Just found out I was selected last year

Hello guys.
I have a question please:
I called the KCC (July 14th) about my case and they said that my application was processed aND they could not get me an interview appointment this August,and they will TRY to get me one September.
The question is:what about if they cannot get me an appointment on September?and since all DV2016 must be done by September 30th ,if I do not get it before that means I lost my chamce?!
They also said to check back with them after the July 15th.
Thanks in advance

If you don't get a September interview, yes you will lose out. However if your application has been processed as they say, there is no reason you will not get a September interview. As far as I am aware they are not in danger of running out of visas this year so I'm not sure why they said "try"... Maybe just being cautious?

Yes, if KCC is unable to schedule you for a September interview (because your selected embassy doesn't have an open slot to accommodate you, and not necessarily because there are no more visas), then it means you lucked out. That will be the end of the case.
 
Thank you SusieQQQ and Sm1smom
I just called again today and they told me to call back at the end of the month.hopefully I get an appointment.
 
Ok, Simon may correct me but as far as I know Morocco is not typically an over-extended embassy. Good luck, please keep us posted about any developments!

Morocco is normally busy - BUT given most cases went current in August, there is likely to be capacity for September.
 
Ok hopefully thanks.
I emailed them too and their response was:

Thank you for your inquiry.

Your forms have been received and pending further embassy review for the continuation of your visa processing. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing. Interviews for the DV 2016 program will begin in October 2015 and conclude on September 30, 2016. Please refer to the visa bulletin at www.travel.state.gov to locate the current numbers being processed. This bulletin is updated after the 15th day of each month. Once an interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check http://www.dvlottery.state.gov....

I think it's about the same thing that they said over the phone when I last called them.

When did you get this response? This email is normally sent out in "stage 2" (see here - http://britsimonsays.com/communicating-kcc/)t means the DS260 forms completed processing but that the interview is not yet scheduled. They will be sending the 2NLs out within a few days. Hopefully yours will be among those, but if not, you must contact KCC again by phone to get them to schedule your case. Don't do that yet - wait until the 2NLs have gone out.

Thanks Britsimon for your response.
But what are the 2NLs?a list of selected cases?with case number?

The 2NL is the way people are informed of their interview schedule. It's an email which directs the selectee to check the ESC page where the "you have been selected" letter is replaced by one with the interview schedule. The email itself has no useful information. The 2NLs are normally send in the last two weeks of the month.
 
Ok thank you so much.
What about if I did not get one by the end of the month?will I still have a chance to be selected by the end of August?
Thanks again Britsimon for your time and your help

September interviews are setup in July. In August they will be working on DV2017 interviews for October. So - you need to get your interview scheduled in this next batch or very shortly after (which means by early August at the latest.

Some people don't get the email (goes into spam or whatever) but the letter will always be up on the same page you checked to see if you were selected. So if you see people talking about the 2NLs having gone out and you haven't received an email, check anyway. In the meanwhile, if you haven't printed out your selection letter, do so now as it will be replaced by the interview letter when it goes up.
