Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!

Members some one help advise, IOM scheduled me and my family for only one day next week, isnt that not strange! i expected 2 days as a matter of procedure, isnt so!
those who have attended medicals come in, otherwise i have few days left.

Its all good..

10. Since the entire Health Assessment procedures take TWO days, usually half of each day, please make sure you are prepared for this requirement. Please follow the customer care assistant and counseling section advices for the second day date and time of reporting to the clinic.

Halo friends. Finally, am booked for my medical examination on Monday, 5th August 2013. I am a bit worried of the unknown. I call for your prayers. A small inquiry. When I was born, my district was known as Kisii North which later changed to Nyamira. My birth certificate indicates my District of birth as Nyamira while my Passport indicates my place of birth as Kisii North. The truth is Nyamira is Kisii North and Kisii North is Nyamira. is Is there any problem?

Enoo, haven't you posted this like a million times already? Lol, i actually laughed when i saw it this time. Am going to pretend that your computer or phone or whatever device you used to post is playing tricks on you.

smh..:rolleyes:

do we need 4 copies of passport photos or only 2 copies.
at IOM do we need to present 2x2 inch photos or kama kawaida
 
Makiki if u read abt those scars u will see that even pneumonia leaves them behind. The doctor said whatever it is its not even active but still.

All we want is a positive result it doesnt matter what brought the scars. It shall be well sister you have been here with us answering peoples' questions so i am looking for a YES
 
Halo friends. Finally, am booked for my medical examination on Monday, 5th August 2013. I am a bit worried of the unknown. I call for your prayers. A small inquiry. When I was born, my district was known as Kisii North which later changed to Nyamira. B]My birth certificate indicates my District of birth as Nyamira[/B] while my Passport indicates my place of birth as Kisii North. The truth is Nyamira is Kisii North and Kisii North is Nyamira. is Is there any problem?

enoo naki bono oyominto??? dont worry about places and towns changing names the embassy knows all these. it shall be well
 
For those that have already got to the US, how long does it take to clear the airport immigration? Once you get to the immigration officer, is it fairly straight forward in and out or does the clearing process take a bit of time?

It took as 3hrs to be cleared at Houston we infact missed our flight to Dallas Fort Worth we had to sleep at the Airport and got the 6am flight. Since people come in from different countries it takes a while so set your mind from 1hr to 3hrs depending on the Airport you land.
 
Makiki! I want to correct you on this issue of baby born after issuance of visa. My son was born after we had our interviews and prior to activating the visas. What you need to do here is few simple steps;
1. Immediately the baby is born, email the embassy with your details and the baby's birth certificate attached.
2. Apply for the baby's passport for travel.
3. Have baby's dv specs passport pictures.
4. Get a medical report from the hospital indicating baby's health and the vaccinations received.
Armed with all this the baby will receive the I-551 sticker at the point of entry but its should the baby's 2nd birthday.

Pls read the info below from the state gov. Search in the forum also there are many people explaining how they did it but I would urge you to follow what the embassy will tell you. It varies from country to country.

9 FAM 42.1 N1.1 Child Born After Issuance of Visa to
Parent
(CT:VISA-1829; 04-18-2012)
The child born after the issuance of a visa to a parent is not required to have a visa if the child is:
(1) Born subsequent to issuance of an IV to the accompanying parent within the validity of the parent’s immigrant visa; or
(2) Born during the permanent resident mother’s temporary visit abroad provided that (see 9 FAM 42.1 N2):
(a) Admission is within two years of birth; and
(b) Either accompanying parent is applying for readmission upon first return after the birth of the child.

Thank you for coming out well and explaining the real process. atleast the baby will need some kind of papers and not just go with her no matter how little. Thanks alot!!! I love these forum if one is not clear another one comes up with the most clear and reliable information. I wont be here in the US if it wasnt the likes of akina dubai-b brother you have really held our hands for a long time. Be blessed

We arrived at the embassy at 5.45am.Our interview was at 6.30am`.we went thru the first check then another check where we left our phones. At the main building we were given a number to wait and a dv form for the dv education qualification. Our interview took around 3minutes and was as below
CO: Raise your right hand and swear that the information in this forms and whatever you shall say is the whole truth.
WE: We do swear
CO: I want the main applicant to respond to these questions
CO: When did you finish your High School?

We were then given the forms to pay the green card fee and the green form containing details on how to create an account for the DHL .
All thru she was typing in her computer.My hubby is the main applicant n i was not asked any question.We were through by 9am

i am soooooooooooooooooo HAPPY BECAUSE you are coming here. Dont forget to check me out in McKinney i cant wait to see you. Congratulations to you and your family.
 
One more inquiry. From the previous interview experiences posted, I haven's seen anybody who was asked to present his/her birth certificate. Am I right?

Birth certificate is a MUST unless am WRONG i stand to be corrected

It is TRUE and a very bad NIGHTMARE that someone can just look at his 2NL and do nothing about this because he has no funds. I really feel for those of us who are victims of these.
