Hey lil'angel,
if you fulfil their minima, that is enough. no need to worry for the rest, if their is any advantage with academic qualifications, with no doubt they will consider ur higest academic status. therefore, writing all ur qualification could be more advantageous, if any.

Hey y'all.
I am also a Kenyan selectee.Got my package quite late (early July) coz I waited till I checked online if I had won, I had no idea that my NL was lying in the mail. Filled in my forms and sent them on 15th July by regular mail, was not sure about using express mail. Still awaiting KCC confirmation but sent them an email inquiry.I'm a total newbie at this, so kindly lets all share our experiences in Kenya so all can benefit.
So, has anyone in Kenya got their second NL yet?

Both are used. Visa Bulletin usually gives prediction for 2 months in advance.
(B) is for July
(C) is for August.
I guess this was posted in June, it showed the cut off numbers which could interviewed in July and August respectively.
In regards to this, we are now in August thus (B) and (C) should read
(B)For September, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2010 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number:
Region All DV Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed Separately
(C)ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN OCTOBER
For October, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2011 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number:

welcome njugus,did same thing as you.waited till july 1 only to realise my nl1 was gathering dust in the post. been following the guys in ghana and kenya threads, quite forming.
Congrats Njugush for being selected about you using regular mail n problem as lomg as it gets delivered which you have to be confirming now and then since i know it will tek sometym....nwy keep sending emails to KCC and wait for their response......its very important to confirm if they reached kwanza if its regular mail.....meanwhile stay put by reading previous threadz just as oliseh has mentioned to you
of medical, police certs and sponsorship forms
Thanks all for the encouragement, especially trixsam and oliseh. Been reading the Ghana and Naija forums, quite informative.
Finally got tired of waiting for KCC to confirm receipt of my forms, sent them an email inquiry. Silence for 3 days so when Safcom announced the 50% airtime bonus
I decided to call and find out if the forms arrived. They told me they had arrived and were awaiting processing, and I call them 2 months from now. (sigh of relief that the post office works!)
Now, I have some Kenyan-specific questions, especially for those who were 2010 entrants, akina trixsam and oliseh.
1. How much did medicals cost, how long before results are out, and most important, for how long are they valid?
2. How long is a certificate of good conduct valid for? Have one from April 2010, seeing as I expect to be current November 2010-February 2011, should I get another one?
3. The affidavit of support: do I still show that I have money despite the affidavit? If so, how much? And if I decide not to use an affidavit of support, how much chums do I have to show?
4. Do I choose my point of entry or is it arbitrarily assigned?
Pole bout the 1000 questions but I'd like to know what lies ahead ndio nijipange.

Njugunuts
for your quiz, i would give the following answers.
1. How much did medicals cost, how long before results are out, and most important, for how long are they valid?
The medical cost varies from clinic to clinic. Please call the clinics that are in the recommended lists of physicians given by the US Govt. I didn't do my medicals in Nairobi because my CP will be in Tokyo. However I think you should be fine doing medicals with Ksh 20,000. The medical report is valid for 1 year from the time to examination to the interview date.
Trixsam will give advice you on the best place to do the medicals.
2. How long is a certificate of good conduct valid for? Have one from April 2010, seeing as I expect to be current November 2010-February 2011, should I get another one?
I suggest that you have a police certificate that is not more than 6 months old. In some countries they need a police certificate that is less than 3 months. if I were you and currently live in kenya, I would go for the certificate when my case becomes current because the CID usually takes 14 days to issue it. However if you are outside kenya, start looking for it ASAP because sometimes it takes more than 1 month to get. Bear in mind that you will have to get police clearance from all countries that you have lived in more than since month if at the time that you resided in those countries you were 16 years or older.
3The affidavit of support: do I still show that I have money despite the affidavit? If so, how much? And if I decide not to use an affidavit of support, how much chums do I have to show?
If you have sufficient money in your account you dont need and affidavit of support. However you can still produce both affidavit of support plus your bank statement.
4. Do I choose my point of entry or is it arbitrarily assigned?
the place that you gave in DS-230 will certainly be your point of entry. if incase you want to change the point of entry you can still do it by sending an email to KCC.
Sorry for the quick reply, let me sign out coz my sweetheart is on my neck she wants me to take her out for dinner.

Hi Ngugi, from the study of the past bulletin , how do you tell the DV2011 will go faster.?
It was my first time to enter and I actually won, so I rely on the guess from you people.
I hope it does move faster.
Myself I cannot guess even when Iam likely tobe current.
I wish all the winners princessann, my2011, li'lagel, Benniit, and others good luck.
