Guys my medical days are approaching i need information on the vaccines i can do berfore going to IOM to save some cash.the receptionist from IOM informed to go with ksh26,000 as the cost of medicals.

I would like also to know the currency to pay in the embassy,is it KSH or dollars?.



CN:2011AF00087***
1stNL Received: May 2010
Forms sent by FedEx: August 2010
Kcc confirms receipt: Confirmed
2nd NL: Sent July 20 2011
2nd NL: Not yet received
Police cert: 2nd week of August 2011
Medicals: 1st Sept 2011
Interview Confirmed: 8th Sept;):)
 
Wish you all the best nelimah2.
what I can advise you on, is that at this point do not do any vaccine on your own, then go say I did these and that
You might waste the money, then be made to repeat the same again.
The vaccine you need also depends on the previous vaccination records you have, i.e check at your upper arm if you have a mark etc.
Secondly do not fear about the price, for those having a date with IOM -Nairobi, the approx. cost is that kshs 26,000 you were told.
For those in mombasa, the cost is approx 18,000. All the three of us who have done our medicals in mombasa, we paid 18,000.
Payments at the Embassy is kshs.65,520 unless I have forgotten. I paid mine using Barclay Visa card, but I saw people paying in Kshs.
What I can advice you is - do not panic. theres' still time for preparation.
Do the medicals at least two weeks to the interview,make sure you apply for police certificate at least a month to the interview and put all your papers inorder.
Then pray and claim your Visa in the name of God.
-Mamaizoo, hope preparatios are going on well
I decided to visit AAA Kenya and see if I can get an international driving Licence.
In mombasa it cost Kshs.6,000 if you know how to drive. so I will do the exams next week thursday God willing.

Work Experience DV Interview

I would like to know someone's expreence at the interview who qualified based on work experience. Please post your experience if you have. I would like to have an idea of what kind of questions they ask.
 
Khati qualifying through work experience is very tricky.Infact most of the people going thro' the dv process use high school diploma to qualify.
People who qualify thro' work exp. have to be working in jobs whereby they will not need any further training so as to be able to work in U.S.For example doctors and other medics trained outside the U.S cant practise in the U.s until they are certified by the relevant bodies/association.Try checking the online list of qualifying occupations on travel state gov website.but l would advice you to use qualification by education rather than work experience.
You can give us specific/detailed info so that we give you detailf answers about your work experience.

Dear fikalab,

Congratulations to you and your wife for your successful pursuit and attainment of your Visas. To GOD be the Glory.

I just have a quick question though, your case number seems to be low (30,000) & I'm wondering why they called your interview in late July? Did you reschedule your interview date or did they give you a later interview date because you submitted your Forms late to KCC.

If you are aware why, please let me know. Otherwise no worries Bro.

Also do you mind describing how the interview proccess went, particularly when you and your wife met the CO?

Thanks in advance and once again Big Congrats for your success.

GOD BLESS.

Well after a long agonising 4 month AP the embassy finally called me in for my case result.I went in today. We were like 50 on Ap for varying reasons and durations.By Gods grace the CO says things checked out and gave the green slip to pick the visa on monday.
Most of the guy- almost all got the visa pick up slip. Pray for me as a I await visa pick up by Gods grace.
