DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Kind strange that AF 100 haven't received 2nls. Could this be due most US Embassies in AF region aren't operational for visas? Any update from US embassy Nairobi?

that might be a good reason, but in my country, we got 2nl even though there were lower CN with DQ. I really can't find any connection on how 2nl is send

I'm going to share the info without names but they are 100% correct:

Person A:
CN: 200
DS: 2021/05/20
DR: 2021/10/25
DQ: 2021/11/16
2nl: NO 2NL

Person B:
CN: 2٬000
DS: 2021/05/23
DR: 2021/11/18
DQ: NO DQ
2NL: 2021/12/10
Interview date: 2022/01/13
^ the interview for B was sent for him after the update but they did not send to A

Note both did not open ds and both are for the same embassy and in the same country

I want to point out for this " KCC pre-processed DV cases to ensure that DV applicants were well-prepared and secured all required documents prior to interview. This promoted efficiency at our consular sections and helped applicants demonstrate their eligibility." So KCC job was to ensure the documents.

I suggest we make a list of the must paper we need to take and the extra paper we need to take, maybe this help to transfer the program from pilot to forever

Please if anyone interviews in the next upcoming days share your experience with us from A to Z

1. Historical process as in no requirement for selectees to send in their documents to KCC before being scheduled for their CP interview. An applicant was considered “documentarilly qualified” once KCC was done processing their DS260 form, (or forms DSP122 and DS230 - immigration forms previously in use before both got merged into what is known as the DS260 today).
2. This is like asking how long is a piece of string. Each process had/has its pros and cons IMO. “Good” or “bad” depends on the lens with which each process is being reviewed and the person doing the review.

Do you think this new procedure will have negative impacts on higher case numbers?

What region are they at? AF, AS...?

Actually, Britsimon pointed out that I might be wrong even in the first part. Update says:



This means that KCC won't be doing even the form processing part or background check for DS-260 form validity. Now it is simple enough to complete the DS-260 form for all family members.

At this point, I have to caution you about spreading misinformation as some form of facts on this platform. Right now, it is unknown if KCC will indeed not be processing the DS260 or conducting the background checks as claimed above. Even Simon expressed his doubts on this as he indicated on his blog write-up

I have no idea. There’s still a lot of unknowns (IMO) at this point. I would rather “wait and see” for now than speculate based on one update which which contains baffling language.

Check out Brit Simon's historical visa table HERE to see when your number went current in past years. You can't really compare, but just to have an idea. If there are years when your number didn't show up, then it's quite a high number.

Although of course, we have a big backlog of people that didn't get interviews (we are 3 months in with very few interviews). Assuming they will schedule interviews based only on CN, then even if your number goes current in March let's say, chances are you won't be interviewing in March but in April or May.. But this depends also on the capacity of your embassy, the number of people assigned to said embassy and, out of those people, the number of people that have submitted DS260s.

Your first paragraph has false information. Since 2020 the selection became more secure thus making more cases as holes. This meant range of case bumbers became higher.

Ceac data will be out in a month and there could be better idea about the case numbers. I'm sure BritSimon will give very good information in time.

One thing is quite probable now: There were really high case numbers who managed to get DQ early on. If all regions had gone current in July due to the fake demand caused by kcc messing up document procedure and their embassy had capacity, they could have gotten an interview. However, because now the demand will be reported more accurately, all regions most likely will not go current given the overselection of winners this year. Thus, the DQ'ed individual with very high class number could not become current as happened in 2021.
There are many factors playing out, e.g. covid, embassy capacities, etc.

Just received response from KCC. I submitted DS260 late november. Looks like they are still processing DS260, guess Brit was right when he said to be careful about forms being only "received".

Thank you for your inquiry.

Your forms have been received and are currently processing. Allow several weeks for processing. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing. 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.
