I think it is safe to expect this will only happen next year. There is some backlog and clearly the embassy isn't scheduling interviews how we expected it would happen, and it is almost mid October. I've reset my mindset to expect this to pick up in January. 

You should concentrate in buying the wheelbarrows which Ruto is giving lol

Look at all those DV  VISAs.  Over 250 DV VISAs versus 27 IR1/CR1 VISAs!   I thought the consulates were prioritizing family VISAs, but instead they are issuing 10 times as many diversity VISAs as family VISAs.

 

Yes, let's hope they get back into the IR1/CR1 business again because the ratio of diversity VISAs to true family VISAs issued is pathetic!

They had till September 30th for the DV so that’s why they were a priority. Hopefully the family ones can now get priority.

I had seen an email, maybe this post or another, that they would resume in october? On a side note and not being political, voting Blue will emove this shenanigans we are seeing

You were just being political -- and very bad at that.  Voting blue has nothing to do with what's going on right now in terms of immigration.  What's going on right now is 100% due to COVID. 

 

Current Admin:  I wouldn't call clamping down on illegal immigration and putting more scrutiny on high risk countries shenanigans.  The only thing that hurt some here was the suspension of some greencards several months back, but it would have looked REALLY bad if any administration let in a bunch of work VISAs when unemployment for here in the US was skyrocketing in the spring/early-summer.

 

Moreover, the last administration deported WAAAAY more people than the current one, so let's not go there.  Nuf said.

Asante for sharing the stats. Gives us hope. I wish I knew a DV winner to wish them well. 
 

Now it’s waiting time for IR/CR and the K1 visa crowd. All the best to everyone. Hang in there.

I emailed the embassy and got this response yesterday 

 

“Dear applicant,

 

Thank you for your email. Please note that currently the consular section is closed for routine visa services because of the current COVID-19 crisis. You may visit www.travel.state.gov and contact us back when we resume routine operations so that we can assist you.

 

Sincerely, 

 

Customer Representative 1

Immigrant Visa Unit

Consular Section

US Embassy Nairobi”

 

Hope this helps us in waiting patiently 

2 months ago I emailed the embassy and got the above response. Earlier this week I emailed them a second time and I got the following response on 23rd October.

It lines up with the fact that in September the embassy issued over 250 DV VISAs, so they are operating.  Let's hope they start cranking out family VISAs this fast also.
