Has anyone contacted the embassy to ask if they plan on scheduling DV interviews in Melbourne now they are doing immigrant visa interviews?

@TPNewZealand Hey mate. I see on the google spreadsheets that you're also doing your interview in Montreal and you've already gotten your document request.
What did you do for your Canadian criminal record check? Did you just get a digital fingerprint & level 1 CPIC record check with the rcmp?
I'm trying to figure mine out and it looks like the easiest option going through a private company which seems strange. And there's also a backlog of 3-4 weeks for the check so I'm trying to get a head start before they ask.
Cheers!

Thank you for your inquiry.
In order to continue processing your case, all documents should be submitted as attachments to your email to ensure they are properly received. We ask that you use the following method to name and attach your files: • Your DV case number; • The full name of the applicant whose document you scanned; and • The document name or form number. For example: 2021AF00938653_John_Doe_Passport.pdf 2021AF00938653_Jane_Doe_Birth_Certificate.pdf Use your case number as the subject of the email. The maximum email size is 30MB. If the total size of your attachments is larger than 30MB, send multiple emails using your case number as the subject of each email. Please send your documents for KCC review only after you have collected all of the required documents for yourself and all accompanying family members. Send documents only to the kccdvdocuments@state.gov email address. Documents photographed or scanned with a mobile phone are acceptable, but every document must be fully legible. Illegible or incomplete documents must be re-submitted and will delay processing of your case.
In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant's full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center. For additional information, please refer to the following websites:
This is the email that I just got from KCC. Can someone tell me if they requested documents or not? Should I sent them?

This doesn’t look like the document request email I received.
It looks like a generic response to an email enquiry.
Also please don’t post the same question in multiple threads.
I also have a second nationality. I asked Brit Simon if I should include scans of both my passports when sending my documents and his advice was to do so. I'm yet to be DQ but it's only been three weeks so I will let you know what response I get. I don't see how sending both of your valid passports would be grounds for rejection. I see you have now resubmitted your documents including only your Australian passport. I'm curious to see the outcome. Keep us updated. Good luck with everything!
Hey Everyone, so finally should be able to send my documents now that I have finally received my court documents relating to my DUI charge in 2009. The arresting officer at the time put my correct name DOB and address though for some reason for occupation he didn't fill out (No big deal i'm guessing) though for nationality- Unknown was written.
Do you guys think this could be a problem or am I just worrying too much. My passport and Birth Certificate show that I was born in Australia and my passport obviously lists my Nationality as Australian. Just thinking whether KCC might think its suss that the arresting officer put my nationality as unknown. Its probably hard for me to rectify this since this was in 2009 when this occurred. Any advice on this would be gladly appreciated especially @AusOC and @Britsimon. I'm guessing the arresting officer at the time was either lazy or thought nationality meant he had to list down what my cultural background was.

I think you are really overthinking this one - I'd say unless you had a passport on you at the time then they might always mark unknown?
KCC just process the documents - the person making the decision will be the consular officer who will have you and all your other documents there
@AusOC You are probably right, just wanna make sure i have every angle covered and so person checking documents doesn't get suspicious. Though like you said the KCC document people, are probably just ticking the box sort of thing. Though haven't been requested yet and I only resubmitted D260 10 days ago, will send my documents shortly since I have all of them together now. Thanks for your help.I think you are really overthinking this one - I'd say unless you had a passport on you at the time then they might always mark unknown?

Not yet. From watching @Britsimon videos, I'm making an assumption there might be a 3 month delay?
I know there's been a bit of discussion about this here and there, my bad if there's a seperate thread for this quesrion. Now that I've got all my documents together, should I be sending documents before I get asked or just wait until I get the email requesting my documents. I have a high CN 23xx. I know some people say to send documents before being asked, though was watching Youtube video by EBM Scholar and he says its best to wait until you get requested by KCC to send your documents, because if you send them in before KCC has processed your D260 they will just throw it in the bin.

You're always going to get conflicting opinions, regardless of the topic. I like this forum and it is certainly helpful but, no matter how many threads/videos/ replies you go through, everyone’s case/experience seems to be different. Sure, folks have similar experiences but, at the end of the day, it's your decision. If you are torn between opinions on what to do based off YouTube videos/ forum replies, you must make choice at some point lol.
If you send them now, and don’t receive a response, send them again? I can’t speak to your case number specifically (only speculate) but, besides the past couple of years, based on the historical data… not like you will be getting an interview anytime soon anyway, if one at all.
@LRennes that is great news. Congratulations. Please let us know when you get an interview date.
Hi Everyone,
Just an update from me. I emailed KCC 4th November (AESDT) requesting further information about the processing of our DS260, due to the number of people that have received a Doc Request and received the following reply 2 days later 6th November......
"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."
"Allow several weeks for processing" - We submitted our DS-260s 11th May 2021 which is over 6 months ago.
Although the email was signed off by a specific person with a name, I feel (but stand to be corrected) that this is an automated reply without them even checking on our case.
I have noticed comments on the forum of people asking to have their DS-260 unlocked and quite soon after resubmitting their docs they have received a document request.... @Britsimon are you able to confirm this or is it all just hearsay? If this is accurate, I wonder whether we should do an unlock request to get our case moving.
Thanks so much

Hi Maximum, we have had all our vaccinations done in advance, just in case we find out at short notice about the interview. We also got titres done for all vaccines we had years ago since we didn’t feel we had enough evidence to prove the vaccinations had been given. We will be getting our 3rd dose of Pfizer as soon as we are able to.
I suggest you have to be patient , do not unlock for the sake of speeding up the case, last week a person who submitted on 11th May received DR after long wait, as they are going towards the end of May Submissions they will come to your case.
