Well, of course they will continue to process some cases. Why on earth would they just not do anything anymore at this point? Some employees at KCC are tasked to only focus on DVs so do you expect them to just stop working? Are you referring to the note from Travel gov that instructs posts to prioritizing other immigrant visas over DVs? It has nothing to do with KCC.
exactly. KCC will keep doing what they are doing. If there are not appointments to be able to schedule selectees, that is someone else's decision, not theirs.
Yes it makes sense, I think that African countries are exempt from initial fee, they pay only after they get the visa. Though I don’t know if it would change sth - my interview should be in Abu Dhabi, not in Africa. Also I am thinking since it’s the second round of plaintiffs, I am wondering if if the judge gonna treat us in the same way as the first round ? I know it’s an unproductive thinking.. but what else can I do.
my CN is As26k and I was also thinking to join the lawsuit; Is it a good idea to join the lawsuit for a CN in that range or it would be just waste of money?
please don’t tag /quote me in these kinds of questions, you need to make up your own mind on your own understanding of the pros and cons
Post AOS related questions on the AOS Thread!
Please (1) post in AOS thread not this one (2j read spreadsheet in first post of that thread.
And (3) no need to use bold font... Again, we are not lawyers.
I guess you are over thinking about it, as long as I know with more plaintiffs the judge may rule faster... Also there are people from different embassy and regions and who knows maybe the plaintiffs get some sort of priority and a lot of them get their visas.
Any intersting update so far?
They are clearly still processing cases in case some people still had some doubts
And then it's case by case.
That’s disappointing news. Hopefully the fact that they don’t have a lot means they can still fit a good number of them in later though.
Yep, got the same note this am as well. They appear to be processing a lot of family based visas probably to work on the backlog. EB applicants (same tier than us) are also waiting so it’ll be interesting to see when some of them are being scheduled. If you are interested, there is a thread on Visajourney.
We submitted DS-260 on March 22nd and received document request on April 6th. Our case number is EU17XXX - Montreal consulate as well.They are clearly still processing cases in case some people still had some doubts
Looks like it's business as usual: "Allow several weeks for processing. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing."
It does not seem that sending the documents make any difference since they still say "Once the Kentucky Consular Center has finished processing your DS-260, you will receive an email from the Kentucky Consular Center giving you instructions to complete in order for your case to continue processing."
Do we know if KCC ended up NOT asking for the docs again? I only remember seeing posts from people who got KCC to ask them to send the docs again after they had processed their DS-260.
This is my opinion : Quite honestly, if it’s easy for you to get there and they are already doing interviews - bearing in mind you’ll need to get the medical done in Croatia as well so you may need a couple of weeks there all told - I’d change now. Croatia has a grand total of 32 selectees for this year so probably less than 20 DV cases, and it has a very light immigrant visa load in general (as in, often less than 10 a month in a normal year). Montreal has a large backlog of family visa cases and not doing DV yet. The math seems very plain to me in this instance of two vastly contrasting embassies. Again, this is just an opinion.
