DV Lottery | DS260 processing and AV queues - how do they work?

    This video will be very helpful to those that don't understand the key concepts about how KCC process the DS260s, what emails they send if you ask the status of your case, and when and how you will be scheduled (after being added to the "AV queue"). The video explains the critical role that the embassies have in setting their capacity for DV interviews, and how AV queues can build up. Unfortunately these AV queues can become so large that some cases will never be interviewed, and that is purely because some embassies will not give DV the appropriate priority. This video will show you how that happens, and whether case number is important in the AV queues.

    Please note that I do not offer ANY 1 on 1 consultations so if you are contacted by someone through wassup who is offering you help for some payment, that person is a scammer. There is someone doing that by pretending to be me on my youtube account, but that person is not me - please do not fall for that scam.

    Thanks Brit. I don't think it can get simpler than this; Bottom line, Submit your DS260 early, wait for in line, and for goodness' sake, hope that your embassy works fast through them.

    Please also explain about the processing time of Heli 260 form.
    For example, someone who submitted on May 15 and someone who submitted form 260 on July 15, will both be processed in 2 months, for example? Or the people of Jovin will be processed much later due to the density of higher cases?
    Will KCC process case number 16000 earlier than case 2000 because it sent its form earlier?

    • @BritSimon
      @BritSimon  Рік тому +1

      Nairobi is more like embassy 2. They have done something from the beginning, but they have restricted the number of interviews to a number less than the demand, so a queue has built up and they are backlogged.

    • @BritSimon

      That case has not been added to the AV queue at that point, so the change makes no difference.

  • @rezahoseinzadeh7667
    @rezahoseinzadeh7667 11 місяців тому

    The video was very complete.
    The only point that you did not mention is the processing of the case number after the declaration of carnage.
    For example, the 5000 to 10000 carnet range is announced for March and will not change until the end of April or even May carnet.
    The process of case number 6000 will end in mid-April, but up to 8000 have been invited to the interview.
    In this case, the remaining case of 6000 will be invited in the next first invitation or not?
    When will this case of 6,000, which is considered a survivor, be invited?

    Hello Sir! I have a question. I applied for DV in 2021 with no child. Then i had a baby last year 2022 and May i found out i had been selected. So when i filled my DS 260 i then added my child. But i did not fill him his own seperate DS 260 form. So i received my 2NL and it had both our names on the interview appointment. Could it be an issue that i didn't fill in a form for him and can he be impacted and not get a visa?

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I humbly request information regarding the status of my DV lottery case.
    I had an interview at US Embassy Islamabad on MARCH 10, 2023 at 9:00AM. So at the end of interview my case went to the ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING (AP) and the visa officer gave me two slips (white and yellow).
    But my case has not been cleared until now
    When will they reply me to collect your passport in post office?
    How long does it take?
