Hi, I just received the 2NL with the interview date. I, unfortunately, am not in the country and cannot make it to the interview which is in 2 days. I understand that you do not want to reschedule the interview at all. But I want to take my chances and see if they have any slots available. Who should I contact to reschedule the interview? Is it the KCC or the embassy?

You contact the embassy. KCC no longer has anything to do with the case once the interview has been scheduled.

Edit:
By the way, considering you’re already a LPR, (you went through the process via AOS as a DV2020 selectee), returning to post like you’re personally going through the process could impact the quality of response you end up getting. You shouldn’t be doing that.

Hello everyone,

Someone who has been interviewed in Paris lately? Do you know the timings for the release of the passport?
I became issued on 7th April and my passport is still not ready to pick up. I've emailed and contacted the costumer service from the US Embassy in Paris and they said:

After the Immigrant has been issued, the US Embassy needs to complete the IV file.

You will receive a pick up notification once the IV file has been released by the Embassy.

We do not have a timeframe.

Do you know what they mean by "IV file"? Is anyone in the same situation? How many days did you have to wait until your passport was ready?

I have booked tickets to go to USA in 10 days and I am worried.

Thanks in advance!
 
Hey,

1. do I get an E-Mail when I have been DQed? I know I get one for my 2NL, but is there any information about DQ?
2. Frankfurt is very slow right now, but Paris is also in reach for me. Is there any chance to divert, so I can get do the interview in Paris?

Curerntly they attach the message:

Due to an increase in emails, it may take longer than normal to receive a response. We are reading and responding to every email, so please do not send duplicate inquiries.

I'm also interested if they really respond to every email :D

If you already mailed them twice, please be patient and they will answer for sure. When was the last email you send to them?

Probably is not a good idea to book flights before to getting all your documentation back... As from what I've heard, it uses to take about 2-3 weeks.

You don't get an email or a notification about getting DQed. You need to email them and they'll reply to you and let you know the status of your application. To do that follow the instructions below:
Prepare the following email to KCC. Do not send it more frequently than every 2 weeks! (You don’t want your email to end up on KCC’s spam filter)
  1. The subject is your case number (with all of the zeros), e.g: “2022EU00021345”.
  2. Body of the email (where the date of birth is MM/DD/YYYY format):
Case Number: 2022EU00021345
Principal Applicant Name: LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME
Date of Birth: 02/25/1985 (February 25th, 1985)

Dear Sir or Madam,

My case number is current for April. Is my DS-260 form processed? When will my case be ready for interview scheduling? Thank you.

Kind regards,
Firstname Lastname
  1. Send it from any email to KCCDV@state.gov
  2. Wait for a reply, they may come back in ~48h. Check your Spam/Junk folder, “Other” in case email ends up there.

Also, to understand your status, see the description of their responses below:
It is not mandatory to ask KCC for case updates. If KCC has scheduled an interview, they will email you and ask you to check the ESC page.

However, if you decide to ask for the case update every 2 weeks, below are samples of the emails you get and what they mean:
  • DS-260 submitted: "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." This means the person's DS-260 is not documentarily qualified (DQ) yet. They have to wait and in future when they ask KCC, they may get DQ and see the below email.
  • DQ/RFS: "Your DS-260 has been processed." or "Records indicate that you have submitted a complete and valid DS-260 application for each family member, and you have provided all required documentation to the Kentucky Consular Center. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing" or "Congratulations! Our records indicate that your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview when your case becomes current and appointments are available." This means the person is DQ (documentarily qualified) and thus RFS (ready for scheduling). This person then has to wait for KCC to start the process of scheduling an interview.
  • Actively scheduling an interview: "Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled [..]" This means the case is already DQ, and that KCC is actively trying to arrange an interview slot with an embassy for the winner and their derivatives. Once they finish, they send a 2NL via the ESC page.
    • If your embassy is working and has the capacity for your case, you can expect a 2NL within the next couple of weeks. However, if your embassy is NOT working you can be in a kind of limbo.
    • At this point, you cannot make any changes, because KCC has allocated the case to your embassy, but has not sent it to the embassy yet. If the embassy does not have full capacity, and there are more cases in front of you than they can interview in the month, then your interview will be pushed to a later month.

Both above email responses are sent when we ask KCC to let us know whether they have processed the DS-260, or whether they are trying to schedule an interview. I also understood that we shouldn't bombard KCC with emails, certainly not daily/weekly. Emailing them doesn't speed our application. If we don't email, we will get a 2NL at the same speed.
