went for my driving skills retest today and did it good. was a bit tricky as school buses kept stopping bang in the middle of the road without any warning at all. Beware about that as its very costly to be involved in any misdemeanor involving a school bus. The most interesting part came at...

So here we are again. Cards finally activated, my 2nd attempt to get a DL next. If you are travelling with young kids, Emirates will not disappoint you. Again if you are coming to MD, choose IAD- slow but friendly and hassle free.

Few insurers for Marylanders and I really hope thst in the unlikely need for medical attention, I hope they will be honourable not to try and vanish on us using the endless list of exclusion clauses. I hope they have a reputation going for them.

I have taken a short term travel/medical policy , 100k option to help my family activate the cards. https://www.visitorscoverage.com/visitor-insurance/atlasamerica/select-coverage/ here is the link the policy is from : Atlas America Administrator Company : HCC MIS Carrier / Underwriter ...

The ambassador, Mr Godec seems keen on doing a good job here. You (usamommy) will likely get his email from a contact at MOFA. My concern on turning out for a cancelled appointment id is that they might ask security to turn you away. Do email prior to that day as adviced above Very good advice

The blog on BritSimon about health insurance for green cardholders is quite good. I tried it but something interesting most insurers do not want to touch Maryland. Any ideas ? I need to take a short duration cover yesterday.

@Britsimon, KCC seems to always respond when you talk to them. Do you mind taking up this one? May be time you did a blog about the IOM medical station here.

Write something...hi. sad to see how your visa adventure is turning out. push it up for Kenyans on twitter?

This is not so much about the visas per see. Its about how she and her family have been treated. To be frank, it sets a new low in mistreatment by IOM. Note that I have not asked her to sue the embassy.To the extent that we know about this case, they are also wrong in cancelling. Here we talk of...

It Is a straightforward case- the husband ALONE would skip or get AP which at this time is a denial. Iom trashed the rights of this family. A lawsuit is a good posibility here The embassy disregarded the rules in cancelling the interviews even though the date is still ahead.

Honestly, this coming from an American (the global champion of justice) government arm of all places? Is it not about being arrested in advance because you will commit a crime some day in the distant future? So no more rules in there, only a good crystal bal! @usamommy2015 , do you want to...

Cancellation of visa interview- does this happen often especially when the op has not interviewed?

:(:eek: cancellation of the visa interview before the date has lapsed? in the event that you cannot attend fro whatever reson, the case remains in ready state. Something interesting here.

Ha Ha ha ha. I know. Here, "hustlers" are known to move in pricy, hired jets.It has not been used straight off the dictionary. As I said, in local context. Follow Kenyan politics a little.tragicomic economic consequences to the society aside, you will find humour in it.

In the contemplary political situation in Kenya, the term hustler has a humorous connotation. Laugh of my life too is from a popular hhumorous column in the Sunday Nation(google mwalimu Andrew in sunday nation weekly). I am only trying to take a financially demanding issue In my stride. Your...

No joke here, just a reality check about relocation. The cards will be activated meaning a compulsory short holiday. Too more travelling for young kids but its s sacrifice they must make. At the end of it all,they are the focus.

Update about our big move. A while ago I mentioned that I would finally go by end of this month. Now I find it a bit hard to fulfil this pledge. most compelling reason is that handing over my "hustling for a livelihood" needs much longer and even then, it will be running in a kind of partially...

I guess it could be that Kenyan voices that "matter" rarel need emigration related services.True it's after all a market driven business.

The Nairobi embassy visa section serves the region. The expatriate community around knows there are good, (way better than Iom) medical facilities where they frequent when in need of health care services. IOM charges market rate or thereabouts but gives you refugee-like handling- yes that's how...

W A very good idea.
