Interview Experience For Sebulonde in Nairobi Embassy...........Congrats
I and my husband traveled to Nairobi on the 19th June thou the interview was on the 24th June. We had to do the medicals before the interview. We completed the medicals on the 20th, it took us the whole day. The results were ready for collection the next day. We prayed that we passed the medicals. The lady who briefed us before the meds told us they if they find anything wrong with ya, one is can be put on hold till they are cured. I got so scared!
We collected the reports on the 21st (Friday) and we were just praising God. On Sun, we booked a cab to pick us on Monday at 5am. On Monday we were already on our way around 5:15am. We actually arrived at the embassy around 5:30am. We found 3 people there and as we were getting out of the car, another couple arrived. The gates were opened around 6:30am or minutes to 7am. We went thru the security check, presenting the appointment letters all the way.
Inside the embassy we were the first immigration Visa applicants to arrive. I know this because we were separated in the ques. At around 8, we were around 7 applicants. We were called to window 4 to hand in the papers. They checked all our papers and gave us an invoice to pay $775*2. We paid and brought the receipt to her. We were asked to wait from the waiting area outside and wait to be called. The non- migrate visa applicants were more than 100 and we seemed to have mixed up at this time. We were called to window 5 after 40 mins to have our figure prints to be taken. After this execrise, we went back out and waited.
We were called at window 10 after 10mins.
Co. Goodmorning
Us. Good morning Sir
Co. I need you to swear that whatever you are going to say is nothing but the truth.
Me. I nodded and said I swear and so Did my husband
Co. Sign here.
Me. I did and the same was done for my husband.
Co. This is the initial application and you didn't mention that you were married. Why?
Me. I was not married then but by the time I got ma notification letter, I was married and i informed the KCC about it.
Co. When did you get married again?
Me. 20th Feb ****
Co. Good. Oh! Can I see your pics.
Me. The DVD was confiscated during security checks. ( They told us that, they don't allow any data storage devices inside)
Co. Security, come to window 10. The gentleman came and we gave him the card that they had given us for the DVD pick up. He was back after 5 mins and we went back to window 10. ( They had asked us to sit while we wait.) But during this time, I witnessed, one acceptance for Immigration and 2 denials for non- immigration visas.
At the window, the consular gave back all the original documents apart from the police certificates and gave us a blue form (administrative processing).
Co. I will make my decision wen I have seen your pics later. Please come tomorrow at 1pm.
Me. Fine. That is ok. We will see you tomorrow. I was praying inside.
It took us 2 hours for the whole process to be thru. The actual interview less 10 mins plus waiting for security to bring the DVD.
The next day were called to window 6 by a lady and she gave us the yellow pick up slip. No further qns were asked.
Co. When are you leaving Nairobi?
Me. We wanted to leave today. We have been here for almost a week.
Co. We try so much to issue non-residents (non- Kenyans) visas as fast as we can but we can only do it in a week's time. Is June 1st ok with you?
Me. It's fine ma'am. ( in ma heart; Are you kidding me? Any day is cool) We shall travel back then.
Co. Ok then, I will see you then at 3pm.
Me. Thank you. Bye
We were on cloud 9. Called our parents back home and we praised God all thru the journey back to Uganda.
NB: The interview started before I even knew it. I thout that we could be called into a room with the Co. not at the window when even one is watching and listening. It was smooth and interviewers were great people. The waiting area is so small. On the second day, we were about 30 people who came back with the blue forms. 15 were called back to window 4( this is where we handed them in at first) and they were given back their blue forms. I can't tell why. All the other people called before us were given the yellow slips for pick up.
congratulations trixsam. Glad it all went well. Sounds pretty close to my own experience (in the uk not nairobi).
Seen a few replies about the absence of east africans on east african-specific threads as compared to nigerians and ghanians - i dont know why, but maybe its becoz very few east africans generally know about this forum at all and what a great resource it can be. But as has been mentioned before, the nigerian and ghanian threads also offer up alot of general information that applies to all that is priceless to know. I used them alot too.
wendog that was sebulonde expirience but not mine.......good to know you are tracking this info right here coz its important for som1 scheduled for an interview nway all the best....you also need to edit your signauture.........so that you keep us informed of your status
best of luck all.
While waiting for your interview date, check and cross-check all your documents.

Hi guys, is it compulsory that KCCDV need to contact one after sending the documents back to them to confirm receipt? i sent mine and had to contact them to verify whether they received them in which i got an affirmative response. another query is that should i prepare documents like medical and police report even before i get any intimation from KCC concerning the interview date? I'm asking coz for the former i cant afford to do it before I'm sure i'll attend the interview since i have to cough out some bucks for that. I kindly need some explanations about these issues. anyone pliz help me
Hi Trixsam, thanks for ur reply. i'm glad that u got my point. concerning going for interview will I be treated as an Asian or my case is treated as that of a Kenyan in Asia? i think someone's number i.e AF... is what determines when he/she will head for interview? which police office can I contact in Kenya in order to get the cert? my district police or police headquaters in Nai? you have said that i may go for the interview in Sept as u have checked the bulletin for August, suppose if i change my address and come and do it in Nai do u think it may be a bit earlier than september? the last quiz, is it possible for the interview to be done after September 30th? coz that's the date when everything is winded up by KCC. just want to know these coz I may come to kenya by mid September by God's will. hoping to hear from u

Hi Trixsam, thanks for ur reply. i'm glad that u got my point. concerning going for interview will I be treated as an Asian or my case is treated as that of a Kenyan in Asia?
Your case will be treated as an African (Kenyan) having his interview in India.
i think someone's number i.e AF... is what determines when he/she will head for interview?
Your CN suggest you qualified from the African region and as such your interview date will be based on when that CN becomes current in the Africa region.
which police office can I contact in Kenya in order to get the cert? my district police or police headquaters in Nai?
Check below for details
you have said that i may go for the interview in Sept as u have checked the bulletin for August, suppose if i change my address and come and do it in Nai do u think it may be a bit earlier than september?
No, you can't have your interview before the month in which your CN becomes current. It doesn't matter which country you want to have your interview - the interview cannot be held before the month in which your CN will become current.
the last quiz, is it possible for the interview to be done after September 30th? coz that's the date when everything is winded up by KCC. just want to know these coz I may come to kenya by mid September by God's will. hoping to hear from u.
No interview can be conducted for dv 2010 winners after September 30. If you want to change your interview location, you have to act fast and do it now before you become current, otherwise it will be too late for you, and don't forget you can't have the interview after September 30.

Thumbs up for Ammeck for ur clear explanation, but i still have more questions. U have xplained how a foreigner residing in Kenya can acquire the cert in Nai. in my case where I'm away from home how can i do it coz i cant come home to look for that cert. do u know of any other way i can process it? i need to start now coz july isn't far. when returning my forms to KCC, in the part marked Petitioner i was advised to write as N/A 'Not applicable' since i'm a Dv lottery winner and there was no need for a petitioner in my case. do u think I answered that part correctly? do i need an affidavit of support in my case?
