House of winners,how are you today.Well,in my case I did nt fill the US address when I was filling the DS-230 form.Infact,I wrote N/A..but later on I got the address and I had to fill it on my form on the interview date wen I was called to present my docs.That was before I faced the CO...So if u jus got the address u will not need to send it to KCC.Jus wait for the interview and make sure u run a background check on ur host..

how do you run the back ground check on your host from this end?
 
Thanks for the info..I thnk I saw the info somewhere but I thnk I skipped kenya from the DATV list of countries.

I understand that before you make anybody ur host,apart from a family member or a relative,You must have communicated to the person so as to let him/her know how to help out by offering his/her address.Is ur host a relative or just a friend?

You just have to communicate with your host and learn about him.like you should know his job,where he lives and stuff like that.just simple general knowledge about him is very important because the CO will want to be sure that you know your host well and you are sure he is capable of hosting you.

That's fine if I will give the address of the Host at the CO window. But if they do a background check up of the Host to ensure that he/she has enough resources to host me, as Nickelly said previously, I wonder if this could not be a cause for putting me on AP.

Now that the rwanda,uganda,s.sudan etc selectees have their interview sheduled in kenya and they have a few winners selected what happens to the remaining visas frm those countries? i bet they dont fully exhaust their allocated 7%

Redistribution occurs:)...bear in mind that they have only set the max allocation to 7% while their is no minimum.Nations that have exceeded the 7% cap are Egypt & Ethiopia.

Lessons regarding the above Stats
1:Egypt & Ethiopia have time & again breached the 3,500 cap.
2:Anglophone states appear to have an advantage(perhaps they do apply in greater numbers).
3:It seems Africa's share is on the up & up.

Hey Kevo why did you take British Airways i find it expensive like a flight that takes $1070 by Emirates it takes $1611 by British. Anyway you are single and the money isnt a problem here i guess. You see with those of us who have family i would rather keep the difference of $600 to pay for the apartment or something else when i get there. I find Qatar also being cheap coz the same destination it costa $956. Wish i was single i would have booked American Airline and take the First class lol :p
