I wish everyone all the best. It shall be well. Thanks for your support.

@Sm1smom i agree let's move on.

The reason i came back here is to help others avoid the problem. We hadn't done this before therefore we didn't have adequate info. But now you can be sure the areas to be watchful for.

That's clear now but wasn't clear then. Remember we thought we were dealing with the 2012 application.

The kid was born in 2013 that was the blunder. The CO said i omitted the kid but the agent filled the form in our absence. Had we known before he applied then we would have added the child then.

@podolski88 thanks for your observation but this story is simple. We only made one application with this agent. We met him in person as a family. We filled the application with him, proof read the application, then he took our photos with our kids and posted them online as we watched. He posted...

@aiguo we entered one application with him in 2012 which we totally forgot about and moved on. Since it was our first application we didn't know much about the lottery details. He applied again in 2013 using 2012 info (copy pasted) but didn't inform us. By 2013 a lot of facts had changed which...

For us our error was naivety in trusting our relatives who recommended this guy. And unfortunately it was our first time to apply the lottery. We didn't think he wasn't legitimate because he had helped other people before. The red flag came after we went to confirm our winning that we met people...

@Ms. Dada thanks. They won't stamp anything on the passport upon denial, they just give a red sheet with reasons for denial, they'll check the relevant to you. As for the agent we called him and explained to him the consequences of what he did. We also asked him to never apply again for us.

@gitma thanks I won't give up. I'll help others so they don't fall in this category. And yes we'll keep applying. There's always hope as long as one has breath and trusts in God.

@peterbingi what I meant by 'details' is things that aren't obvious but can mess you. These could be facts you've forgotten about or anything that's hard to explain in your documents. Go through your DS260 forms severally because you could be surprised to find a missing fact. Also compare your...

Please note: In case you find yourself in scenario where you don't recall a certain fact you're better off saying you don't recall rather than guessing or lying. The CO generally types what you're saying and in case you're denied you don't want those remarks to be lies or misrepresentation just...

@gitma thanks for the encouragement. You can predict in advance what's coming if you remain keen. Pay close attention to the CO's body language. At the window where they verify your documents they'll check if you're eligible for the visa as per the first application you made. So in case there's...

When filling the DS 260 we added the new child since he was born after the application. But unfortunately the application the agent made in our absence was the same year as the year the child was born which we only found out at the Embassy. It's only after checking our documents later with the...

@peterbingi thanks. Yes it was a cyber agent who came highly recommended. What happened is when the agent applied for us again without telling us he messed us up because by the time we found out we had won we thought it was an earlier application (pardon our ignorance). What the agent didn't...

And by the way in the event you're denied for any other reasons and you're certain you can work around it, go ahead and email your request immediately for review to ImmigrationVisaNairobi@state.gov Usually they review all denials to determine whether the law allows for reprise. You can also...

Even the CO had a challenge denying us because everything else was alright. This is a painful lesson learned....we only used the agent once but he continued using our info without our knowledge. In fact when we called him yesterday he wasn't remorseful. Please remember the devil lies in the...

All I can say is that, as you get to the finish line check and counter check every single detail in your documents particularly the initial application. Especially if you have ever used an agent previously / at any point: make sure none of them (agents) have ever made an application for you...

Greetings everyone. The bad news is my visa was denied... Very painful but gotta pull myself together and keep going. I haven't given up hope...someday it shall surely come to pass

@kakjose I'm doing well and i don't mind answering any of your queries..
