Welcome and please update your signature (just read through the forum on how to), and what reply is that you are expecting?
confirmation. i sent my form on 8th may and i havent heard anything yet
When inquiring about the status of your case, you must provide your full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY). For security purposes, KCC cannot reveal any information regarding your case if you cannot provide all the required information.
email to KCCDV@state.gov
hope this infromation will be useful. please update your signature
First of all, you can send another email to KCC to verify the issue of Mrs Munene. That is a common mistake.
The marriage date should not be a problem. You can explain that you did a customary marriage before you went to the AG and did the civil marriage. And by the way, there are customary marriage certificates. I have one. In Uganda, you just go to the city authorities and you register your customary marriage and get a certificate. So if you say there is no paper work in customary marriages, then I do not know about that.
However, you do not need the customary one since you have the AG cert already. You may have to go with pictures showing some kind of ceremony to prove your marriage besides the certs.
From your CN, your interview is in Oct. So I guess you should follow some one's advice on this forum not to wait for the second NL but call and schedule your medicals so that you are done in time.
Actually its a security issue that why we have it;we have smart guys who've written programs that can create profiles like urs & mine of which given that the program is malicious,its will create very many profiles,overload the server(s) & shut down the site thus back again to the need for image verification so as to ensure u r not a machine/program.
Honestly,now u r stretching it;in as much as I want this thing over & done with soonest,interviewing a potential of 100,000 (give or take) selectees is impossible unless its done online where u log in,conduct ur interview & get ur results,pap
Secondly,for us guys who r at the tail end(high CNs),we would really benefit from the ones who'll proceed before us thus less surprises.
I've gone thru the threads & I'm yet to see any/remember any;for DV 2007,9ja thread ,there were those who did not breach the Sept cut-off(20,700) thus they were left out.It was a really sad affair.As it is,I'm yet to hear of persons who were current but failed to receive the 2nd notification.What I think/gathered from the various threads is that KCC hardly disqualifies anyone;their job is to process ur docs even if with errors & forward them to the Embassy to weed out the wolves from the flock
Anxiety is still building up but all is ok, got an opportunity to go to South Africa for training (fully paid by company) atleast days will move fast by the time am back..hopefully the certifications that i will get will help me in a big way to secure some technical jobs in US..Lets keep on praying for one another , in the previous years forums there was a lady who used to pray, so we need a pastor here to intrceed for all of us..think about It..Have a wonderful weekend guyz..

After security checks and payment we finally entered the main interview room for the very first time around 10am. soon after our number was called up to station ?, and documents collected by a young nigerian chap.he then said to my wife ,ummmh you had distinction in ur ssce.pls wot is almighty formular and tell be about bodmas. wife answered to the best of her knowledge.I was like is this the interview, though i said it to myself.the next thing he said to me when did u marry. he was quite too serious with no smile..after that he asked us to go n sit and that our number will be called up again.he took our docs inside and returned our passports.Our number was called at about 1.15 pm to thesame station. this time, it was a white american middle aged man

