1. Dears,

   I am worried for the reason that I did not receive the second letter until now despite the fact that my case number has become current for January. I have confirmed that a certain number of mail has arrived at the local post, in which I am not included. the postal men in fact told me there are many people who do not receive like me and the guess that a second bunch of mail could arrive soon. However, I suspect this as it has never happened to send the mails in two rounds or more for a single month.

   In fact I had called to KCC and the agent has told me my interview is scheduled on January XX and she told me to wait until December 25 to receive the letter. I have also emailed just a day before but I did not receive reply till now.

   Therefore now I am eager to know whether there is a case where mails are sent more than ones for the same month or just ones for every month. Please guys tell me your experiance with regard to this.

   Thank you!!!!
   Somea,

2. Hi Somea, I am a 2010 dv winner from Europe. Hope you have received your 2nl since posting this, if not, you should email KCC again, stating your name, place of birth, age, date of birth. Make sure you get an auto reply after you send the message. That is the confirmation that your mail will be routed to the appropriate location. You should expect a reply within a week or less.

   Print out their reply which should state the date you have already been told via phone conversation. You can use this to go to the US embassy in your country along with your international passport, and 1st page of your 1st nl with that,you can collect a medical form to commence your medicals if you have not already done so.

   If per chance you don’t receive your 2nl before your interview. You should use that print out to gain admission into the embassy for your interview. Of course you will have to go to the embassy before your interview date to confirm and finalize.

   In countries with bad postal service some people don’t receive their 2nl till after their interview!

   All the best.

3. Dear DERESHAYE,

   I am from Ethiopia like you. It is possible to find out when your interview date in either way: phone or email.

   please keep in touch. I am also waiting like you.

4. Hi Patrick,
   There is no way to truly know the status so you will just have to wait. Doing things in your own handwriting shoud not be a problem though.

5. Hi Marwan,
   You can always try and contact KCC but they generally discourage it and are unlikely to respond. It is always possible the quota for this year has been exhausted as they always issue more lottery winners than actual places as they know many people will be denied. Hopefully you will hear a reply soon.
   CJ

6. Hi Jerry,
   Noone knows those details as they are not released publically until the end and usually published by the USCIS. You could always try and contact them but hopefully you will receive your reply soon.
   CJ

7. Hi Man,
   Noone in the public knows the answer to that question.
   CJ

8. Hi Praka,
   This is no special website. You can always try and contact the KCC or USCIS but they generally discourage it. Hopefully you will get a reply soon.
   CJ

9. Hi John,
   There is no publically available information around the case number the DV Lottery is up too. Unfortunately you just have to wait. You can try contacting the KCC or USCIS but they generally discourage it and probably won’t tell you much anyway. Hopefully you will hear from them soon.
   CJ

10. Hi Somea,
    I have no experience with this and the best advice will come from the KCC and USCIS around this matter. I hope you receive your letter soon but unfortunately have no advice to give you here.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

11. Hi Crowned Victory,
    Thanks for your great advice, experience and reply it is much appreciated by all.
    CJ

12. i am writing in reference to what somea wrote, but also just wanted to thank cj so much for all your time and help!!

    somea, i have the exact same problem (current case number for january but no second letter yet). i hadn’t called KCC yet because i thought we weren’t supposed to, but i see from this page that it is tolerated so i may try in a few days! (i just sent an email this morning). do you think if you don’t ever receive that second letter, you can go to your interview anyway? are the forms available for download online?

    i did have one other concern–in an earlier email i received from KCC, they said that the letter would arrive “if the forms have completed processing”. i assumed the problem was simply that the letter got lost in the mail, but is it possible that my forms are still in processing and i won’t be scheduled in january, even though my number is current according to the visa bulletin? if that happens, will they schedule me later (whenever the forms have completed processing) even if they are on to higher numbers? i didn’t send the forms in THAT late (early august), but they were later than other peoples’ because i never received the first letter and had to wait until august 1 to request info by email.

    thanks everyone!

