ME: Oh Thanks. (Looks Like My VISA was already Approved - ONLY IF you have all the PAPERS)

That was the Experience. At 9:30 am everything was done.

I wasn’t so nervous, n I wasn’t overjoyed, the feeling I couldn’t explain. It seemed easier than I thought. Then I walked out..n am like is this the DV Process?. Well I got prepared coz of you guys. I saw some of the guys in the line with Pink Sheets. My Neighbor forgot his Birth Certificate the original one n was told to go n pick it….Since we wait outside what goes on inside no one knows. I requested to have my Interview Rescheduled n it was put on the 27th of August which is the last Wednesday of the Month n they dont work..so it was put to today 19th. I realised that many people reschedule their interviews n they bring them forward.....View attachment 116

Those to face the CO dont worry. God Loves You You shall be Safe.-

remember EXPERIENCES DIFFER due to our circumstances.....

Hi Forumates!!

I just wanted to wish all the remaining 2014 selectees the best of luck for their upcoming medicals and interviews.

Just to update everyone; I booked my flight today for the US. This trip is to merely activate my residency status - so I fly on the 29th of October and head back mid November. I will only make my big move in April next year.

A big thanks to @SusieQQQ for the flight advice - I ended up going with BA as they had the best layovers and price :)

Sm1smom,
We surely need to link up in Oklahoma @ that party.

lol............ well thanks for the invite, although the OKC party is meant for you DV2015 set. But the truth is I don't even think it's something you guys will be able to do anytime soon. As new immigrants, most of you have no idea what you'll be getting into upon arrival. I mean, where are the original initiators who came up with the party idea? :rolleyes:

Very nice question...:D :D
 
GOOD MORNING FELLOWS:
I have come across this;
APPOINTMENTS: If you need to schedule or reschedule an appointment, or register for DHL in order to collect your passport, please visit our scheduling contractor’s website here (https://usvisa-info.com/en-ke/selfservice/us_immigrant_visas) or call them at (+254 20) 619-0600 +254 20 500-6656 (in Kenya) or +1 703 439 2302 (in the United States).

Appointments are scheduled for 6:30am, Monday through Thursday, excluding Kenyan or American holidays and the last Wednesday of every month. Immigrant Visa applicants will continue to pay required visa fees at the U.S. Embassy Nairobi cashier on the day of their interview.

Now what is gonna happen to those who are scheduled to do interviews on 27th August 2014 - because this happens to be the last Wednesday of the month. And as per the extract above this is not a working day. I have been chatting with some Gentleman n Lady from Upcountry - with their 3 kids n they where scheduled for that day.
Who can advice us here?
Call the Embassy,they will inform you on what to do
 
hi all..am Ingwe CN2015af16***...from kenya.Does it mean every selectee from kenya has to have the knec cert sent directly from knec offices?.I happen to have my original knec certs with me.Thanks
Every selectee has to do that.This was after most of the dv 2012 (the C grade thing ) used fradulent ways to upgrade their grades.
 
Don
WHY I SHOULD LEAVE...
I am very sad about some fellow mates in this forum for turning against me on hate speech and abusive language just bcoz I expressed my opinion,since I joined I havent posted any ill against anyone here coz I do respect and value each participation, but the most sad and amazing of it z the people we regard as mentors of the forum are the authors of this! if anyone of yu thot am in the forum to exchange words, my ethics and conscience does not allow.some guys in this forum have turned pessimistics and sadists and i feel bad when others tend to discourage others and preaching the Gospel of impossiblity, just a few days ago a guy was killing prince johns heart after sending the COGC that he gonn wait long, and wen i did say that his case was simplest coz the EMB wil value magnitude of cases the same guy abused me yesterday mocked my post and sorry for yua ill motive... PJ had gud news the nxt day, every one joined this forum to contribute sense and helpful issues coz we all hve one goal of achievement, I wonder how can someone join the forum barely 2 months and she starts entertaining utterances full of ignorance and disrespect! am tired of being disrespected and abused that I dont feel home anymore and am officially quitting this forum, I wish yu best guys Who eva wished me well in my trying moments, those awaiting medicals and intervs may God be wth yu! .
Don't quit Sir,you are a worrier.You have inspired us and made valuable post,we need your input even in 2015.
