Visa bulletins, october and november 2010
Hi All!
So for those of you who may have missed the October 2010 visa bulletin, I have summarized it below and I have also posted the November 2010 bulletin. I have only bothered to post the Africa bit. Good luck to those who are current.
October 2010
AFRICA: 9,000
Except: Egypt 5,550, Ethiopia 7,450, Nigeria 7,450
November 2010
AFRICA: 12,000
Except: Egypt 9,300, Ethiopia 11,000, Nigeria 10,000
By the way, this seems to be much lower than the cut-off for Africa last November which was 14,000 though Nigeria numbers seem to have improved. Mmmh, I wonder what's the deal. Things might be slower in the rest of Africa than anticipated.

How have you been?
We still have something that you and I were discussing about.
Now that my Visa has been issued, I have all the time on earth and we can do the discussion. I will mail my lawyer friend for more advice.
Cheers
Fredjully,
You are welcome on the Kenyan forum. The cut off number e.g Africa 12,000, means that if you look at the last 5 digits of your case number and they fall below the cut-off number (12,000), you can email Kentucky consular centre and ask them when your interview is booked for if you have not got your 2nd NL. This is because in the month in which you will be current i.e the month in which your number falls below the cut-off, you should have been booked for an interview at the embassy and should present yourself with the necessary documentation.
Take for example if my case number was 2011AF00011654, looking at the October bulletin, the cut-off would have been 9,000. Because my number would not have fallen below 9,000 I would not have had the interview in the month of October. In the month of November though, the cut-off is 12,000 and my number falls below this (11654). This would mean that I would expect my interview then i.e I would be current in November.
Hope this explains it.
So hope you're right. Was preparing for December but can't wait to see next months bulletin, seems I may end up Jan-Feb. Not too bad still. By the way we're still awaiting the full report on your interview.....
Nice to see you're back, still crossing our fingers for one of us on the forum to become current so we can see how 2011 goes.

Fellow Kenyans, anyone recieved the 2NL.
Interviews are on, so the waiting begins,
but just as Bennite said' happy are them who waits upon the Lord!
One can wait yes, but how do one confirms that her/his documents were accepted.
I send an inquiry to that effect to KCC, and the reply was' Your doc. have been received
and are awaiting process.Does that means that the doc have been checked.
Please fellow kenyans lets communicate!!!!!

Your forms have been received and are waiting to processed means, KCC has seen/acknowledged your forms, but has not yet started working on them. Peace! Benniit
Hi Olyn,
Your forms take about 8-12 weeks to complete processing. I sent my forms to kcc in june 24 and currently they have completed processing according to an e mail from kcc I got last Tuesday (september 14.) When did you receive the response from kcc that states your forms are waiting to be processed? If a few weeks have passed from that e mail, I think you can write them again and hear your status. Most probably your forms have completed processing. Forms are processed in the order they are received. Therefore, the fact that your case number is a bit high, doesn't preclude your forms from being processed. Good luck.
