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

DV Lottery info.
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 make sure you are subscribed to the channel.
More info on BritSimonSays.com.
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.

[@undisputedauto-mr6]

Hi Brit, today you decided to go practical, we are getting a lot of information on that table, thank you..

[@mjndahiro]

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.

[@martialfloriannzogang9199]

Very simple way to make us understand av queue at different us embassy. Thanks sir Simon.

[@BritSimon]

You are welcome!

[@korbennnn]

Thank you Brit for your incredible efforts helping us voluntarily. PS I was the one who asked you about this video in your blog, so please take my personal gratitude

[@BritSimon]

You are so welcome!

[@rezahoseinzadeh7667]

Thank you Brit 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?

[@PHM-ug]

Very informative, this is what I was looking for, it was helpful Simon.

[@fonsecadavid3784]

Thank you very much for the video, please tell me what is the exact time to apply change of status I-485 ? How do I know when it's time for me to apply for the I-485 from the DV Lottery? Thank you very much in advance

[@ehsanaminjavaheri9474]

Great explanation Brit.thank you for the time you spend making this video!i hope i finally get my 2NL.

[@BritSimon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rezahoseinzadeh7667]

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 Simon, can you explain how the AV que changes when the winner makes major changes(i.e newly married and adding dependent) after being processed and not current or gonna be current soon?

[@BritSimon]

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

This year, Ankara performed poorly for Asian cases. Were the earthquakes and revolutions in Türkiye effective this year? Do you expect the situation to improve for 2024? By the way, Türkiye invited all the cases under 2500 a few days ago. What was the reason that Turkey had not invited the submissions from June 10 and later and they were so-called jamand cases? Ankara itself is the decision maker or KCC

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?
