All DV processing is currently suspended until December 31st. Regardless of a current number, not much can be done to schedule interviews at this point unless the presidential proclamation is updated (unlikely).

Has anyone been able to get in touch with KCC recently? I've tried calling them multiple times during business hours in the past couple of days (this week and last). A pre-recorded message stating that they are unable to take the call at this time plays automatically every time I ring the phone number. No tone, nothing. Just this pre-recorded message with a male voice explaining that they are unable to the call at this time and I should email them. I emailed them last week and followed up yesterday, but have not heard back yet.
Any luck for the rest of you?

Are you calling during KCC’s local business hours? If you’re not in the same time zone then that might be the problem.
Why are you contacting KCC? That could also be the reason they haven’t responded. If it’s something they can’t help with, or something they’ve shared countless times, then I can only guess that’s why they haven’t replied to your emails.

I just did a test call and also got that message. Maybe they decided this is the only way to deal with countless people calling them - we’ve discussed before how this takes away from the time they actually have to process the applications. Did you email them following all the instructions- they don’t respond if not followed ? And it’s not unusual in busy times to take a couple of weeks to respond.

The important sentence was
"Scheduling for the DV2021 program year has not yet begun "
"Scheduling for the DV2021 program year has not yet begun "
I emailed and tried to call them because I submitted my DS-260 form in June and have not heard back from them with a document submission request. I just wanted to double check that there is nothing wrong with my application. I call them during their regular business hours, taking into account the time difference for the time zone that I am currently located in.

Did you get a confirmation of submission for DS260? Then you’ll get document request in due course. They are admin, they do not do any evaluation of the DS260 to say if something is “wrong” with an application or not. Sorry but to be blunt about it, this is exactly the kind of question they don’t need to waste time answering on the phone.
Yes, I got the automated confirmation of submission as soon as I submitted the DS 260. That was in June, though. No word from them and I am worried about the delay.
I get your point about the type of question. Can they at least give me any indication as to when that document request may come through given that I submitted my DS 260 nearly four months ago?

What’s your case number? You may have submitted nearly 4 months ago, but we are not even one week into the 2021 fiscal year, and there are no interviews before January at the earliest. From KCC perspective, what’s the rush? Anyway, you’ve sent them 2 emails right? Assuming you formatted them properly, just wait for them to respond.

Come on Suzie, its one week into the new year... KCC should have all 55000 visas printed with everyones name on them and ready to post out!!! <insert eye roll here>
Hey guys, I'm one of the lucky ones selected in DV2021 (EU22xxx), and have a few questions regarding DS-260.
1: In answering the question "Have you traveled to any countries within the last five years", will I need to list every country I've been traveling to, or only the ones where I've been to for work related travel (since it's the section "work/education/training information")?
2: Do only full-time jobs have to be mentioned as previous work experience, or do I need to list all part-time research assistant/tutoring jobs and side jobs like waiting tables I had during my time at university?
3: Since applying for DV2021, I've separated from my husband and we are currently in the process of getting a divorce. However, this will still take until ~June 2021, so naturally I listed my husband during the application process. Since he won't be accompanying me, I will answer "no" to the questions asking whether my husband will now or later immigrate to the US with me. However, the application page says "each applicant must complete form DS-260", and in section "Applicant information" my husband is listed as accompany, suggesting that the application is stalled until either he submits the form or is somehow removed. Is this something I need to worry about, or will my application be processed by KCC, regardless of him filling out the form?
Thanks a lot!!

1. yes you need to list ALL countries visited, regardless of the reason
2. ALL your employment needs to be listed, not just full time work
3. Assuming he is your derivative, you do not need to fill in the DS-260 for him, you will still be processed and he obviously will not.

Do you know cases where people registered (back in Oct-Nov) not with the passport number (international travelling document), but with the local ID number? Do you think these people can be disqualified? I'm not asking for myself, if that matters.
As far as i know, at submission valid passports and travel documents are only accepted

I think they will still risk to attend the interview.
Are there such cases on this forum?

The passport requirement was new from DV2020 and of course there ended up being not many interviews so there is not much to go on in terms of actual experience. It seems though from what we do know that they are being very strict on this requirement and your friends can expect to be disqualified. It’s crystal clear from the rules that what they submitted is not acceptable. But please update us after they interview so we do have some actual experience for the next person that asks.
