As Susie said, the 14 day bans can be worked around. Biden has said he plans to remove the Travel ban. Pp10014 is due to expire before Biden takes office so naturally, he has not commented on that yet.

Okay, this makes a lot of sense, thank you @Britsimon and @SusieQQQ
I had not heard about him removing that ban (my bad) and I had no idea it could be worked around. How would you mean? Again, thank you so much for correcting me, I was clearly misinformed. Thank you!!!

Dear Sir,
I'm a DV winner from Asia. I'm in the stage of submitting documents to KCC. In regards to police clearance my husband has to collect four clearances. Due to this COVID-19, if we are not able to collect all the police clearances, would KCC accept the application.
My no. is AS110000+.

You asked a similar question back on August 28th, @Aidyn responded with guidance on what you need to do. I recommend you follow the suggestions on that post

Official guidance as to what police certificates are acceptable and how to obtain them are on the Dept of State “reciprocity” pages, here https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...ciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html Select your country using the alphabetical index at the side, then scroll down to the documents you are looking for. Unless it specifcally says that documents are unavailable (sometimes they are for those no longer residing somewhere, but this is rare) you are expected to submit them. (If it says “none” under exceptions, then you must submit.) if there is an exception, you can print that page that explains why it is unavailable and send that to kcc.

I think it’s probably better to look at the ratio between the highest CN and the current numbers on the VB.

Africa typically has higher CNs. So naturally they would appear to progress faster than other regions. The same reason OC appears to progress “slowly”.

IF the highest number is asia is 10k, at this ratio it would never arrive to 8k (that if the interviews starts in January until Sept)

No one until this moment has received the 2nd email that containa interview instructions yet, so interviews might even starts in Feb or even March

This could be a possibility. But we won’t really know until next year. We’ll just have to see what happens with the ban, and how KCC plans to proceed from there.

Also, increases in VB numbers can fluctuate. Some months may progress faster than others. A 1000+ jump on one month could be followed with a 2000+ jump the next time.

Right now, I wouldn’t really panic because no one is getting interviewed in any case. Current or not, no one has received a visa yet.
 
Hello !

At question “Have you traveled to any countries/regions within the last five years ?” I forgot to add the USA, although ai was with a student visa several times. Should I unlock the DS260 to complete the form with USA?
Thank you !

For your family information you will have to use the name written on their passports, whatever that may be.
 
Hi all,

I'm currently having problem obtaining China police certificate because there's still travel restriction from their government. And I don't have any contact in China anymore because it has been a long time.

FYI I managed to get police certificate from Singapore police because they have their own online system to do that.

What do you think the best course of action at this point? Would KCC allow an exemption considering the current Covid situation?

In case anyone is interested, there was a zoom meeting last night with the lawyers that worked in the DV2020 lawsuit and that have started working on a DV2021 as well. They said they expect for a TRO within the next weeks/January (January was the most conservative expectation) and that they feel they have good chances.
They also mentioned these lawsuits might help Biden get rid of these bans as it will allow them to do so without getting in a lot of political mud and/or they might not even fight them because that'd mean wasting their lawyers time when they have better things to do. They also mentioned that they are trying to work around the Schengen ban, this one is the most complicated to remove and they expect the new administration to be working with the CDC on how to do this so they won't challenge the legality of the ban itself but bring up the possibility of having the visas issued and then quarantine in another country for 14 days before entering the US.

Would have love to have known about this before the meeting took place. Where did you know about it? is there a recording of it? are there any more of these zoom meetings scheduled in the near future?

He is probably talking about the lawsuit held by Charles Kuck and his team.
Plaintiffs can receive their reports or zoom invitation by email regularly
 
It seems like CP is on progress, the document from travel state shows 2021 Oct has already issued several DV visa out of the United States.
