the lawsuit, but I have also applied for I 130 waiting for approval from USCIS. Do you think signing up for the lawsuit might negatively affect my I 130 approval? Thank you.

No impact.

Don't misunderstand what happened in 2020. KCC were not the ones that were able to create the huge boost as you call it. The vast majority of issuances in the final weeks of September were from cases that had been scheduled in March, April and May (and then cancelled). KCC did not make that happen, the embassies did. And they were operating at full capacity, without a stated prioritization that puts DVs at the bottom of a list for already reduced interview slots.

I love that people try to stay positive, but there should be no doubt in our minds that DV2021 is in serious trouble. I recommend people consider the remaining lawsuits now, because there is a chance that named plaintiffs could be prioritized over people not on lawsuits. Don't assume we can get visas preserved as happened in DV2020, especially since those preserved visas have not been allowed to be issued.

And to remind people Curtis has made the cost low, and created a no upfront fee for AF region residents, and several other countries.

Here is the link for more info on that lawsuit. No lawsuit is guaranteed to win, but the alternative is looking increasingly bleak.

Well Simon, It is actually similar to 2020. As you may know more than 10k cases and more than 15k people are ready to schedule right now. I wasn't talking about kcc because kcc has done it's job pretty well so far. So as soon as a relief given to DV cases embassies can schedule cases pretty well and considering they start processing other visas unlike 2020 that all the Interviews were stopped and corona was strong.
In my opinion in case of changing the priority of DV cases we see a great volume of Interviews.

Imo, big assumption that a judge can tell DoS who they should and shouldn’t be prioritizing in the midst of a huge backlog. Very different argument to the DV2020 case.

Ummm, no. It's not at all similar to 2020 - I don't see why you think it is, if you read my earlier comments.

State department is standing by its prioritization, and there is a massive backlog of non DV cases, most of which are higher priority to DV. The only way that will change is if a Judge orders a change (which will happen too late to make a big difference). KCC, not the embassies schedule the appointments, and of course, that assumes that the embassies even have the staff to handle the sudden volume, which in many cases, they don't.
