Oliseh, i appreciate ur concern. i have already sent the application for the police cert via the Kenyan High Com in New Delhi. do u think i can use someone at home to push the CID to hurry up in processing the cert? i'm contemplating sending someone at around 10th of August to CID Hq to go and do some follow up for them to increase their pace. i need that cert b4 the end of Aug. anyway i'll call KCC tomorrow to inquire about my interview date then book for medicals ASAP.

Hi Forumites, i e-mailed KCC some 4 days ago and they replied and informed me that my interview will be on 8th September in Mumbai. First of all i thank God for letting me be slotted for an interview. However, i mentioned that i wanted to do my interview at the US Consulate in Chennai, TN, south India since it's the nearest US consulate to where I'm residing. My question is that do u think they may change for me the venue of interview. I'm planning to e-mail them again on this matter. Do let me know what u have in ur mind that can help me.

Good to hear that you have finally gotten your interview date. You have to accept what you have now (interview date) because KCC will not change it for you. It's too late and KCC will not recall your file from Mumbai. You have to do it yourself and it will take about 3-4 months to get another interview date from Chennai by which time the fiscal year will have ended.
If you want to go ahead, I will show you the process of getting your file transferred from Mumbai to Chennai.

Congratulations for getting an interview date. Please don't try changing the place of interview just as anneck as adviced you. Spend extra cash and run to Mumbai and do the interview. I wish you success in your interview.
Thank you all for ur advice. i'll just have to do it there coz i can't wait for that long since my stay here in India is up to the end of September. Concerning the medicals i think i can take them from any prescribed center and not necessarily in Mumbai. There's a place in Chennai prescribed for doing it. what is ur view on this?

For medicals you can do it in any clinic which is listed by the US Government in the panel of Physicians within India. Yes do it in Mumbai. Im also doing mine in Kobe about 30 minutes by train from my house and my interview will be in Tokyo, 2 hours by plane.
Ok Oliseh, but i prefer to do it in Chennai itself coz it will be good to do it in advance before the interview date and carry the report to Mumbai. My going to Mumbai will be for the interview only and that will mean spending 2 days there n finish with the embassy guys. Let me get the 2nd NL then book for a date with the panel. they need it as a requirement for one to be eligible for medical tests.
Hello Wananchi,
Struggled abit to find my way here.Sasa mimi iko.
Thanks to all who contribute here,your experiences are so valuable.
Question: I booked a medical test by phone at IOM-Nairobi this week and was quoted sh.44,600 for me and my 10 year old who would be coming with me to U.S. I thought this figure is abit more than I expected.I wasnt asked about vaccinations or anything,just called to book,details taken and given this figure.Kwani What criteria do they use to determine what amount to pay?

Sheyo1, that figure is quite scarring, i feel u better call them back again and enquire about the vaccination issue. I'm just about to book my medicals and will have to inform them about my vaccination records just to water down the cost. The whole process of interview is somehow costly and we have to plan wisely. Anyway welcome to the forum

I think the figure is almost fine. They quoted for me the same amount for me and my wife. Seems we are having our interview on the same day. I will be doing mine in Tokyo.

Great! I was misled by your profile..wish you all the best. Judging from what i have gathered from the other bloggers,seems like packaging and presentation on interview day is crucial.

Hello,
I also need some clarification on this:
The new visa fee is USD 819. Does this mean I pay Usd 819 and my 10 yr old also pays Usd 819 ? Thanks

Yes, no discount for children, even a day old.
