Looks like this is still a problem. I've had a couple of people contact me with the same problem. And no, they are not making typos in the name or confirmation number.... I literary copied it in and it gave the same error.

@Ham64112, if you are to use UACE, make sure you have at least 1 principle pass and 1 subsidiary pass ...

@lucky2015winner your story is interesting. My thoughts on this are that you talk to people who live in both countries who are in your profession. They'll give you a pretty good idea of the pros and cons of living in each country before you decide where you want to go. Reason I suggest this is I...

Ca == California?? I live in San Diego, CA and I had my papers evaluated with ease. I even talked to a few UC professors and they believed my papers were equivalent to an American Bsc. EE. I used http://www.thedegreepeople.com for evaluating my documents. It was suggested by an enrollment...

Yes, but it also depends on the line of work. I am from Uganda and I used my KYU Telcom degree to land my first gig as an independent consultant for a multinational organization 3 months after moving. 4 months later, they offered me a full-time position. I got to learn later that I was the only...

@talisman, hi The short answer to your question is none. Each country has different set(s) of banking laws which make it had to have one universal account (even with the same banking institution). So, even if you hold a Barclays bank account in Kenya, you'll have to open a new Barclays bank...

@jesminaj 's situation of having someone apply for you is very common in Sub-Saharan Africa. I have seen a lot of internet cafe's, photographers, and so called 'agents' (I'll refer to all as agents in the rest of the post) apply for a bunch of people in the hopes of getting a small percentage of...

Yes

@sas2013 were you told to pick your passport from the embassy? I thought embassies nowadays send passports through DHL ... did you register a DHL location where you'd pick your passport from?

I thought I should post here what happened to these guys, just in case someone else finds themselves in a similar situation. So, these folks got married between the time they applied for the dv and the time the 1stNL came out. The husband was selected and they contacted me for advise on how to...

Jorj, which part of San Diego do you live? I've lived here in San Diego for the last couple of years... and yes, it has the best weather in the US ... Trust me, I've traveled around the US, mostly for work, and there's nowhere else I'd rather live. We should link up sometime .... All folks on...

Quick question folks, what happens if someone accidentally includes an original certificate in the visa application package that is sent back to KCC after the 1st NL? does that person have to get certified copies of the certificate in question? or do they just go for the interview and inform the...

"the devil is in the details" This is where I think the problem is "the consular in window 4 a white lady she also nice , and askf me to rairm harm i raise and she swore me in and told me to do my finger print ,i did it my four fingers and interview started". If I remember correctly @tyt...

@pose you just made me run through the whole thread looking for a post where @tyt mentions the "whole swearing thing" but couldn't find any. Don't get me wrong, I was only trying to check if my assumptions were wrong. Nonetheless, this whole thing of going back and forth, pointing fingers, and...

@tyt I can only imagine the anxiety you are going through right now. But as someone who's gone through the process, I feel like something is not right about what happened at the embassy. This is what normally happens (correct me if I'm wrong): once you get into the embassy, you sign a waiver...

Quick update on this. He will be retaking the high school exams later this year to see if he can improve his grades. In case he fails to get the minimum requirement, that will be the end of it all. I hope he passes though.

@enoo ...what level are you at? graduate, bachelors, etc. ...I've not transferred credits before but I have had my Ugandan degree evaluated and translated into the US equivalent through http://www.thedegreepeople.com/services/evaluations/ ... I was trying to get into B-school. Those guys...

@kamale, we are exploring the options of retaking the exam. The problem is, the exam is given only once a year, and registering for it happens way in advance...like at least six months. I hope he's not too late to take the exam this year. His CN is in AF61xxx range .. so, I'm thinking, his...

He can't make it on work experience. I don't understand why school performance should be an issue in some countries but not others though...

Quick question, someone I know who won the 2015 dv lotto sat for UACE (Uganda's equivalent to high school) but he did not perform so well. He got 3 subsidiary passes as compared to the new requirement of 1 principle pass, 1 subsidiary pass at the US Embassy Nairobi (this is a consul specific...
