DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hello, I already sent documents as requested by KCC by email, I have read in this forum that KCC does not longer send emails, I want to know where is that information, because I see in the "if you are selected" page that we must wait the emails from KCC or Embassy with instructions. Thanks.

Hi ,
I have one question, I really need help. My case number is AF18***

I submitted my ds-260 form back in July, But I have never received a document request email from KCC to this day.
I have tried to contact them by email but they replied I have to wait and my case is under processing.

I was wondering If I have to simply send my documents without receiving the DR email.

Because when I hover DS-260 completed ceac IV summary page, I read "The IV Application (form DS-260) has been submitted for this applicant. It will be reviewed when you have submitted all supporting documentation".

It kind of gives me a clue that I have to submit without being explicitly asked to.

Please, I am confused, should I simply send them? which email should I use if I have to?


Thanks in advance .
To send documents you have to prepare an email with specific names for each document, any mistake will delay the process. I received the email from KCC with specific instructions. My DS260 was sent in May, the document request arrived early November, I am still waiting the email to schedule the interview. My case is SAXXX
 
Thanks for your help, Now I have a doubt, what is the next step? prepare the interview by myself? My case in CEAC appears as "At NVC"

KCC no longer require documents submission. When your CN becomes current and they’ve completed processing your DS260, and your embassy is processing DV cases, you’ll get scheduled for an interview.
The email and the instructions for contacting KCC should you need to are listed on your selectee notification letter.

So, this will apply to my case too, I have checked and is still at KCC (YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT: KCC)

I have to wait for the email informing that the case is ready for interview?

Thank you very much

Thank you, That is really helpful information.

1) Based on the statistics, How long on average roughly will KCC take to complete processing the DS-260? mine is already passed six months.

2) And the last condition you mentioned "your embassy is processing DV cases", how do we know if the embassy is processing DV or not?
For example, mine is the embassy in Frankfurt Germany.

You wait for your CN to become current, if your selected embassy is processing DV cases at that point and KCC is done processing your DS260, they’ll schedule your interview.

p.s. the way you’ve written your CN SAXXX means nothing here, you need to reveal the first one or two digits at least.

You will be notified when your case has been scheduled for an interview (although some do miss the email notification). Anyway you’ll be able to confirm (after the CN becomes current), by either emailing KCC, or your embassy, or by checking the CEAC, where you’ll see your 2NL.

1. Sorry I don’t do statistical analysis of how long form processing takes. It takes KCC as long as needed.
2. You can check @Xarthisius’s spreadsheet for more information regarding the state of your CN and your embassy. You can also check your embassy’s website to see if there’s any update about DV based cases.
 
Hello everyone!!!! One of my friend’s cousin has got DRQ mail his CN seems low but he applied DS form on June but he didn’t receive any mail I think his num is current what can he do ?
 
Can I know when did you submit your DS
I got email from KCC requesting documents mid November 2021. I sent them all scanned pdfs end November 2021 and got an email immediately acknowledging receipt, but since then, I did not get any confirmation email from KCC if my documents are in order/have been processed? (AF48xxx here, I know there is a long time before my CN becomes current but shouldn’t I still be expecting this email from them?)

Hi all,

Is anyone able to give me advice on my situation please. I am OC2XX, I received 2NL on 23 DEC 21 notifying that my interview was scheduled in Auckland, NZ for 09 FEB 22. I emailed at the time to explain that I was not in NZ and have been trying to get back to NZ for the last year but have not been fortunate enough to win the MIQ lottery, and requested assistance in a case transfer or to have the interview rescheduled. I have been emailing many US embassies to try and have my case transferred both before and after receiving my interview date, and have not been successful. Two weeks out from my interview I informed them I would not be able to make the current interview date and was not able to successfully find an embassy to accept a case transfer or to get a space in MIQ to attend in NZ, and requested to have it rescheduled to late March if possible. I received a reply that was a "copy paste" template relaying the fact that DV is a "first in first served" visa and therefore may not be successful if I delayed, however they did not confirm if I would be able to reschedule or give me a date. As soon as the NZ border opening was announced I put flights on hold and emailed again asking if it would be possible to have my interview re-scheduled to March/April.

As of yet I have not had a reply and my interview date is still scheduled for 09 FEB 22. I am worried that should the interview date pass without my attendance will I then be ineligible for interview? Will the fact that I have been trying to reschedule and the Consulate has not replied or actioned my requests be taken into consideration? Am I even going through the correct process for rescheduling by contacting the consulate direct or is there any other way to reschedule?

Any help or advice will be much appreciated. And I would hope that at least my slot of 09 FEB 22 can go to someone else if possible as my heart goes out to everyone else going through this process right now and all the uncertainties.

09 Feb 22 - Scheduled Interview Date
It's unfortunate you haven't been able to return to NZ and your scheduled interview is fast approaching. Most embassies (even pre-COVID) haven't been quite open to rescheduling DV based interview appointments (with the exception of a few). Some tell the applicants to wait until the scheduled date/time has passed, then go to their website and try to reschedule on your own - which is often difficult to do.

So you basically need to email them again (possibly later on this week and another one next week) and explain why you will not be able to attend your interview as scheduled. After that, all you can do is hope the embassy is able to reschedule for a later date (which may not necessarily for the specific month(s) you're requesting) if you still end up not being able to return to NZ in time for the interview.

Get a new one since you're still living in Canada and if your interview will be after July 28th. As a matter of doubt, err on the side of caution and simply get a new one. Being over prepared is your best form of preparation.
 
@SusieQQQ @Sm1smom hello!!! there hope you all are doing good!!!

I think you may also seen that USA travel gov has been tweet 3 days ago that they are in halfway in 2022Dv lottery visa. I wanted to ask you that what does it means that they are in halfway is it means that in 55000 visa they have given half of them ? Or what does it means already the 8000 has become current for ASIA and for March It is 8300 CN cases are current the visa bulletin shows and as I mentioned above if the “halfway” of USA visa process which they mentioned in tweet means as per to I mentioned above after 25000 CN will not come to visa bulletin ? And also it’s little confuse AF got 20000 CN current what does it means then for AS only 8000 then it is little confusing please answer someone??
