Nairobi sent an email for people scheduled for an interview that they should not do their medicals because visas are running out and they'll only waste money.

Yeah on embassies view it was "kindness". Just i wanna emphasize this word. Otherwise clearly there is no kindness.

Yes, that is some form of kindness as it enables those CPer folks to not proceed with incurring additional expense on a hopeless situation. Considering for AOSers, the expense is already a sunk cost (applicable payments have already been made), I don’t see the “kindness”relationship between the two situations. I guess maybe you mean in terms of having to make the trip for an already scheduled interview.
 
Hi all,
I am still waiting with no response. I went to Brooklyn FO and they said they do not get any information regarding any cases and for me to try USCIS Office at 26 Federal Plaza. Obviously, the guard there did not let me in but was kind enough to tell me the hotline and asked me to say infopass appointment and to schedule the appointment. I called, and got through to a live agent, however, they said I am not eligible to schedule for an infopass appointment.

I do not know what to do at this point. This is so disappointing and sad. I keep emailing the Congresswomen's office as well. Thankfully, they respond within a day and said they are still waiting on a response from USCIS regarding their inquiry on my case.
 
My card was charged last night for the application fee, then this morning the announcement there are no more visas. Unfortunate that they can do this and not issue a refund. Is this standard practice?

Yes, it is standard practice. The Lockbox folks responsible for processing the payment have no way of knowing if there are any visas left or not. Same thing with the folks responsible for scheduling the bio appointment, they also do not know anything about visa exhaustion.

Yeah, you can give that a shot at this point as it seems like DV2023 might be over now unfortunately. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems the visa cap for DV2023 has been exceeded already and scheduled CP interviews are being canceled.

DV2023 visas exhausted

Sadly, it looks like the government are stopping all issuances for the DV2023 program. All the visas are issued, they have actually exceeded the cap by about the same as last year – it will b…

Yesterday, we tried walk-in interview at Memphis FO. People were nice and let us in for the interview. After waiting for ~20 minutes, we were interviewed. Everything went smoothly. However towards the end, the IO said that the visa might already been exhausted, so there is no guarantee of the visa. He added that the decision will be made in some days and will give us a call by Monday. Finger-crossed.

My friend entered the DV adjustment of status interview today and they approved her green card and didn't say anything about quota.

Words and current status are different things. Let us inform about her status. It must be "New Card is Being Produced".

Are you going by a verbal approval the IO gave your friend or does your friend’s online status show as either CPO (New Card is Being Produced) or Approval?
 
FOs might have already requested and allocated visa numbers for the eligible AOS applicants who are scheduled for interviews. This could mean that they are already among the pool of 'issued' (although provisionally) diversity visas. I would say it is prudent to wait until the end of the fiscal year to jump to conclusions. Hang in there everyone, who has been patiently waiting! Let's be cautiously optimistic unless it is proven otherwise by hard evidence :)
