SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE AT AMERICAN EMBASSY NAIROBI ON 1ST NOV 2013 AT 6:30AM
My wife and I arrived at the embassy at around 5:50am and we joined around 8 other people waiting outside the American Embassy.at around 6:10am we were allowed to get in the embassy and that meant getting to the second security clearance where they checked our names on the appointment list and also this is the point where you leave your electronic gadgets,I remember my wife being told to give her nail-cutter and hear-phones.We left our phones at this point and proceeded to the main building where the actual interview was to take place.
We were taken finger prints and for the DV applicants were given papers saying that to qualify one had to have a cplain and above or a c+ if one was to qualifywith degree.
We paid the money to the cashier and while waiting for our numbers to be called for the 3rd time so as to go and face the interviewer or the dreaded CO we met a lady who was single and also a winner.She told me that she reads the comments in the thread but has never joined the dv2013 kenyan winners thread,Shetold me of her cousin who had entered as single,applied for visa as married,now herinterview is next week and she broke up with the boyfriend and they don’t talk so the lady is talking of getting a death cert for the guy.!!by the way the gal passed as she was interviewed immediately after us.We saw 2 people who were denied and 2 who were put in administrative processes.
If one is given a red sheet of paper it means one has been denied, if one has been given yellow it means one has been put on administrative process, if one gets the green one it means their case has been approved .I didn’t know of anybody from greencard who was denied,SO GUYS BE SURE THAT ALL WILL BE WELL.AS WANKIN MASTER SAID BELIEVE ME YOU ALL HAVE VISAS ITS JUST YOUR TIME THAT IS NOT READY.
I was not asked for my album and my main worry was the fact that I didn’t have my photos for traditional wedding,dowry payment time or even introduction ceremony.we were interviewed by a middle-aged American man and he was not smiling but he looked as if not so interested in what you were saying but guys the CO is as sober as a judge.HERES THE MAIN INTERVIEW GUYS.
We were called to window 6.
I:Good morning sir!
CO: Hi to you!
CO: Raise up your hands and swear.
(we lifted up our hands and swore to tell the truth,nothing but the truth)
CO: I will ask your wife to go out as I ask you some questions.(she left)
CO:Are you married?
Me: ;;;;;;;;;
CO:Whats your date of marriage?
ME: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
CO:How much did you pay for your dowry?
ME : ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
CO: What do you do currently?
ME: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
CO:Go out and call your wife.
(I went out and called her and I was left out)
the CO just asked her the name of her husband and my date of birth and she was told to call me,he then asked us how we inted to support ourselves in the us and we told him and he asked my wife our date of marriage again as if to confuse her.she answered and then he looked at us keenly and said,I approve your visas welcome to America!
And that’s it guys,it took us less than 4 minutes,the whole affair was so short and he picked the green slip without even looking and told us to register with DHL so that we can get our passports and visa back.in our excitement we left our marriage cert but we went back to the embassy to get it(we were not allowed to get in there but were brought to the second gate)I thank the lord guys for what saved us was the whole lot of prayers guys.We had done several mistakes on the visa application form guys and even mistakes on our initial EDv form,like my date of birth and also we realized that we had not written where my wife was born correctly as we had written we were b orn in the same hospital,she had not even filled two spaces on her visa application form but they did not ask.My host has changed address and I told the CO to check the email she wrote to me but he said its Okey we will sort out the new address later.!!lol,guess he was already in MEMBERS DAY MOOD!! You know their Friday starts on Thursday!!!lol,thanks for your support ,goodwill and care members,looking forward to seeing you all there!!!
NB:
Ultimately though, I strongly agree with a dv winner from the previous thread who wrote -
“u have to understand that while it pays to go with genuine certificates,it neither by might nor by power.There are so many people who have gone with genuine documents and were still denied visas.This is where faith comes in.Remember,the race is not to the swift,the battle is not to the strong,neither bread to the wise,not yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill(Ecc. 9:11).More over,it is not of him that wills nor of him that runs,but of God that showeth infinite mercy.
so when all ur papers are intact and genuine,u commit ur ways to the Lord so that he will direct ur paths.It is not of our efforts,it just by the grace of God that we have been selected and we can only make it by the same grace.
God Bless you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
