DV-2011 Winners from Kenya Report Here!

And this is from (dvlotteryhelp) If all the visas are exhausted for the regions then you will read it as CURRENT in the DV lottery section of the case numbers, so don't expect much for that region any more for that fiscal year program? Do you see what am seeing?

Done with the medicals, it costed us 67,500/= (about 20k for each adult and close to 28k for our kid). The medicals take two days. Olyn, if your daughter is between 2-15yrs book for the interview on a monday or wednesday-there are some tests for kids btwn this age that are read two days after the tests are done. I and hubby got three shots and our child 5 shots. Met with two other guys scheduled for interview on 13th and 21st of this month.
All the best to you all. I emailed the embassy and the exchange rate at the embassy is 80/=. Exchange rate at IOM is 85.49/=

Hi mamaizoo,

Sorry i took long to respond. The exchange rate is 80USD so dont worry. That is around 65,520/=. Just have faith and you shall get your visa too. May God be with you as you prepare to go there.

Hi magkin,
Glad to read from you. I have written a message on your inbox. Kindly check and reply. Hope that we shall meet when i come. Am shopping now for cheap air fare. Anyone with ideas??
 
@Magkin thanks for updates and please you people on the other side of the fence keep us informed.@Katimichi please give us more details because from your sentiments the other side is full of struggles and one better gets used to our Kenyan terrain.What exactly are the biggest hurdles on the other side? @mamaizoo continue reading the forum as you prepare as this is the place where all the answers are found.It is our revision page and a source of enlightenment.

AUGUST CUT OFF

Africa-71,800 except Ethiopia -32,400 Most of the others places current.
My predictions is that Africa will also be current in September and everybody else will be interviewed and of course very high number of qualification
Thanks God am also current in August. So @Scarnam@Nellimah and @ngugimuturi September is all yours and we will all make it with God. Seemingly this year things have moved so fast.
 
Hi Mamaizoo,

Thanks you for the update even me I have a boy of 2 yrs, my question is, do I scheduled the medical appointment on a Monday or Wednesday or do I change my embassy appointment on a Monday or Wednesday? Bcs is better to book the medical appointment without to change the embassy date of interview .
Regards

I was also checking for the tickets to Dallas, TX with few airlines.
So far the cheapest is Ethiopian. One way with IOM is $1000, which is also not bad.
One month return with Ethiopian is around $1250, though not sure about their service - never travelled with them.
Brussels - $1500.

Keep us also updated on the best deals you get.
 
For those who have been to the interview are the photocopies certified by the issuing authority or anybody can certify them including the local chief?
@Mamaizoo when is your D day? Our prayers.

Does the applicant and the beneficiaries (like your case, you/husband/kid) pay the visa fees each? Thanks for your information

try turkish airlines in october 2011 you could get it under $1k

I was in their office in International House in CBD last week.
They only fly to New York and one more city - if my memory isnt lying, it is Wawshington.

So far, Ethiopian is the cheapest.
Or maybe Egypt air, which I will never ever go again with.

Ngugi, the principal applicant and all his/her beneficiaries pay the $819 visa fee each regardless of age. For us it is $819 x 3 = $2457 x 80/= a total of Kshs. 196,560/= Our son is now 1yr 5 months. Same case applies to medical and i got to understand that for a child the medicals are even expensive as compared to an adult.

Elma, i did not mean that you change your interview date at the embassy, it should not be changed at all considering we are nearing the end of the fiscal year. The booking i meant was for the medicals for those with kids btwn 2-15yrs. You either make it a monday, wednesday or a friday but i would advise you to make it monday or wednesday. It is advisable you book for the medicals one week prior to your interview date at the embassy.

Wanjeri, i am not sure about this but i think the photocopies dont have to be certified. They will be having the originals and if they wont have a problem with the originals i dont see the reason why they would doubt the copies. My D-Day is last week of June.

Hi Kseniasat,

Ive just seen that you have used Egypt air, i wanted to ask you why you are saying you would not want to use it again? I was planning to use it because its the cheapest flight for now....Please advice me so that i may not be disappointed if i plan to use it..
