That’s excellent news, let’s hope other embassies are following suit.
Hi ! hope you'll doing well,
I've noticed that the visa bulletin is 22k for africa which is not a bad number, so here's my question
My CN is AF54K, and i still didnt send my DS-260 because i lost hope on that and i dont wanna send it and not being called.
So, what do you think my chances are ? Should i send it in april ?

Are you ever thinking about applying for a u.s visa in the future?

Follow charles Kuck(one of the lawyers on the cases) on twitter. i think he is doing a video on specifically that.
It has been published already https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...-proclamation-on-revoking-proclamation-10014/
The problem is: what about regional proclamations now? Will Schengen people get our visas?

It should not affect the Schengen Ban. You’ll still get to interview. However, you’ll have to spend time in a different country for 14 days.
I don't mind quarantining, I even have a place in Mexico chosen already! But the lawyers are now saying that embassies are not processing visas in these countries as they are interpreting the Schengen ban as not issuing the visas

Consulates weren’t interviewing people because of the ban and/or local limitations due to COVID. If the Schengen ban was considered then there would not be any visas issued for DV20 in those countries. But the stats say otherwise.

You can see that many countries that were/are subject to the Schengen ban (under a different administration) still had visas issued in December.

I am just quoting what the lawyers said. I will email KCC and my embassy tomorrow to see what they say. I know Schengen countries issued some visas but those were under NIE (like F1s). Honestly, that's all the info I got and I heard it from the lawyers, I still don't have any information of my own one way or another

I’m curious to see which lawyers said this. I haven’t seen anything from the lawyers who were/are driving the litigation.
They just did, literally, on their live video. Charles Kuck and Greg Siskind. It ended a few minutes ago and you can find it on their Facebook pages.

Thanks. I’m not really a fan of watching videos about these sort of things.
If that’s the case then I suppose you would have to contact the embassy/consulate when you’re current. Explain that you’ll spend 14 days in an unbanned country. It’s still early to tell how embassies/consulates will treat this case.
I don't know who it will be up to, doesn't KCC schedule the interviews? I have been current for a while now but can't interview until this summer

Yes, KCC (in conjunction with DoS) do the scheduling. But if your case is stuck at KCC and you’re ready to be scheduled. You can always email them to move your case to the consulate/embassy.
The ink on the proclamation hasn’t dried out yet. So we’ll have to see how KCC and the consulates/embassies apply the new proclamation.
Also, there’s obviously a huge backlog. So I’m not sure how they’ll address that.
