New passport - unlock with KCC, wait for date, or do nothing

[LJ75 3]

I am sure this must have happened to some of us, and if there are earlier but recent discussions, I apologize for duplicating, but I would appreciate if can share the links.

We are DV lottery winners, and my wife and son are running out of passport pages, and we wanted to get new passports before the interview. My number is EU25xxx, second draw, so interview will probably be in May or more likely, June. Of course, we are all current, and our case is still with KCC.

Just your thoughts / views on our situation:

 

– Are we better off waiting until the case is with local embassy to call them, ask them to unlock the case and change passport details
– Wait until the interview, do nothing, and just bring both passports on the interview date
– Email KCC now, ask them to unlock it, wait. change, and see what happens

 

What would you do?

Well, no replies, but here is what we did.

 

They got their new passports, then I called the embassy, and they told me to wait till the case is with them (it's with KCC now), so that they can unlock it and change it.

 

Quite straight forward.
