Welcome @Biti. I advice you to read all pages of this thread so that you may have clear insight about the process. I found it very helpful.
@ZGREAT answered your question well.
In additional, we can roughly estimate the interview date if you share us the case number (by hiding the last three digits) and date of DS260 submission.

I think they have already received 2nl and appointed for mid January .

you are right @usken go. But you can teach people not to exercise their belief as long as it abuses others right.

It was a simple discussion about the advice successful dv applicants get from the embassies. Mentioning that we have almost America-like gender equality rights in Kenya, we somehow found ourselves talking about the dress code, morality, our exposure to various cultures etc.
America remains a place where individual rights are very well protected- the scantily dressed, the ultra religious and so on.
My point - you get to choose the your company, community in accordance to the life you prefer to lead.

Don't worry @q boss. Just be sure of two things
1. Your birth certificate is in the long form.
2. Be sure that you authenticate birth and marriage(if any) certificates at 'kifleketema' first then at Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (such documents needed to be authenticated, you can call it renewal, if they are more than 6months old).
I think your card is obtained long time ago. So you should go "sheger" branch of municipality for primary authentication. Then to MoF.

Birth Certificates are done now at Kebele level and it is only 2 years it is valid. You need to go there and put a stamp with signature again after 2 years. The guy's certificate was 4 years old.

I read somewhere that the safest amount will be not more than 10000 $ If you carry more you will be asked from where you get it ; for example you have to show them a bank receipt or some other document ,

@GodisGreat , yes authentication of birth certificate and marriage certificate at ' keleketam' not' kebele ' alone has validity period until u certified with MoAf, but once it is authenticated by the MoAf, the authentication is life time, imagine the authenticated document u take with u abroad does it mean u need to get back to ur home land to renew again ? nooooooo, once it is done with Ministry of foreign affair the authenticated document is life time.
the same is tru for education documents
by the way for the marriage certificate authentication is like this :
those who got married before 2000 e.c ( 2007 g.c) the place for authentication is 'sheger menafesha' then MoFa
but those who got married after 2000e.c (2007 g.c) they can authenticate their document at near by kefleketma then MoFa.
@God-Is-Love and @ZGREAT please comment on this .

True. some people have never visited. Others travel the world freely so culture shock may or may not be widespread. Bottom line- you cannot change a what one believes in simply because they have come to your country.

Agree you often can't change what someone believes, especially if it is a faith-based rather than rational belief, but it is very clear that over time that beliefs can and do change when people move to different societies . And that is why those who come from - for example - African heritage in a part of Africa where it is still illegal to be homosexual can celebrate that pretty soon gay marriage will be legal in every state in the US, or those with heritage from other parts of the world will be happy to now be somewhere women do not get stoned for adultery because they have been raped.

One thing you do have to realise however, is that when you choose to move to a different country, you need to be prepared to adapt to and accept new or different ways of doing things.