13. Hi this is suraksha Kc From Nepal and I received my first letter but still waiting for second letter and recently I am in Australia as a Student. I am worried that in my document my address in australia is not complete, there is not my house no so can any one know that this matters a lot or not and where can we check our status for second letter

14. @ CJ,

    You are welcome.

15. My sister in law won US DV-2010. Their family live in Myanmar. She got first letter in May and replied to KCC in August 2009. But She is still waiting for 2nd letter. She (my Sister in law) request me to contact KCC . Now I am reading all stories in this site and thinking how can i help her case.

16. Hi, My father and I won the lottery and we received the “APPLICATION FOR IMMIGRANT VISA AND ALIEN REGISTRATION” and we ve send it back to kentucky in the end of august but i m wondering when we will get the interview because i m starting to be worry about the green card because when i put my case number in the dv website it says that i haven t been selected for the entry but some people are saying that it s normal because there is a problem but i just want to know what to do and do you know if i will automatically receive an appointment with the embassy
    i m french my case number is 2010EU*****
    do you think it s going to take more longer because we just send the paper very late than the other winners ?

17. Hi Clayton,
    As you can see from the many comments on this post that so many people are in the same situation as yourself with delays. You can try and contact the KCC and/or USCIS as many people here have and hopefully you will get a positive reply. However there is not much information I can help you with as the Green Card Lottery procedure is very unknown on the back end.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

18. Hi KML,
    You could try and contact the KCC as others here seem to have successfully done but unfortunately there is not much else you can do to help your sister in law.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

19. Hi,
    I won DV-Lottery 2010. I have filled out all the related forms and
    have sent them for Kentucky. In November, they gave an appointment for
    interview which is in 5th of January 2010. In 10th of December, I have
    received a letter from embassy of USA in Frankfurt that stated because
    I made a mistake and list my country of citizenship (Germany) instead
    of my country of birth (Iran) in entry form, I will be highly
    disqualified. Actually this letter comes to me after I did all the
    tests.
    So I have two questions: first, provided that we attend the
    appointment in embassy and explain the mistake (as you know Iran is
    not forbidden country in lottery), do I have any chance? Also, will
    there be any problem for me if I go to embassy and get disqualified?

20. Hi Maryam,

    Kindly be informed that this problem might affect your appointment as the most important for them is being honest regardless that you have done that by spontaneous or not!
    but we have only 1 chance in which they are some kind of physiologist so if your words proved that you are honest they might be accept you.

    best wishes and good luck..
    ~ Tom ~

21. Hi Maryam,
    As Tom has already stated this could be an issue b/c nominated country of application plays a role in the way that winners are allocated as the US don’t want too many winners from one country or region in the world but to be distributed all around. However you can always try and explain things in your interview but it will certainly be difficult as is a more fundamental error than say if you spelt your name wrong or got your birth date wrong.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

22. Hi Tom,
    Thanks for your helpful advice.
    CJ

23. Hi CJ,

    you are more than welcome, i remember that you answered me before as i was lacked experience specially in this issue but now after reading from an foreign forum and checking every step starting from submitting the application online till the interview and work in the USA
    so i want to help ppl as much as i can as i was one of them and was very perplexing issue.

    Thank you again

24. Hello everyone,
    My wife had applied for dv-2010 from Turkey, and was selected for the first consideration, but had not received any notification for an interview. It turns out that she had won an interview for December 3rd, but that notification was written by KCC on Sept. 23rd, barely a month before the appointment. Due to mishaps on the mail, we received it on Christmas day. Since all the official documents told us not to trust websites, etc. we had not thought of checking on her status through other means. Only now, we realize that the embassy in Ankara had even been listing the appointment dates on the web, and we did not have to wait for the official notification to go to the interview.

    I am wondering if anyone has experienced such a delay and has been able to reschedule the interview. The Embassy is not answering calls, not answering our email pleas, and not considering rescheduling in the absence of a documentable emergency, but that,s not possible for us, s,nce the date is already in the past. Any hints will be appreciated.

    Best luck for everyone.

32. Dear

    I have a question, and will pleased to get reply for that.
    My petitioner who is a USA citizen, filed Form I-130 and send me with some other documents such as copy of annual tax report. I have them to take to US Embassy on the day of my visa interview. My question is: does this filed form need to be registered in any office in USA by my petitioner or not, before i take them to Embassy? or it belongs to consulare officer to find it is valid or not?

