finally after a long wait am current.glory unto the most high!
Finally CURRENT. September 12 it is. amen.
2NL for backbenchers landed today.
So we got to the embassy this morning at 5:45 for a 6:30am appointment. We where about 10-15 people/families back in the line, but when we came up to the second check point, the lady moved us forward to 4th place, I guess b'se we had young children with us.
At the main reception, we are given a number and a small form to file out (Name, CN, contacts) and told to wait.
Next step is presenting all our documents, certificates etc (please have a photocopy of every document). For those from UG, they need your O-level certificate. I didn't have mine, b'se it got lost, but had my transcript, A-level certificate and Bachelor and Master degrees, so that might have helped me through. But maybe I was just lucky, so please have your O-level certificate as it is the basic requirement. After presenting these, we paid the visa fee and had another wait.
Next was digital finger-printing, then you wait again to do the actual interview.
This wait was especially long in our case, b'se as I mentioned last week, there was a delay in working on our x-rays, so we had to wait to do the interview until the medical report arrived from IOM.
Eventually we are called to the final window. The interview itself was just for formality, b'se when we where done, we were given forms to follow up with the process, which had details like our CN hand written already. So my guess was they had already decided to give us the visa b4 we were interviewed and only if we contradicted the info we gave, would they deny the visa or put us on AP.
Basically, I was asked 3 questions (1) about my study (what had I done after secondary school, which was go on to University), (2) how we will support ourselves b4 we get a job and (3) about the children (I have one from a previous relationship, so asked if I had consent of the Mum to take the child. I had a court granted custody letter, so that covered it.)
All said and done, we where cleared at about 10:15am
So my advice to all still to come, is the same as we have heard from those that have gone thru it before, just have confidence in the information you already submitted and you'll be ok.
Heading back to UG 2moro and will wait for the visas from there, esp b'se the kids have to go back to school.
Guys,
Sorry for the silence, si kwa ubaya.
Finally I was able to travel to Texas. Its been one week now...so far so good.
Expect some jetlag, mine lasted like 5 days, then due to tye extreme weather changes I caught a cold. Its kinda gone now.
Already applied for my ssn...should be going for my DL in like a week or so. Luckily then I can have my ssn so I can actualize my job search.
Its a really good place, one thing though....you really need the help of your host around here till you are settled.
Hope we all stay in touch.
Good luck to all of you, you are all current this month I believe so.

We had our medicals yesterday in Yaounde, and it took us a whole day to go through the process. But some happened, the kids did have their TB test, lack of test in the Country and we were to the Dr will write a letter to the Embassy concerning that, and my hussy had a scar on his X-ray, we hope is nothing serious, he went for other test. I trust God, it something benign.Keep my family in prayers
