March 2015 Visa Bulletin Released

Thank you @Britsimon and @guestgulkan - my DS260 was submitted months ago, so it's just a waiting game now. Very frustrating, as we got chosen last year as well, although our number was much higher that time round. So almost 2 years of stalking the Visa Bulletins each month!

Seems only fair that you get in this year after missing out last year. Did you both enter DV2016 also???
 
Heya

EU244xx here...another little bit to wait for the 2NL I suppose...
Just to add a little bit of paranoia... I checked my Visa application status on the CEAC and this message appears:

[...] At NVC
Immigrant Visa Case Number: 2015EU244xx
Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) for the next step in the processing of your visa petition.
If you have misplaced the instructions sent to you by the NVC or did not receive them, please contact us at travel. state etc info 3177 for additional information. [...]

I've never received any 2NL or email from NVC yet...
I tried to get their email address but won't recognise my number?

Should I just let go and just wait till April bulletin and 2NL or try to contact them anyway?

Thanks. D.

You can ignore the NVC message - everyone sees that before they are scheduled. If you submitted your DS260 before late September you will get your 2NL is a week or two from now.
 
Hello to All dv participants! I am from Kyrgyzstan. My CN number is EU00014xxx (current in January). I submitted my DS260 on 14 October 2014. No 2NL so far received. I read here that KCC is been taking longer time then usual to process DS forms . So When should i expect my 2NL? Is there any chances to get an interview at all? Thank you guys in advance!

Your case might be processed in time for April interviews, but more likely May. So you will either get your 2NL in a week or so - or more likely, in just over a month.
 
Hi there.
We have a quite high CN - AF38xxx and submitted DS-260 in May and then with the unlocking and some corrections in June last year.
Should I start inquiring about the DS-260 processing or is it too early?
And the real question is: will they even reach our CN before the total allotted visa numbers run out? (Break it to me gently :) Thank you

Your CN is very safe so you will get a chance to interview way before all visas are allotted. It is not necessary to inquire about the DS260 because your number is not even current yet (kcc only sends 2nd letters when CNs become current) and you submitted it in good time (so you need not fear being delayed).So you basically have no cause to worry or inquire. Your DS260 is probably already processed but you will only get your interview notification when your number becomes current. In other word, relax, you are safe.

Thanks a lot.
So is it safe to say we could expect our interview in June or is July a safer bet?

No one can tell you exactly when you'll interview. It all depends on the progression of the visa bulletin which is unknown until published. Your best bet right now is to focus on preparing your paperwork very well until you become current and are notified of your interview.good luck

Visa Bulletin up to April is at 30,700.
Late June or July for you. Continue with preparations such as paperwork, looking for a host, money etc. Which country are you from?

Hi, me too :) Previous winner currently living in the US.

You'll be absolutely fine with that number. Just make sure all your home affairs certificate requirements are applied for if you haven't got them already.
You may also want to check out the sausa.org forums if you haven't found them yet.

That's awesome, so happy for you.
Luckily we have our Home Affairs stuff, unabridged and all.
Can I ask you if the Matric senior certificate is enough to show, even with low percentages :) ? Thanks

As long as you passed, yes. Apparently they only accept English ones though so if yours is in another official language you may need to get an English version. (This is hearsay from SAUSA - as mine was in English). Also do be aware that Johannesburg almost always asks for proof of financial support so take bank statement, investment account statement, proof of owning house or whatever you have.
