Seems you are not alone. My relative is AF15XXX, and current for January, but have not heard a thing.

The delay you’re currently facing is due to a combination of factors such as: KCC’s processing of your DS260 form (which is being impacted by when you submitted the form, possibility of what your DS260 information entails); and your embassy’s capacity (how busy the embassy is and if they’re limiting DV based applications). So you just need to remain patient.
Do you have to take your original university degree document to the interview? Or will university transcripts showing my degree was awarded to me be sufficient? My degree is professionally framed and quite a large document (Maybe A3 size) so don't want to un-frame it and have to take a large A3 folder to the interview unless absolutely necessary.
I understand a university degree is not a requirement for a DV but assuming you have one and want to prove it.

Instructions say original, from when I went for my interview the email said "Your original academic certificates and transcripts, plus one photocopy of each;". I know a bunch of other Australians (and me) that interviewed in Fiji did that, unframed our originals and took them as painful as it was (also had mine professionally framed). Didn't even end up being asked for mine (though others were) so did it for nothing
But the instructions do say original and they scan your documents I believe so probably wouldn't be able to leave it inside of a frame or anything. Not sure what the other options are, maybe having a copy you have made certified? (not sure what else is acceptable, id take the original to be on the safe side since that's what the instructions say)
Yeah i'll just bite the bullet and unframe it.

Hi there, in preparation for our interview I want to order a new passport for me (main applicant). My current passport expires in mid-2024 and for my convenience I want to request a new one in my town's registration office which is 10 walking minutes away instead of probably driving several hours to the next consulate after immigrating into the US in 2023.
I am from Germany and I could keep my current passport, which is then made/stamped as invalid when gaining a new one. So I could bring a new passport and the invalid made passport, which I am using at the DV process.
My question is: is this totally fine or do I need a reason at my interview when doing this. I guess "my convenience" is then no valid reason, isn't it?

That is quite fine, no other reason needed.

Hello everyone I have registered the DV lottery appointment application, I am scheduled for an interview in two months time but I forgot to add a surname of one of my derivatives, Abe when I click to edit the information it directs me to cancel the appointment of the applicant and edit the information. And if I cancel I may get a different interview date and time.
What is your advice on such case?

You’ve already been provided with information on what to do. Looks like you’re reluctant to do as directed. Well, I guess you’ll find out when you show up for your interview with the baby.

Whatever you do, do not cancel your currently scheduled appointment date/time.

Thank you
Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried contact the embassy but they have not replied to the mails I sent and when I called them that they told me they can’t provide any update over the phone call and asked me send mail again. I’m very nervous about not having any reply. I hope that it is possible to add the baby at the time of the interview. Thanks

Has any one from Africa who is current in December received his or her 2NL. Thanks

Are you saying you emailed the embassy informing them of the birth of your baby and requested they unlock your DS260 to enable you add your baby to your form and create a separate DS260 for the baby in addition, and the embassy is yet to respond? If there’s no response to that email, print out the email and take it along to the embassy on the day of your interview as evidence you proactively tried to add your baby to your case, They will either allow you to add the baby to your case by creating a separate DS260 for the baby on that day, or unlock the form and ask you to come back another day after completing the form for your baby.

Hello,
We have DS 260 completed and checked, ready to submit.
As I mentioned in previous posts, we are in US until the end on May (with possibility to extend if we what to), but I am not eligible for AOS so we will go for CP.
?? Should we contact in 2-3 months KCC and ask for an update? In case our file moves slow and will be in a long queue and others will be ready for interview with higher cases.
I am asking this just so we know if there is a time when we have to decide to just let my husband go through AOS. Also I understand that this year are way more selectees than before so we are worried we will end up too late for an interview through CP.
I got to that point when I am questioning the DV entry answers, how the embassy in Bucharest will move with DV, if I give up my H2b and nothing in certain. (usual panic as I can see on the forum
).

Ask for update about what? I’m sorry I don’t understand what update you’re hoping to get from KCC.Hello,
