oh..im yet to pay my dowry..what should i tell them

n then guys i have traveled upcountry so i no longer have access to unlimited internet but don worry i will keep checking on you(gone to seek blessings from elders but i am praying seriously too

i even wrote in my wife's form that she was born at the same place i was born(so dump of me)but in her form we wrote the right place...should i email kcc about it or what now?

It would be wise to email them new forms with a cover letter explaining the discrepancies.

Happy to see the forum has woken up,i believe if all goes well my interview will be in Oct with wanking master---so guys i hope you will learn from our success -God willing or run from our failures!!

Yo crazy Obeez. I laughed at the part where u say even you would be suspicious of a married couple with no kids. Well on the other hand it just gives me loads of hope. We have 2 kids. While customary was done in 2009 we did the civil this year last month. We have loads of pictures for the customary and for the civil plus certificate for civil. The certificate for customary is the one you know if you are from Ug, its really not formal, you just buy it and fill the necessary details and that's it. You can advise on that part. About the kids, the first was born in 2008( before the customary) i hope that's not a problem. That's my case, are we good?

Afro couple with no kids???It is indeed strange but given that western society is catching up with us,some of us do dedicate ourselves to our careers,each other & the like.

I guess we're all in the same boatI got married about a month ago,no kids & only have pics for my civil marriage & the govt issued cert.Right now I'm trying to gather all the courtship pix so as to back it up(Perhaps I should get her paged to bolster out case..LOL_its all in GOD'S hands.).

My deduction of this whole process is that all u need is GOD,every other thing is just details even if ur papers r perfect.I've gone thru all Nigerian & Ghanaian threads & they've really opened my eyes.I've read of ppl being denied visas coz their signatures don't have a dot,misrepresenting where u were born,having different info as answers to queries #10 & 11 on the DS-230,failing to answer queries related to ur profession,professions not being eligible...& the list continues.I've read of ppl being granted visas even after interchanging of derivative's names(wife's & daughters),applicant submitting fake cert,applicant refusing to answer queries/dodging queries & the like.

All in all,these are ppl's accounts(their perspectives) & that does not mean they r 100% true neither does it absolve the COs for at times not getting it right,after all we re human.

U having kids is definitely a big +: As for the Ug cert,I'm at a loss,no idea,opinion,iota of info(hint_I'm Kenyan).

From ur info,u r definitely good to go;hope ur prepping for the interview especially what we would consider routine like names of inlaws,what u had for dinner & the like.I recently read another experience where he was deliberately misled by the CO but given that he knew his facts,it was all good.

August 2012 visa bulletin is out

The August bulletin is out and it shows advance info for Sept only just like previous bulletins. I read somewhere and they said that the oct info would also be shown. I wonder where they got that info from. Every bulletin only shows the next month's info therefore Oct info will come out in Sept 2012.

Ash know wat? A bulletin is released a month b-4 the actual month, For example we now have the August bulletin OK! when was it released? On July 12th Ok? Now yu should expect September bulletin to be released on 12-15th this month(and not on Sep)and on it there will be advance notification for the month of October. Sawa?
keeep yu locke'

another 30 days 2 go

Ouuuuuch,now that's a kick to the gut;the bulletin is ok as it is,I guess we were all caught up in the rush 2b current & get it over & done with.All in all,as the DV2012 selectees had mentioned,ur interview notification should come like 7-8 weeks prior to ur interview If 1 is 2b current in Oct,the notification must land b4 Sept (all things being equal).But then again,u cannot get notification if u r not current!!!!What I figure is this,the VO has already determined who will be current,its only that the info hasn't been released to the public.

In the old days,90s,the bulletin was printed & advance notification would be like even 2 months ahead!!!welcome to the internet age.

Next on the agenda????

Yea, the mad rush is on. The first batch is already known by now as you've figured out. KCC is busy sending their files to the different embassies before the second NL. That is what I suspect. Next on the agenda are the second NLs. I expected some of the October guys to get theirs by 1st August. Anyway, lets wait n see.

 

[Karendi]

Email from DVC

House,

Got ana email today, no...not 2nd NL, Just like another confirmation that they received my forms but this one was kidogo different. Though I had not sent a second enquiry....something like this....

Thank you for your inquiry. Your forms have been received and are acceptable for the continuation of your visa processing. KCC is currently scheduling visa numbers for your region for the month of October. Please refer to the visa bulletin at www.travel.state.gov to locate the current numbers being processed. This bulletin is updated after the 15th day of each month.

The new info on this one is "acceptable for continuation..." and " Scheduling visa nos. for your region...."

Thought it was info worth sharing.

Karendi

Wishing y'all SUCCESS in advance.LOL

You're crazy Obeez, i sat and analysed trends kabisa and i concluded that i will be current in June. But if you think you are in June then maybe i should move to April.

Success to all you doing exams! how is everyone else doing?
