Second Notification Letter(2NL) All About it

This is the letter that you receive sometime after you have filled in your ds260 form. It shows your interview appointment details. When does it come? The second notification letter will only come after your ds260 has been processed by KCC. That is the first condition. It will also come when your case becomes current. That is the second condition. Earlier on up until 9th December 2021, the 2NL would come after Submitting Documents to KCC and the document submitted had been processed but things changed and this document submission procedure was removed.

When will you receive the 2NL?

First of all the 2nl will be sent to you by KCC a few weeks before your scheduled interview. It is normally around six weeks or so before your interview. One interesting thing to note about the second notification letters is that they are normally sent within the second half of the month that is between date 12 and the end of the month. Another interesting thing to note about the 2nl is that there is normally a month gap per se between the time you receive your 2nl and the time for your interview. Here’s an example. If your interview is in the month of April you would have received your 2nl in the month of February between the 12th and the end of February

Another thing to note about the second notification letter is that all the cases that would have been processed by the end of a particular month will be current the following month in the visa bulletin. Here’s an example all the cases that KCC will have processed by the end of July or early August will appear in the visa bulletin of August as current.

How do you receive your 2NL notification?

2NL comes in two parts: first of all, KCC will send a notification to the email that you filled in the ds260, and that email will basically tell you that you have a pending update. It will direct you to the entrant status check page on dvprogram.state.gov the same place where you used to check for your results. The second part will be when you click on that redirection and visit the entrance status check and put in your details you’ll see the second notification letter there.

Remember the email does not have the second notification letter. It only notifies you that you have an update and redirects you to the dvprogram.gov, the entrance status check page. When you check, you’ll find out that your first notification letter the letter that you received when you were told you were selected has been replaced by the second notification letter.

The second notification letter will basically contain your interview information. It will have your details and your interview details and the dates of your interview.

Finally, even if you forgot which email you had used there is no problem. It’s not a must that you have an email for you to receive your second notification letter. You can just keep on checking on that entrance status page frequently for you to see if you have received your second notification letter.
