DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Thanks for the update! Not really definitive but at least they are replying and acknowledging the DV cases. Hopefully they are taking into account the September cut off when prioritising cases, despite the fact we have been waiting for a lot less time than many of the other cases they are scheduling.
I am hoping they plan to catch up in May , they can for sure do that if they want , 100 + cases are within its capacity
 
Hi all, I went to ceac to check my visa status, and it shows "At NVC."

I googled the definition and see other status as following:

At NVC
This means your case or the DS 260 form has not been submitted yet and is held at the National Visa Center.

In Transit
Your case has reached the United States Embassy and an interview will be scheduled shortly.

I have submitted (2020 Oct.) my DS260 and required document but I didn't get the document confirmation letter.

Should I resend my all document to KCC to make the status turn into "In Transit" ?

OR the status will change naturally, all I have to do is wait?

As BritSimon has clarified as below:

So what do the status codes mean.

The first status for every case is “AT NVC”. You can ignore the text on the case – the case has not been passed to NVC. What this status means is that the case is in one of the following situations.

  1. The case is not yet current.
  2. The case is current, BUT the DS260 has not be submitted at all, or it was submitted but not processed yet – and therefore not scheduled.
  3. The case is current, the form is processed, but it is waiting to be scheduled (typically because the cases have not yet been sent to the embassies yet).
PLEASE IGNORE the NVC information that appears – it is a standard message and DOES NOT APPLY to DV cases

How to check your case status at NVC
 
Hi all,
I have a question, I am filling DS 260 and my spouse already lives in the USA and he is a legal permanent resident, when I applied in the first entry I mentioned him and the fact he is LPR:
1. While filling DS 260 do I have to add him again as an applicant?
2. If I do add him, will I need to submit his docs to KCC too?
Thank you.

No. If you add him as an applicant you are saying he wants a green card, no point seeing as he already has one. Just list him wherever it asks you to list family members info, but he is not applying for anything.

Does anyone know when will we have data for response rate in this first wave of interviews and where will that data be published?Thanks,Big hello from Serbia!
 
Is there anyone also from Hong Kong? My CN is 80XX and will become current in April. Have you already got scheduled an interview?
Would you mind sharing when you have submitted DS260/documents and when you have received the email of confirmation about all documents received?
I have submitted DS260 in Sep 2020 and submitted all the documents in Nov 2020 (much time spent in obtaining the police certificates). But I have only got the auto-reply confirmation email but not the one which confirmed all documents received. I have written to KCC several times but have only got the "standard" answers.

You are not the only HK selectee that still do not receive document confirmation email (Congratulations! Our records indicate that...)
As I know those with CN 5XXX,6XXX haven't received it also.
What I hope is Anunciato case plaintiffs can be benefited and enhance the speed of the whole DV process.

There are some HK selectees who shared their latest status.
 
I requested unlocks of DS-260 five times and made edits.
Does that negatively impact my case?
My case number is not current (AF20400 Egypt) and I didn't receive the doc. request email.
 
I have asked both Montreal Consulate and KCC about interview date , considering we have been current since Nov . both have replied back with template responses. Still hopeful they will start interviewing in May and catch up quickly .

CN5K here. I have submitted DS260 in September last year but I am holding off my document submission as I would not be able to attend interview until the coming summer holiday.

According to the HK consulate webpage, they are not processing any DV cases yet.
 
Some interesting information in the Government's report filed on 11th March in Curtis Morrison's Jacob v Biden case...
KCC say they have scheduled 714 cases as at 10th March. Xarthisius' data had 558 cases either In Transit or Ready as at 5th March.
If I have understood correctly, that means that KCC scheduled an additional 156 cases between 5th & 10th March.
 
Sorry to ask a question...

I've received a email from KCC last night about my documents..

"
Thank you for submitting your Diversity Visa (DV) documents to the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC). After reviewing your documents, KCC has determined that additional documentation that you have met the passport requirement, or an exemption to that requirement, is needed. Please review the information below and submit all requested documentation.

Each DV entry must include the passport number, country or authority of issuance, and expiration date for the principal applicant’s valid, unexpired passport. If the passport used by the principal applicant has changed, you must include a copy of the passport given on the initial entry with a written explanation for the change to KCC. If you claimed any exemption from the passport requirement at entry, you must provide an explanation of your qualifications for the exemption requested.

This notice is not a guarantee of receiving a visa or a visa interview. KCC is a document processing facility and does not make adjudicatory decisions. "

Which the high lighted the words I've Bolded.

My case:
I have 2 passport which is HKSAR and HKBNO which are issued from China and UK.
I applied the DV lottery with HKSAR passport, at that time my HKBNO was expired and I didn't renew it.
I've send the DS-260 first time in JUL2020
In Sep, I renewed my HKBNO and I revised the DS-260 to remind them I have another passport.
I've sent KCC my all document with HKSAR, HKBNO copies on Oct2020

What should I do?
