DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hi All , today I received email from KCC which includes :

"""
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.
""""

We checked and confirmed that we sent copy of our passports already and they are totally same as what we filled in DV2022 applications , any idea why they sent us this request again ? My passport is Valid up to 2024 and I sent pdf file of first two pages .

So I received the same email on 20th October.
- I will share my situation as it sounds like we are similar.
- I have two passports from two countries, my country of birth and another country (where my mum was born).
- Both of these passports are current and valid. I listed only one passport in the original green card entry (as there was room for only one) and in the DS260 I listed both as there was room for both.
- Then I received the same email you got above.
- Checking these forums, I saw recommended by the Super Moderators to do the following:
a) Write a letter (.pdf) with all of your details full name, CN, birthdate, and explaining why you have 2 passports and include the passport number and validity date period. Explain how you got them i.e. by birth and by naturalisation or whatever your situation is. And hand sign the letter. And then send KCCDVdocuments an email with that letter attached, and ALL your documents again in one email. In the body of that email include your full name, birthdate, Case number as well.

- This worked for me, and I was DQ'd today (less than a month since I sent my letter explaining why I have 2 passports).

Interesting... In DS-260 they were asking just for an additional passport number (no expiry date, or other details), and in supporting documents request they referred just to "currently valid passport" in the singular. So I figured out it is important to send biometrics of a "primary" one that is used for DV lottery and bring another one as suggested to the interview.

Do your both countries have the same eligibility criteria? Maybe that might be a reason for an additional document request?

Out of the curiosity, how did you name both documents? DV000CN_John_Doe_Passport_Country? Or DV000CN_John_Doe_Passport_Main & _Additional?

I am tempted to resend the package again. Already sent two times, and no DQ yet... Don't want to spam them... both countries have the same eligibility, same region...

I can only speak about my experience. Best to review the forum to see if others advise otherwise.
I reviewed my saved DS-260, to give you accurate answers:

In the DS-260 it asks: "Do you hold or have you held any nationality other than the one you have indicated above?"
I answered "Yes"
Then it asked: "Other Country/Region of Origin (Nationality) (1):"
I answered "[The Other Country]"
Then it asked: "Do you hold a passport from the country/region of origin (nationality) above?"
I answered "Yes"
Then it asked "Passport Number:"
I answered "[My Passport Number]"
That's it.

DV eligibility is based on the country you were born in.
One of my passports is EU the other is another Region.

I included full honest answers to all questions in the DS-260.
I email attached both of my passports (both current/valid) when the documents were requested.
And I will take both to my interview, when that is kindly scheduled.

Best not to overthink things re: single/plural tense.

I had two separate pdfs, and named the documents:
"2022EU0000XXXX_Full_Name_Passport_Country.pdf"
"2022EU0000XXXX_Full_Name_Passport_OtherCountry.pdf"

I reckon give them time, it takes a long time to process everything. Mine took over two months after I sent my documents to be DQ'd.
I know it's stressful and you don't want to make mistakes and waste time, but best thing to do is trust the process.

Hi there. End of September got the following email:

Case Number: 2022EU00008XXX
Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:
Congratulations! Our records indicate that your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview when your case number becomes current and appointments are available. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on region and which case numbers have already been processed.
....
If your case becomes current and you have not received notification to check dvprogram, you may contact KCCDV"

Today my case number becomes current (based on the published bulletin, European numbers up to number 10,000 in January).
Yet to receive any notification. How long will take to get an invitation (approximately) or should I send KCC email?

Thanks in advance.
 
Guys, I submitted my ds on 2021/07/12 yyyy/mm/dd CN: AS29K

1- When do you think I'm getting DR? or at this speed will I ever get DR?
2- Do you think at one point in FY22 KCC will stop sending DR? did that happen in DV21 in FY21?

BR

My case number has been current since October 1st (EU14xx), I’m DQ’d since October 22nd and still waiting for my 2NL.

I’m hoping to get the 2NL this month for an interview in January, but maybe it’ll take longer than that…

I am just wondering: have you emailed them? What they have told you? Because it is an issue if your CN is current in October and you haven't gotten any feedback from them. I am not suggesting you to email KCC, I myself haven't been dq yet (9 weeks passed), and still didn't email them so that I don't clog their inbox. Just wondering. Thank you.
 
Well kcc is very slow..they are still at 23 may....and are they not even scheduling enough interviews...I am hoping they just speed up a little bit from January...

No I haven’t emailed KCC yet.
Considering I got DQ just over 3 weeks ago, it still seems like a fairly reasonable delay at the moment, so I don’t see the point in clogging their inbox at this point. Plus I know they haven’t scheduled many interviews so far, so I don’t think it’s just my case that’s “late” from the October Visa Bulletin.

For now I’ll wait and see what happens, and it’ll still be time to contact them in December if I still haven’t received the 2NL.

Hi there!
This is good news. Like the impression that things are moving a bit even though I haven't seen any sign of an interview scheduled for the EU region yet.
Can you share your NC with us? Thank you.
 
Hi, just some info about our case which might help with the tracking:

EU7XX

Submitted DS260: September 4th
Requested unlock: September 10th
Form unlocked: October 19th

Didn't send the documents yet. Still waiting for KCC, but by reading the previous posts seems that it will be a long ride :)