    Thanks for your cooperation

33. I mean does my petitioner need to file it by herself and send me or there is an office in USA that files it so that it can be valid.

34. Hi Ahzia,
    I am not sure of your question. I assume you won the Green Card Lottery and are about to go for your interview. Once you get the 2nd letter and notification of your US Embassy/Consulate appointment, you can go, bringing with you all the relevant documents. Nothing has to be registered in the US.
    If you are someone who has been sponsored by a US citizen, then that is a different question and method and will need to know more to answer properly.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

35. Thank you so much for your reply.

    let me write you again about my problem.
    I am DV 2010 winner, i am schadualled for interview. My interview letter mail to me by KCC, but i did not recieve it yet. As i need to have Affidavit of Support from my petitioner. Now my question is:

    Do I need to have I-864 Affidavit of Support or I-134 Affidavit of Support from my petitioner?

    How long is it valid, from the date it is signed by my Petitioner?

    I hope i could explain it properly
    Thanks again for your cooperation

36. Thanks

    From what you wrote me, i could understand some from it that can help me.

37. I have question about my case number .My case number is
    ?2010asia00030*** ,guys do you think I will get the second letter
    ?Do you know if are there higher case number than that

    Thx Yoham

38. Hello Yoham,

    Kindly note that the current number according to Asia’s Continent 12,000 not 3,0000
    so you can wait and follow up via the following website under (
    C. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN MARCH)
    but actually you can wait recheck after march as it seems will be delivered isA almost between April and July
    how to be delivered safely and you win the lottery soon isA….

    Thanks,
    ~ ToM ~

39. hi my name is norah,and i have not recieved my second letter my case number is 14***.and am from nigeria pls do you think i will be sent the latter soon.

40. I am a DV winner and I just received my NL in January 20, 2010. My case number is 2010AF00060xxx. Should I still proceed with posting my Application since the KCC has not yet started serving my case number category or i shouldn’t waste my time because its too late for me.

41. hi,Tom.i wrote before but has not gotten any reply. i have another complain pls,while filling my form i did not write my case number at the right hand conner of the forms.will this be a problem pls. and so i decieded to send another for which i printed out from the main site. please i need some advice.

42. Hello Nora,

    1st concern i just wanna tell you case number is current in February isA. :D:D
    don’t worry it will be delivered in the half of March or may be less.
    2nd concern , all i want to let you know is that as long as you received second letter and you or you found your case number is current you can modify this info or it might be not so important for them to write it.
    NB: if there were a mistake like unchecked question …etc, in the application they may send you back to recheck and resend them again, so don’t ever worry.

    Don’t worry and Good Luck
    ~Tom ~

43. Hello kyei,

    Kindly clarify more.

    ~ T0M ~

44. I am from ghana and a DV 2010 winner. I have the case number 2010AF0060xxx. I have just mailed my application to the KCC. Do I stand a chance of being invited for an interview and when should I expect to receive my appointment letter. thank you.

45. Hello Kyei,

    the current number are processing 29,600
    i think that you have to wait a couple of months and check your case from the following website under (
    C. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN MARCH)
    http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html
    so after receiving the 2nd letter isA you will be requested to start over collection and preparing your papers.
    have a good luck sooner isA.
    ~T0M~

46. Hi Ahzia,
    Rarely is the Affidavit of Support needed for the Green Card Lottery (http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3730.html) as it is more used in cases of family Green Card sponsorship. As the intention of the Green Card you will hopefully receive is that you are able to work so that you will be able to financially support yourself. Is that not going to be the case in your situation? In the end all these extra support documents can’t hurt for your interview but they in most cases are not officially required as far as the Green Card Lottery is concerned.
    CJ

47. Thanks again Tom for all your great advice to people on this site 🙂
    CJ

48. your are welcome anytime CJ 🙂

    ~T0M~

49. Thank you so much for your information in reply to my questions.
    I appreciate your cooperation in this regard

50. thanks a lot ,TOM
