Seemingly there are alot of changes which needs to be shared with other members of the forum since last year the Fee was double that and affidavit of support and ownership of assets was not an issue . Those who have knowledge of the same should enlighten members of the forum so that they are well prepared for the interview.
Embassy notice for my interview says fees are $ 440 and looks like affidavit of support / own assets /funds is required as it is listed as a requirement

Fees have been reduced since Feb. The requirements are embassy specific i assume since many have not received this. I am taking the interview in the middle east maybe that's why.
all requirements are as per the Dv selectee guidelines and the second NL, the others have been discussed in great detail on this Forum.
the only additional thing i can mention is that the passport validity at the time of interview SHOULD be for more then six months to obtain the visa.
Hi
I suspect the requirement are case to case bases on specific embassies. like the case of Photos, some are asking 3photos and some 2photos so we cannot say its general requirement for all excerpt the usual documents(passports,birth certs,marriage certs,edu certs,etc)
The thing is no matter what they ask i believe we are winners and they just want to confirm what you wrote the forms.

Very true. What I would like to add is take as many documents as you can. Organize an original set and a Copy separately of each of you. One never knows what strange paper maybe requested.
I think the forum is not very active since most information needed is already available and people are preparing what we expect is mostly the interview experiences which are pretty standard as we see.
The forum is for us a place we visit regularly to feel comfort and reduce our anxiety as the days towards the finale approach. All the best, if God wills it for us AND we follow the right part honestly and truthfully we will get what we deserve.

I still feel that $440 is better than what guys paid last year in the tune of $816 per person although our prayers is that the lower it goes the better as it gives many people an opportunity without straining so much. So $330 if it happens will be a very good offer
Hi
Definitely this is a step worth celebrating about and very good news to us all who are current after april 13. The older members, we are greatful for you guys. we are all blessed and ready for interviews.

Need clarification about the required dox
Hi folks!
could some one who has been for the interviews in Nairobi please help and tell me whether if one has a degree/degrees that they still have to carry secondary school certificates for the interview? Also, would certified copies pass?
Many thanks in advance

KCSE is a must because that is the DVS qualifying academic level. But one should carry all the others not for presentation, it is just in case. It also gives you confidence to know that you are well equiped with all the necessary documents.Infact at the counter where they verify the documments they will ask the KCSE not the others
Travel Arrangements!
Folks I hope you're all ok. I'm planning to travel to Connecticut in the next month or so, though that's not the address I processed with. For those who've gone through the process kindly give me a heads up on what to look out for, stuff like the cheapest and reliable airline, what to carry, procedures at the P.O.E etc etc...I'' really appreciate. thanks.

My friend it is good to see that you are ready to put things in gear. For cheap flights l believe the old folks from this thread will be of help. About the point of entry, very simple. Coming to Connecticut means you will surely be using JFK. No big deal, make sure u do not forget your brown envelope. Upon arrival, join the visitors queue till it gets to your turn. Your passport, visa and brown envelope will be checked, biometric fingerprints will be taken and a digital picture of you. You can expect a question like why do you come to America? You then procede to another section where your brown envelope will be taken and you also do ink fingerprinting. You can request for a change of address at this section. You then go for your luggages and exit your P.O.E. Just pray against long queue.
