You should plan to interview where you live, unless there is a compelling reason otherwise.
what do you mean “a low round” of interviews? its often easier to get an appointment at a less busy embassy

Thank you for your answer Susie.
I watched a video of BritSimon in which he was comporting the performance of different embassy and the one in Dublin didn't seem to doo very well... I also have read other people on this forum that were advised to that, as the docs that need to be provided are known by the embassy agent.. I just want to be sure to do the right thing
 
Hi Everyone, I wonder if there is an email template we could use to ask KCC to unlock DS-260. Could someone please share what they sent to ask to unlock? Thanks!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'd like to request an unlock for my DS-260 form to make an adjustment/correction (Sometimes they may inquire the reason why you want to unlock, so you can just save your waiting time and mention it from the beginning)

Case Number:
Principal Applicant Name:
DOB: MM/DD/YYYY

Thanks!

Regards,
 
KCC is aware of recent executive orders and is actively working on Diversity Visa (DV) Program cases. Please monitor the DV website for general updates to the DV Program and related regulations. You should also check the information posted by the Embassy or Consulate you chose for the location of your interview for operations details. The process for scheduling DV appointments has not changed from previous years. Selectees will be asked to check the Entrant Status Check (ESC) website by an email sent to the address they provided as soon as an interview is scheduled. KCC cannot predict when individual cases will be scheduled for interview, and you are not asked to take any additional steps if you have already provided all your documents and information. Please remember that selection for participation in the DV Program is not a guarantee of a visa or of a visa interview.


does it mean at this stage when your number is current only waiting for the scheduling for an interview, one can still miss out the interview date? According to the above email from KCC

I received the same message after asking them if my DS-260 has been processed already, and or my CN is not current yet

It is absurd how a case number of 5xxx get scheduled for an interview and the one with a 2xxx number is still waiting an interview date when the case has been current for several months.
 
I have a question about the Kenya US Embassy. The Nairobi Embassy has deliberately refused to recognize any official documents from Somalia especially the Education qualifications from Somalia & they have clearly included that in their embassy instructions.

And the sad thing about this is that the Nairobi Embassy is the default post for Somali winners as assigned by KCC. And due to this many people are rejected at the interview.
Transferring cases to other embassies is also a difficult thing as neighboring embassies don't want to backlog their systems by accepting more people that are not in their assigned territory. Also, KCC doesn't want to get involved in these.

So I would like to ask the experts @Britsimon @Sm1smom @SusieQQQ for advice on what Somali winners can do to stop this from continuing as many people are deprived of their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
 
After following this thread for weeks in search for new information, I just wanted to share my story for those who are also waiting for any kind of news and are looking for similar cases.

I have submitted my DS-260 for me and my wife on August 2. with a relatively low cn EU2***. I asked KCC at the beginning of October what the current status is for our case and received an email two days later with the information that our DS-260 was already processed.

Since we haven't received 2nl until November 1. we thought that we will get our interview sometime in January. But we just received our interview invitation a couple hours ago for December. So it looks like they are pretty late sending out December interviews (maybe related to DV2024 or the technical problems at the beginning of October) and that it is possible to receive 2nl until the new visa bulletin is out, even if we are far into the next month. So far I thought that they do not send out 2nl's after the last day of the month.

We are super excited and I hope there there is anyone out there for whom this post is relevant.

Wish you success brother. But how this thing works has baffle me. I submitted DS 260 in June and become current in October but yet to receive the 2NL. My case is relatively low than yours also.

You can t compare case numbers across regions who is low or high. And you can only compare progress vs other numbers in the same region according to your embassy.
