What a great Day it has been! God is the Best
INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE.
OUTCOME: VISA GRANTED
Slept for only few hour, The urge to go face the CO keeps your mind awake almost the entire night. Set like 3 alarms just to be on the safe side. Got to the Embassy quarter to 6, found like 20+ other people waiting to be ushered in.
At around 6 O'clock, The gate to the Embassy was opened, here yu make 2 lines, male n females. If you are Pregnant or have a kid below 5yrs, you go infront. After the first check you proceed to the next checkpoint where now you line up in 2 lines IV and NIV. Here the IV were being ushered first contrary to those other times where NIV go first. You give your NL and PP, That lady looks your nem on a certain kasheet then ticks your name.
From there you sit or stand on the right flowing the line.
A group of 5-5 proceed inside the room accordingly, here you give all electronic gadgets, anything metallic... Then 2/3 steps forward you get scanned again. Your gadgets phones, xray CD are kept in a kasmall box and you are given a kaplasic card kinda those of supa but this omce are small. Keys, coins are returned to you.
From there proceed to the Embassy now, Once there , get in give your PP n NL, then you get a Number which they'll use to call you for the rest of the Interview. Then go sit out side....Nothing more to add about the cold out there! Dress appropriately!!
After few Mins/hrs. your No, go in produce your docs here you are given a ka green sheet to go pay at the end of the counter...after paying, return the receipt to the person who took your docs then move out n wait again.
Few more min/hrs out there your No flashes on a kascreen out there, You get in again to the specified counter and you fingerprints are taken. From there you can sit in the room or go out and wait. I was prefering sitting out in the cold because we had a kamkuji which kept all of us busy joking and laugh out loud out there. I guess it helped ease the anxiety alot.
Almost all the guys who were out there got their visas, only one didn't and it's because he hadn't come forward with G-cdct.
Finally my No came out and I was at the washrooms, so came fast upto window 9.
The CO, Black-American very niiiice Lady... lol
So after saying hello n swearing...
CO: Whats your name
ME: Jorj
CO: When did you sit for KCSE
ME: 20..
CO: What are you doing now?
ME: blah blah
CO: Whose your host
ME: My Aunt n Uncle
CO: Which state
ME: Calif...
CO: I'm going to approve your visa Jorj so you live permanently in US Congratulations. I'm giving back your original kcse cert plus birth cert then goes ahead to Explains about dhl n USCIS fee.
ME: kibig Thaaaank you.
After there, go give the supa card back and pick your belongings. Switchd on the phone and got 10 voicemail messages....
Thanks be to God, may he keep on blessing all of us. Thanks everyone for your continued support in everythin. Thank you guys, all the best in your Future endeavours. ;-)
Any typos, left out info may I be pardoned

@pasaris your number is a good one, you can go to google type visa bulletin and just check previous case number cut offs to see roughly where you shall fall in but I suspect yours will be thereabouts of next year maybes april or march?but cant be sure so i strongly suggest do a rough comparison by going through previous visa bulletins
