Best thing is to wait, you will receive an email when your CN is processed. I submitted my documents on 19th August but did not receive a reply after 6 weeks. I have emailed KCC and this is the response I got:
Thank you for your inquiry.
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. Please allow time for processing of your documents. Documents are processed in numerical order, based on lottery rank number. Once KCC has processed your documents, we will let you know if anything is missing or if we have received everything needed.
Scheduling for the DV 2021 program year has not yet begun. Please monitor Travel.State.gov for updates. Selectees will be notified by an email to the address they provided to check the Entrant Status Check (ESC) website as soon as an interview is scheduled. KCC cannot provide information as to when an interview date may become available for your case. Interviews are scheduled numerically according to assigned case numbers which have completed processing. The Department of State designates how many interviews will be scheduled each month according to visa availability. You may refer to the visa bulletin at travel.state.gov for the list of current numbers. This information is updated on the 15th day of each month thereafter. Please remember that selection for participation in the Diversity Visa Program is not a guarantee of a visa or of a visa interview.
In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant's full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.

I received the same email after another inquiry. I think they just copy and paste from a set of answers or the whole process is automated. Only option is to wait until they send out 2NLs and start actual interviews.
 
Hi guys
I have a question regarding the visa bulletin numbers, when you open the visa bulletin for October 2020 and scroll down to November table, for example Asia has case number 2800, when the visa bulletin of November 2020 arrived, and you check down the December table, for Asia the number is 3500, increased only by 700.

Now does the selection number depends on how many people have sent their civil documents by email or there are a criteria?
The capacity of the desired embassy?
I think this visa bulletin numbering for December has increased by little for all the regions.

Regards
 
Not sure if here's the right place to ask, but why did they change "DV lottery" name to "DV program", is there anything important behind it?

Don’t know, but maybe they are trying to steer people away from the misconception that being selected always means you’ll get a visa.

There have been no fundamental changes to how the process works. Specifically, selection is still random so the “lottery” element remains intact.
 
Well AFAIK, the official name as always been "Diversity Immigrant Visa Program" - several past official documents supports this (some random samples below):

DV 2015 Roll Out - published 9/2013
DS 260 Roll Out for DV 2015 - published 5/2014
DV 2017 Roll Out - published 9/2015
DV 2017 Instructions published 2015
DV 2018 Roll Out published 9/2016

9 FAM has always referred to it as the Diversity Visa Program, not lottery.

My 2013 Selectee Notification Letter also refers to it as the Diversity Visa Program, not lottery.
 
Quick question.

I got selected in the DV lottery 2021. But my number is pretty high (EU00029XXX) and my valid visa status will expire in June 2021 and I have no chance to get this process by consular office.
Is it possible for me to participate in the DV lottery again (for 2022)? Just in case I wouldn't be able to send in/get my green card processed in time? Would it make any sense for me to do so? Can they disqualify me for the year of 2021 if I apply again?

No problem applying again, it has no effect on your current selection.
But your post is confusing, if your status expires in June and you can’t do consular processing (why?), where would you be and how would you proceed if you were selected again?

Thank you for your answer. I will most likely submit another DV lottery entry then.

I'm from Sweden but I have lived in Spain for a couple years. If applying through consular processing I have to provide police record from all countries I lived in and to get a police record from Spain is very difficult. You basically have to go to Madrid, with papers (I no longer have) and request it. The time frame would not allow me to do that.

I will also give birth to a baby just a few weeks before my status expires. In worse case scenario I would have to leave the U.S but that is not the plan. If my number does not show up in time I will submit another application to stay in status. I've been living in the U.S for 8 years lawfully on different visas. I have a husband and a child (soon two) that are American citizens. I have a house and a job here.
It just have to work out in somehow.
