Update: Just checking how everyone from the 2013 class is doing. Just had a thought to check back on the list to see if its still being used. Hopefully you've all got settled, but if anyone needs a lead on professional jobs, send a message to my inbox, I have some information you might be...

If you don't have a credit/debit card and your host won't use his/her card, you can still travel to the US and when you get here, open a US bank account then make the payment for yourself. It is recommended that you make the payment before you travel, but if you haven't paid, that doesn't stop...

Hi enoo, you can go ahead and do you driving test as soon as you are ready. For Virginia, all they needed at the DMV was 2 forms of government issued ID, so soon as I had my GC, I took that with my UG passport as my 2 forms of ID. Once you have your State DL, then you no longer need your...

Next step is plan to get your air tickets and also make arrangements to pay your USCIS fee online. You can pay the fee after travel, but processing of your Green Card will not start until you have paid, so it is best you pay even before you travel, so that your card will come through pretty soon...

Green cards arrived today, 3 weeks after arrival in the country. All going well so far.

I also had to send the documents back to correct an error. There is a number on the csc site that you can call and actually speak to someone, explain the situation and he/she will be able to create the new delivery details for you.

You have no access to those documents, there is already a courier service to get them from IOM to the embassy.

The embassy is only interested in Country of Birth, but if place of birth is required, indicate what is in the passport, because that is the main reference document they will use.

AAU is on Yusuf Lule (Kitante Road), somewhere opposite the Golf Course Hotel.

Settling in Sorry for the delayed feedback, was just trying to get my bearings. I got here last Thursday and the main focus has been trying to get my daughter in school. Hopefully she should get in 2moro, then I'll have time to go on the job hunt. But for those just preparing to travel, here...

I posted some advise on this earlier on this forum. For those of you from Uganda, please go to the Immigration Department at Port Bell (Luzira) and apply for a temporary travel permit, this will allow you to travel back and forth while your passport is with the embassy. You have 2 options; 1...

Thanks. I arrive in DC with no further connections, but my sis will meet me at the airport, so just wanted to let her know when to pick me up, so she doesn't have to wait too long for me to come out.

You are supposed to attend the interview with 2x2 photos that are not more than 6 months old. Esp with babies whose facial features are constantly changing as they grow, I would suggest that you go with pics that are as recent as possible, maybe like from a week before the medical/interview. So...

Regarding your place of birth, at the embassy they are only interested in the Country of Birth, so it really won't matter which part of Kenya you where born in. So you can relax.
