Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!
- Thread starter PAPASAN
- Start date
Avoid mistakes please what is the hurry for
Stage 3: (post May 1st)
A lot of us get crazy at this stage and rush like a bullet train to submit our DS forms and other requirements to KCC. I feel that is the biggest mistake. The interviews are still several months away even for those with low CN’s
My advice, print out the forms read them carefully enter the requirements with all the documents in hand take your time recheck several times you do not want to make a silly mistake her that may disqualify you!
When sure with your papers send it out by courier or any service that will provide you with a confirmation of delivery to KCC.
Now comes the hardest part, based on your CN number you will start receiving notifications of your interview date and this is the longest wait in the world for many of us.
Great source to know when you may expect an interview is the visa bulletin. Friends at this stage you are overwhelmed with emotion, stress and anxiety some of us need to wait close to and even over a year before our interview date!
Use this time to find the requirements change your lifestyle and START SAVING MONEY. You will need it both at the interview as well as when you move. For most of us moving there will not be a job waiting on a platter!

Take your time before sending back those forms to Kcc. Unless you have a very low cn pls review, and keep a copy of the forms before sending.
The Big Debate
@Shorrie.
Our prayers are with you and we look forward to your success
@All
There is a conspiracy theory to do away with the current system of visa allocation in the future immigration reform law in favor of immigration visa allocation to the people already in the US in technical professions which are high skilled or unskilled labor with employers recommendations. Others are for the intensification of boarder patrols especially in between Mexico and US. The debate is still ongoing but our prayers is for the status quo to remain for its fairness to the lowly and the mighty. It will be catastrophic to thousands of people whose hope is pegged on the diversity Visa for the opportunities it offers to people who would not have been able to make it to the US. What is your take guys?
Blessings as we keep our faith burning

I second that Wanjeri, and may i take this opportunity to welcome you back to the forum. You guys were instrumental in our journey there earlier and it is always a pleasure to see a post from a senior member like you.
The DV is the only visa that serves as an equal in American visa system. It is the only program that has poor,rich,old,young etc and as the name suggests offers diversity to the system. We hope the proponents will be over ruled by views of the status quo supporters. Africans will be the biggest casualty as most of us don't have the capacity to send kids to american universities.
For those planning to travel and got visas, be reminded of the above post. Make all your luggage not more than 23kgs. That is the max in emirates american bound flights. Be blessed.
Makiki joining you very sooooooooooooooooon am on the way too,good to hear from you be blessed
Nickelly, r u coming soon too? Hurrrrrrrrrryyyy !!!

Hey, Misses, that's an interesting post. I apologize for my delayed response, I wasn't ignoring you, just been a tad busy.
A couple of months ago, in one of my previous posts, I briefly touched on some of the issues. I suggested it's a good idea to consider getting an American degree, but it's not a do or die affair. A lot depend on your current educational and work background at the moment. I advised on getting sealed copies of your transcripts from your schools before you leave your home country and get the transcripts evaluated. I believe that in most African countries, it's a lot harder trying to get those transcripts once you're out of the country (but I could be wrong, institutions in your country may operate differently). Without an evaluated transcripts, it's going to be next to impossible to get admitted into any reputable college in the US.
Yes, as GC holders, you can apply for Grants through FAFSA. The U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Pell Grants offer financial assistance to low-income undergraduate college students. Note that this grant is only applicable to undergraduate programs. The Grant will not be given to you directly, it goes to the school, and the school deducts it from your assessed total fee. Grant funds can be used to pay for tuition, room and board, textbooks and other education-related expenses. Grant amounts vary, depending on the cost of attendance, student’s expected family contribution, part-time or full-time enrollment status and length of attendance. Not all schools qualify for the Pell Grant. Students must be enrolled part- or full-time at one of the 5,400 colleges and universities that qualify for the Pell Grant program. And of course, this Pell Grant is a non-repayable aid for eligible students.
Outside of that, I personally wouldn't encourage anyone to apply for loans to go to college, if they can afford it on their own. You're expected to start repaying those loans as soon as you graduate, and if you're not careful, the terms of some of those loans could take advantage of your naivety. Yes, a lot of students take government loans in order to attend college in the US, no shame in that, it's not something I support for personal reasons. Plus, those loans do not do anything to boost your credit history until you start repaying them.
Hope this helps!
Mama, really satisfied, but happy and some tension inside me.
