Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!

I called the KCC office yesterday to ask of when to expect my 2NL but was told they are still wrking on it. My wife is due to deliver in November so i asked of the fate of my unborn princess and was told to fill and send part 1&2 of the DS 230 form, add two copies of her passport pix and a copy of her birth certificate. They however did not tell me whether my child would also go through the medical exams or not.
I think the medical will be a must but after the 2NL. How fast will you be to obtain the Birth cert immediately after the birth and send them? May be if you delay getting the B.cert, you still be current when your time comes but there will be a delay of the 2NL.
[/QUOTE]I guess per my CN i will be current in January, ie. if i'm not mistaking. My question is, i hold a masters degree and almost 7years working experience ( though quite young), lol. Which of these two do u suggest i use; education or working experience?[/QUOTE]
Education is a must to be referred but I think you are nice to go.
 
I agree with Wanking guy, you are so humurous....this was hilarious. The driver is Papasan, konda ni Obeezy, wanking u really are in the front row. Catch me is head of communication, she is also the one taking all traffic police queries.

Yeah, like am supposed to explain why the driver is drunk?
 
Guys i emailed the KCC for the second time,last time they had told me that they have finished processing my papers and are acceptable for continuation they are waiting to slot for me an interview date,they are just waiting for the right time n i am like,how long does it take?dont they know the pain one is undergoing waiting?

Me thinks u've probably been slated for the 1st/2nd week of Nov given the time they've taken.They do have to get a visa number for u inorder to give u an interview date.Perhaps ur docs were misplaced or so many(<CN8000) sent their docs b4 u & now they r trying to fit u in Oct which (by their own words) seems a longshot.

All will be well:cool:.
 
Thanks a lot Obeezyb,
You know wat? I called them immediatelly when I saw this post, such that I forgot to get back to the forum. Anyway they asked me the reason why I will be booking my med exam at Oct but I had no good reason so they told me the earlier the better. They asked me to decide when to book before the month of Sep ends coz there may be a bookin' congestion. Therefore I decided the to book the following day, now yesterday 18 Sep, 2012.
We went wid ma spouse and my kid, passed thru the gate n we're given an applicant burge thru to the reception where we said that we wanted to book for a DV medical exam.
We were booked on 1st Oct, 2012 @ 7.30am. They also estimated the total amount + additional vaccines if applicable as Ksh.74,000.00 and asked me to carry (MUST) vaccination record for my 8 month kid, Valid passports + its copy(bio data page), DV applicant interview appointment letter and 2x2 Photo for each (US Photo req'ments)

I called them immediatelly when I saw this post, such that I forgot to get back to the forum.
It happens:p

They also estimated the total amount + additional vaccines if applicable as Ksh.74,000.00
Did they give u a breakdown of this figure/how they came about it?
 
You must be very humorous Obeezy to b,
Anyway Who's the deree and who's the Konda?
Am placed on the first seat as you can see, naomba Hewa isiwekwe so that we can communicate to each other nicely.

You must be very humorous Obeezy to b,

NO CALLS,SMS ONLY!!:p(As seen on loud mathrees).
 
Hi members,
Do yu remember telling you about the issue of the DV2013 Files from KCC to the Embassy/Consulates?
They had told me that they can't answer my query since they had not yet received the DV2013 files as well as my case, I was worried but after a week I emailed them again but this time they just told me that they don't have my case. I emailed the KCC and their reply was......"you Must forward all your inquiries to the stated Embassy on the 2NL, I became more worried. I emailed the KCCINQUIRY@state.gov but they have taken too long to reply so I decided to call the Embassy but the call machine told me that they are currently not able to connect me to the DV Immigrate calls. I opted to email the Embassy again on Monday this week and their reply at least relieved me from the big worry. They said they won't answer my quiz till next few weeks.

They said they won't answer my quiz till next few weeks.
I guess they would rather finish with DV2012 affairs b4 embarking on DV2013.They probably have ur files but wont admit it since they would open themselves up to more queries to which they do not welcome as of now.

Waoh!

Hope this flight is a high speed and the pilot is a Guru.

Unfortunalety,this flight is moving @ the pace of a dinosaur:mad: tutafika lini given the last stage is the Big Apple which is like 8.5 months away.Maybe I should liken it to a cruise since they do take this long.Ok folks,welcome to the cruise;drinks r on the house,toast to the good times ahead,DJ,music please....

I think they will only administer what they know the child can handle since kids r vaccinated in doses & though not a medical dr.,I seriously doubt a new born baby can handle such a cocktail of vaccines.

My question is, i hold a masters degree and almost 7years working experience ( though quite young), lol. Which of these two do u suggest i use; education or working experience?
Education is the best bet(but their prime consideration is what u obtained in ur secondary school final exams...going by what I've gathered so far).

All the best.

The note below was obtained from http://turkey.usembassy.gov/immigrant_admin_processing.html

Important Reminder Regarding Medical Examinations
Medical examinations classified as "Class B (TB)" are valid for 3 months from the date the doctor signed the report. All other medical examinations classified as "No apparent decease or defect" are valid for 6 months after the doctor’s signature date. If your case is subject to further administrative processing, your medical report may expire during the process. In that case, you are required to renew your examination and submit an updated medical report to our office when you come here to receive your immigrant visa. Your visa validity will be limited with the validity of your medical report. If you plan to travel at a later date, you are advised to renew your medical report and get a visa with a longer validity.
