Thanks a bunch for the warm welcome.
Actually my sister helped me to get the police certificate in Kenya. It took about 14 days to get it.
She went to the CID Headquaters in Kiambu and stated my case that i wasn't able to travel for the certificate myself. The police then gave her some forms for taking finger prints. The asked if I can take it to local police station here in Osaka or to Kenyan Embassy to help take the finger prints. Unfortunately both the Embassy and the Police here declined since the Japanese law only does not allow taking of finger prints apart from the airport or when one is caught in criminal act. I explained my sister the situation and the CID boss accepted that I can take finger prints by myself and send it to them. I asked a friend who helped me in the exercise then send the forms to my siz. She took them to CID HQ and in 14 days she had the cert.
I think they were able to help her because she is also a Government official.
If you have a relative in nai at home who is a govt officical then it will eb very fast. Just send your National ID and they will give him/her the forms. If the police is India can help with the finger prints then it would be good.
By the way I think it cost around ksh 1000 or 2000. I can't remember well.
Cheers

Hi guys
. I have one quiz though about family name. I have a small mistake in my passport and my secondary certificate.
My family name is Nyong'o.
In my passport its written Nyongo
I school cert its written Nyong'o
In the forms I sent back to kentucky I wrote Nyongo (same as passport).
Can this jeopardize my chance?if so, what action can I take before I become current?
Any advice?

Hi Oliseh,
Please check the bolded part and compare with the requirements that I found at department of state website on reciprocity requirements for Kenya. The relevant part is as below:
Fingerprints should be taken by a local police official and bear an official stamp, or be taken before an attorney and certified. The official should also verify the identity of the individual being fingerprinted by noting the details of the identification document.
From the above, I believe that your friend is ineligible to assist you to take the fingerprints unless he is an attorney and assisted you in that capacity. Otherwise, my friend, I'll advise that you look for a qualified attorney who will take and certify the fingerprint as well as taking details of your id e.g. passport. Then contact your sis to get you a new Police Certificate with this new set of fingerprint. The issue is that Kenyan Police do accept fingerprints from you regardless of how you got it. However based on the requirement, will the US embassy in Tokyo accept such fingerprints? You do not want any administrative process judging from your September interview. Therefore talk to an attorney and get the proper fingerprint, it will cost you some extra bucks but it will be worth it.
i think the police and the embassy will accept. i had friend from ghana (dv 2009) who did the same . he took his prints and sent to ghana police and they helped. remember that at the back of your ID they have your thumb print and also when applying for kenyan national ID they take all your finger prints.thats why police dont accept kenyan passport when applying for the certificate of police. they usually insist on national ID.

HI,
That is fine by me. All this is to ensure that no consular officer takes a decision that will jeopardise a situation based on avoidable events. Anyway lets see if other forumites may bring their knowledge and experience to bear on this issue. Good luck.
Hi guys, i contacted the Kenyan high com in Delhi and the official there told me to get the form for taking fingerprints from my local police( since they don't have such forms) and then let them take my fingerprints then send the document to them for them to send them to CID HQ in Nai. I tried to tell him that the form is to be acquired from the CID Hq only but he stuck to his word which forced me to comply with his statement. I'll be going to the SP's office tomorrow to hear their side of the story. i hope they will cooperate. @Oliseh what are some of the issues those guys (wakubwa) may come up with that might make acquiring the cert an long process? explain pliz