Hsband(fiso):all questions asked from me again by c.o. about the bus park, i saw him jot down what my wife said. its so funny i saw wot he wrote in yoruba.he ticked it as i said same thing.lol
C.O:OK CALL UR WIFE PLS
C.O: i am going to give u a form pls bring everything u brought today with ur courtship pics and medical report.when do u both think its convenient for u.
BOTH OF US : date given.
c.o: hn let me check if im going to be available then?
we were given the form which reads : you are ineligible for immigrant visa according to section 221g of the immigration act....bla bla bla
just because of of that word INELIGIBLE i was scared and really mad that day.
SECOND INTERVIEW:
we were checked in to the IVU SECTION just on the right side of the main interview room. there a nigerian man walked into the room we were and pretended hes not for us. he went straight to the security guys there and was having a chat with them.i observed he was watching us, but in ma mind ,i was like why is this one looking at us. the next minute he walked up to my wife and asked her to follow him.she returned back to the room we were together after 1hour with the same man and he then asked me to follow him.i was taken upstairs upstairs via a lift to the FPU ROOM. thats where i saw fpu.a room before that i saw the consular officer that interviewed us the last time and some other consular officers.
TAKE NOTE: THIS IS WHERE THE MAIN INTERVIEW IS.just by one nigerian man.
i was asked same questions my wife was asked. my bag was searched, all documents searched.
after that ,the interview now goes with diff interrogations , personal questions(when was ur last sex,what position do u take during sex,wort type of sex u like,what did u do after ur last sex , did sleep after or bla bla bla.do u have a child, when re u planning to start having,etc..)now tell me about your inlaws what is ur father n mother inlaws name, what do they do,when did u last see them,etc .wedding and courtship pics all checked we were asked who is who. A picture in which the proposal letter with words not too visible ,a magnifier was used to check on it very well.some fake documents of marriages where shown to us .fake wedding albums, etc.they have lots there guys. we were told that they will call the FBI if we dont say the truth now. we were scared with all sorts. there was another couple been investigated in the room we were by another nigerian chap.
he was quite intentionally rude to get us angry. i just remained calm , focused with all smiles.
finally ,he asked my wife where re u planning to stay in us,whos the person, how is he related to u,have u seen him before ,when last did u speak to him. how long ago did he travel to the united states.
wife: bla bla bla
he then said we can now go and that the embassy will call us.
i asked him PLS ARE U NOT GOING TO COLLECT OUR MEDICALS...he said thats not his duty. the embassy will call u,he then said we should keep our phones on all day and night.
he escorted us via the lift back to the exit..
ABOUT 4WKS PLUS, i was called around 4.15am.
the chap on phone said this is u.s embassy pls give the phone to ur wife. i was far asleep, when i heard US embassy i was quite alert.i replied my wife is not with me . she sis bla bla bla. when did u last speak with her n what did u say last. ok pls do not call or disturb her.ok?
Immediately , my wife was called. he said pls give the phone to ur husband, etc
wife: answered... similarly.as she later called me that the embasssy just called her.
he didnt tell my wife not to call me so she did call. it was then i said to her i was called first. if i had tried to call her her phone would have been engaged, or say busy. so i just left every thing for GOD to sort out.
<2weeks after this call, my wife was called early in the morning that we should come to the embassy any day from mon to thursday that week.
as she was about to ask for the time , the call went off.she tried to call back though, with no response.
THIRD AND FINAL INTERVIEW: n
we got to the embassy main gate with all our docs again. At about 9am.the security guard there said our names were not on the list for that day.i simply and politely asked him pls can u make a call inside to confirm this. he then said do i want to teach him, his job. he later said we should leave the area and go stand close to the tree where people line up.
i was like ooh my GOD. why and what is happening?.i was confused up to the extent i asked my wife ..did the embassy call u? she got upset , as she felt it was a stupid question.later apologised to her.
i then spoke to another security guard,whom GOD used to help us. he went inside to call after collecting our dv number and the 221g form given to us AT OUR FIRST INTERVIEW. he returned few mins later and asked us to wait till 1pm and come in with other applicants for 1pm.
finally we entered the main interview room the 2nd time ,this time around. we waited and waited,before our number was called.A YOUNG couple that came as well the 3rd time were told that they have been permanently banned from entering the U.S. As i heard that i got scared, some others were interviewed and scheduled for another interview.70% of people we entered together were denied.
At about 3.45 pm we were called again by the very first young nigerian chap that collected our docs.he asked for our passport and the white envelope in the xray bag.
NO FURTHER INTERVIEW, I WAS SHOCKED. i thought we where going to be interviewed again.
HE THEN SAID CONGRATULATIONS.... YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE ELIGIBLE, BLA BLA BLA .PLS TAKE UR LETTER, ON THIS DATE TAKE UR LETER TO BLA BLA BLA,TAKE ALONG 1,250 NAIRA BLA BLA BLA.
I FELT LIKE SCREAMING YES!, YES! THANK U GOD AND FLYING AROUND..I JUST KEPT CALM, HUGGED MAY WIFE AND SAID THANK YOU TO THE CHAP.
That was it...AMERICA ,HERE WE COMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..
...to GOD BE THE GLORY.

@ Nesh422;you'll be ahead of the pack thus a pointer of what 2 expect will favor u.
I haven't hard of any disqualifications by KCC yet. I know the weeding is done by the embassy. So it is 90% obvious that you will get an interview date. Look at 2012 guys. All the 100,000 numbers are current in Jun and July. Meaning every one has a visa number. Ofcourse, by June the embassy already has a large number of people who were either denied DV visas or others who did not process their cases and therefore those visas are available for the next person (remember there are 50,000 visas meaning the remaining 50,000 people will either be denied, or cut off if visas are over or they will not pursue their cases). With your CN,the only thing applicable to you is the denial if your papers are not in order. But otherwise, you will get your 2nd NL either in August or September 2012.
As for calling IOM, some one stated that he did exactly that and IOM said it was ok. He did the medicals without the 2nd NL. But if you want to wait, it is also ok. Medicals are normally done one week or so before the interviews.
Good for you....
Ur in IT/Engineering?
Perhaps u should be our pastor given that u came up with the idea.I've been going thru the 9ja threads & those guys are really drilled @ their consulate!!!I'm yet to hear of Kenyans being asked to solve maths queries or English related queries
