DV 2023 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

sg2023 said:
Hi, Is the 2NL sent in order of processed DS-260s (when our case numbers are current) or do they go by case number? For example, if my case number is 2023SA240X and I sent my DS260 in May and was processed in October, and someone with a lower case number that also went current in the same batch of numbers sent their DS later and it was processed later, are they getting the 2NL first or would I get it first?

Without trying to get into some needles analysis IMO, when you get your interview letter depends on the following factors:
1. When your CN becomes current,
2. When the KCC completes processing your DS260, and
3. Your interviewing embassy’s capacity.

When those conditions are met, the interview letter gets sent. It is pointless trying to compare who gets what when between two people with higher or lower CNs when those two cases are not interviewing at the same embassy. All applicants do not have the same number of derivatives attached to their case, their background checks will not reveal the same results - factors which determine DS260 processing completion.
 
What is background check?

Thank you. Might you know what these background checks entail? And are they the same as if one was to be put on AP after being interviewed?

1. See my response above ^^^
2. The background check referenced in my previous response is the initial background check. There is the additional background check that must also happen for all applicants after the interview. This is the one that eventually leads to AP for some.

p.s. number your questions when you have more than one per post.
 
Hi guys! I have a quick question, we did our medical exam late September, a few days before our interview. We now have received an email from the consulate asking for an updated medical exam. My question is, aren’t medical exams valid for 6 months?

Usually, but in certain cases (usually class A or B TB) they are only valid for 3 months. You might want to double check with the embassy to confirm.

Thanks for clarifying that, but I doubt it's the case. The only thing I could think of is that flu shots might be required since we're in flu season. I have sent them an email earlier and I hope they respond soon.
 
Hey guys,
Education system in my country is only 3 years of secondary school (10-12). And I have Bachelor's degree. In my DS 260, I only included this 2 educational institutes. Is that how it should be?

Clearly 12 total years of school, should be ok. Do you have some kind of middle school system? If so i might add that in as US high school is 9-12. That said, I don’t think it’s a problem as it seems clear you meet the requirements.

Yes, there are 3 different stages (Primary, Preparatory and Secondary) And only in Secondary education one can choose Academic or vocational course of study. So, in the DS form I see it only fit to include the secondary stage
 
Hello all,
Today I received email from noreply@state.gov with this text "You have received this email notification to inform you that you have updates available at dvprogram.state.gov/ESC. Please log in using your confirmation number from your original application to complete further processing"
But this link that they provided is leading to Entrant Status check, basically the notification letter that I have been selected.
Did someone received something similar?
And does someone know what is the link to log on where I can check if my interview is scheduled, cause my case will be current from January so this email might implies that but they sent wrong link?

Go to your ceac account and click on Visa Status Check. Then put your case number & submit. You will then view the status of your case. I hope that helps @IgorPop
