Two Crucial Questions About the Diversity Visa (DV) Process Answered

In this blog, we’ll address two frequently asked questions related to the Diversity Visa (DV) process.

Question 1: Is it necessary to send an inquiry email to KCC to receive the 2NL (Second Notification Letter)?

Clear Answer: NO.
Typically, Second Notification Letters (2NLs) are sent to DV selectees based on the monthly updates of the Visa Bulletin, not on the basis of any inquiry emails. So, sending an email to the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) does not influence when or whether you receive your 2NL.

There is no harm in sending an inquiry if you want to, especially if your case number is current and you haven’t received the 2NL yet. But be clear: receiving your 2NL after sending an inquiry email is coincidental, not a result of the inquiry. If you have time and curiosity, feel free to email KCC. Otherwise, focus on your daily routine and wait for your turn as per the Visa Bulletin schedule.

Question 2: Why does the Consular Office ask some applicants to submit documents before the interview date?

This doesn’t apply to all DV winners. Normally, after receiving your 2NL with the interview date, your next step is to schedule a medical checkup. On the day of the interview, you appear at the consular office with your medical report and the required original documents.

However, in some cases—especially when the consular office identifies the need for further administrative processing or background checks, and if time is limited before the end of the fiscal year (September 30), they may ask you to submit your documents before the scheduled interview date. This helps them assess your eligibility in advance and avoid delays or disqualification due to time constraints.

So, even after receiving your 2NL, keep checking your email regularly, as the consular office may contact you with additional instructions regarding early document submission.

Final Tip:
Patience and attentiveness are essential during the DV process. Stay informed, follow official instructions, and avoid relying on rumors or unverified claims circulating in online forums.

Email Samples of KCC to DV Winners: from the DS-260 Processing to 2NL (Interview Appointment)

Millions of people from all over the world participate in the DV lottery program every year. But, out of those millions, only a few lucky ones get selected in the DV lottery program. Annually, 55,000 immigrants from eligible countries can enter the United States legally through the DV lottery. But unfortunately, many DV winners become disqualified for various reasons. Thus, we can say that being selected in the DV lottery program is not everything, but it is definitely the beginning of a beautiful opportunity to live an American life. As we have said before, being selected in the DV lottery is not everything. After being selected for the DV program, the DV winner has to proceed with the process very carefully in order to reach the interview to get the visa. The journey from the process of DS-260 to the acquisition of 2NL requires a long wait and patience. It may take at least 5 to 15 months for you to get to the interview once you are selected on DV.

The Case numbers in the READY mode of Nepali DV 2020 winners (12 September 2021)

In the process of DV winners, the winners of 2020 cannot be forgotten. Because Judge Mehta's final decision to proceed with the 9095 reserved visa process is eagerly awaited by the rest of the DV 2020 winners. In this context, there is confusion as to who will benefit from the 9095 reserve visa. Many DV 2020 winners had received second letters (2NLs), some did not, but many were documentarily qualified for the process and some did not even receive a document received notification from KCC. But the confusion is compounded by Judge Mehta's statement that a visa can be issued randomly because the reserve cases are under a class action of Gomez Vs. Trump litigation. According to the DV Lottery Charts , 3548 case numbers for DV 2020 are in READY mode from all over the world, with 7181 applicants (with derivatives). In the case of Nepal, 191 DV 2020 cases are in READT mode, with 331 applicants (with derivatives). The DV 2020 process, which was suspended in March due to Presid...
