DV 2015 KENYA SELECTEES FORUM

My friend is DV 2015 winner is troubled this. During initial entry he interchange her spouse surname. Can he fill the correct name on Ds 260 and inform kcc. Spouse is not principal applicant.
 
I don't understand why you keep posting these comments.

The CO MAY ask for the proof of funds and an I134 might therefore be requested/presented. That is clearly spelled out in the rules that govern the DV lottery AND clearly spelled out in the instructions for DV2015 and other DV years AND clearly spelled out on the Nairobi US embassy website AND clearly spelled out on a Q&Q session on the US embassy FB page.

But apparently you know better than the rules, the instructions, the embassy website and the US embassy representative. Really?

Do you know why they set a specific KCSE grade or qualifying work experience? If you know why, then you will understand why they wont ask for the i-134 form. History has thought us that for the last 3 or more years , nobody has been asked for such a form -maybe you are or will be the first one. Besides, a few hosts, if any, will be willing to give you such information.

"The Diversity Visa process is a bit different from other Immigrant Visas. It involves direct submission of an application during a specified annual time period via www.dvlottery.state.gov. Only if you are selected by the lottery will you receive instructions on how to schedule a visa appointment and complete the required documentation to apply for the Diversity Visa. Note that the I-864/I-134 Affidavit of Support does notapply to DV applicants, unless the Consular Officer specifically requests one at the time of the interview."

They set a specific KCSE grade because they have to comply with a set of rules. That is the same set of rules you think doesn't apply to Kenyans. I really hope no one has problems because of these comments you keep posting.

I bolded the bit you seem to have ignored in your own post.

Also you talk about 437 pages of a thread, you are entirely missing the point.. Even ignoring the fact that half or more of those pages are bible stuff and nothing to do with DV. How many actual posters are there who talk about successful interview? Now go look up the DV stats for Kenyan selectees, and come back and tell me what a tiny percentage it actually is... And then maybe you will understand why britsimon keeps telling people to be careful. You are basing a strong conclusion on a handful of people out of thousands of selectees.

Look at this link:
http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/diversity-visa/dv2014-selected-entrants.html
4245 Kenyan selectees for DV2014. How many of those post here?
 
IMO i am a dv 2014 and my interview might be in Aug/sep...i am on the process of getting the AOS....reason having lived in Europe for many years...and renewing numerous visas for my self and wife who was on a different visa than mine....I would say better be over prepared than under....they ask fot it or not.!!!...i am not taking chances..at the end of it all it will be me/wife and the CO...and secondly how badly i want the visa....coz Almost all Or All visa issuances are evidence based....to qualify for one....the below statement speaks for it self.....in my interpretation!!
"unless the Consular Officer specifically requests one at the time of the interview."

Britsimon, Actually I'm the one who asked that during a one on one chat on facebuk. I still remember that answer clearly.
And yes that's my facebuk page :)
 
Just submitted Ds 260 . the waiting has began. Get back to my normal life and forget about for now. Thank you for this forum.

Believe me Koechf you won't be able to forget about DV. It's now part of your life As from the day you found out that you are a selectee and until the day you'll get all your papers in the U.S.
I've been there, tried to forget, swore to forget, indulged in all the activities that would keep me more occupied but at the end of the day DV DV DV.
With soo many questions running all over ones head, once in a while you'll be checking your 1st NL still asking yourself, " was I really selected?"
You'll be addicted to this forum, If not everyday...you'll be visiting it more often even without posting just to check what's new, what's happening, what did I miss etc
My advice, be patient, Prayer ful n enjoy the DV ride.
 
Thank you, it is good to be real. You are right. Am better now not like the first time. Am already to this forum but I like it. It keep me going.

Britsimon, are you in USA already or in Kenya (Africa), are a Dv winner? Which year? Lets see your case number. I dont see any reason of engaging in some verbal war here. Besides, am entitled to my own views and am not a Consular officer or immigrant lawyer. All I put here is from past experiences and the current experiences in USA.
