You need to email KCC and request they unlock both you and your husband’s DS260 forms. Once the forms have been unlocked, update the number of children on both forms, then create a new/separate DS260 form for the baby. Then resubmit the forms.

Is your Case Number under 1200? If not, don´t worry, you are not "current" yet. If your case number es lower than 1200, check every day at https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx if you are IN TRANSIT or READY. If you are AT NVC, you have to wait.

It means KCC is getting ready to schedule your interview. KCC does not unlock cases already scheduled for their interview or that they’re getting ready to schedule as the case file gets sent to the embassy. So once your interview has been scheduled, you’ll need to contact your embassy to let them know you have a new baby you need to add to your case.
 
Hi guys. My CN is EU 9xxx. I want to share with you what happend to me. We've been scheduled for the interview on January 31st in Sarajevo. We've done medical and prepared everything but unfortunately today we recieved cancellation mail only stated "due to unforeseen circumstances". It's not written anywhere but I suspect it's because of Covid. There is no official news nor statements on the website of the embassy.

Same thing happened to another person CN 9xxx, scheduled on January 24th in the same embassy.

Hopefully the medical will still be valid when they start scheduling again. I'm just wondering, when they start again, will they call cancelled cases first and then schedule new ones?

Yes they would normally reschedule the cancelled interviews before accepting new cases.
 
Does anybody know why the 2NLs and the new "Ready" cases never match up on the "Save diversity visa webseite" ?

My current understanding is:
-Ready = Case is scheduled for interview by the embassy, so an interview date is set
-2NL = Interview inventation that is send to the applicant

So i would expect that both numbers are always the same, this i snot the case. What am i missing?

Also how does the Webseite determine if a 2 NL was send? From my understanding the CEAC Data dosent show that (other that the case switches to ready)

Ready is when the embassy 'accepts' the case in their system. It's usually a matter of formality and can take hours or days (assuming the embassy is operational). The savediversity numbers are based on a script running daily at the end of a working day of US and collects the data and contrasts the new data vs the previous day (Ready and in-transit indicating scheduling of new interview). So, when KCC sends embassies the cases, the embassies are usually closed due to the time difference and only accept it the next day morning.
The 2NL thing is different. I think, but am not sure, it should be sent the moment kcc makes the schedule and sends the case to embassy. But, it's been quite screwed up this year and many seem to not be getting the 2NLs, rather being notified by the embassy or have to enquire their schedule from embassy/kcc once they see their Ready status.

Thank you for your response. But today 2 new cases have been scheduled in our embassy for March. They got 2nl's They haven't been scheduled before. So, I guess we seem to have no advantage over new cases, and I'm just trying to figure out why.

I know you don't have the answer but can you share some thoughts about this with me? What could be the reason?
 
Hello Mom and Susie!

May be you remember me; I was a winner of last year DV and adjusted my status with your utmost help here in US on last August. However, due to COVID embassy could not schedule my spouse's interview at my home country.
She was a winner of this year DV lottery; Her case number is in late 20XXX. I looked out for a spreadsheet (same as you do for AOS) but could not locate such. I know you usually encourage people not to submit DS-260 and the documents since it shows the immigrant intent. However she already has a i-130 petition so I believe it does not matter much. In that case is it ok if I go ahead and submit her DS260 and email her documents to kcc? Thank you very much.

Yes I remember your case. While it was unfortunate your spouse wasn’t able to benefit from your selection last year as your derivative, she actually now has two potential options of joining you in the US which is great!
Considering the ultimate plan is for her to join you in the US, a demonstrated immigrant intent is irrelevant in this case. She technically hasn’t demonstrated one at this point (she hasn’t filed anything), although you have submitted an I-130 seeking approval to sponsor her. She should just go ahead and submit the DS260 for her DV selection at this point. She’ll proceed with whichever gets her scheduled for an interview first.

p.s. Document submission to KCC is no longer required for CP.
