the CO did say anything but the person who received my documents before my interview looked at the cert as if it was a fake one.

Hello Enoo,
there are quite a number of of interview experiences that have been shared. You need to go backwards and you read them. If you think your laminated certificates will cause a problem, have KNEC send a copy of the results to the embassy. That way you will be sure that it won't be an issue. Again from the forum, a number of people have presented laminated certificates and they haven't had any issues. Since it is getting to the end of the fiscal year, you are better off playing safe.
Thanks for your advice. I know my docs are original though laminated and that is what I will use
CONGRATS,that is the doing of the lord may his name be praised now and forever amen.
Enoo after all the advice given the last decision lies with you,all of us are in the learning process n give advice to the best of our ability.you take what is best for you from all the advice Mine are not laminated so i cant give my 2cents on that.
Enoo...yes the birth certificate was also laminated. As for medicals, what I had laminated was the certificate of vaccination since the medical report and CXR are sent directly to the Embassy. As for AOS, NO I did not have it. I was absolutely terrified that I did not have it but upon further consultations with guys especially 2012 winners, they assured me that if the AOS was absolutely necessary, then it would have been included in the MUST HAVE documents listed online. So if you do not have it, don't sweat it! Just get all your other documents in order and you'll be fine. Hope this clarifies it.
For medicals, payment in Ksh is cheaper as payment in $$s attracts a 5$ surcharge. On the other hand I think paying in USD for the interview is cheaper: here's why...I paid the USD 330 in Ksh. at an exchange rate of Ksh. 90 (i.e Ksh. 29,700). If I knew the exchange rate at the Embassy beforehand and bought USD from the bureaus in town at exchange rate of Ksh.86.7, it would have cost Ksh. 28,611 which is Ksh. 1,089 less... There!
Hey guys, been away for a while now. We had a safe flight on saturday. My 5 yr old boy enjoyed the flight so much but the young one cried all the way. 'mummy am going to fall, i want to sit with papa, well a friend advised me that no windows for him next time. This place is COLD. Cold kabisa. Anyways, we went to IOM today and did our day one medicals. It was a bit hectic, too many people there but we managed to do everything. They photographed us, made copies of our passports. They then wrote out a coupon slip for us and we moved on to the vaccinations room where they included the required vaccinations for us and our total bill for a family of 2 adults and 2 children came to $1,069. We then went for blood tests then xray and went to the bank to pay. They actually advise you to do your blood tests and xrays and go to the bank on your way home. After we paid, we took back the receipt but were advised to take it back on thursday when we return for vaccines and kids TB test results. While there i met a couple from Kenya i told them about the forum. They have a grade below C plain, i gave them the facts and experiences from the forum and told them there's hope if they have a diploma of 2 years training or degree. I hope the best for them.

Forumates.Good morning. I want to advise on laminated certificates. I have personally gone through the interview and got successful. All the certificates were laminated. This was not an issue. Those with laminated certificates have no cause to worry. However there are form four certificates they doubt. This is where they put some guys on AP.AP is not good thing as it approaches sept 15.My advise is for those who are yet to attend their interviews. It is a good thing if you requested KNEC to send a confidential of your results to consular section American embassy at Gigiri.Do it 2 weeks in advance before you attend the interview. It will save you too much anxiety when you are put on AP.
As concerning affidavit of support, THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. They don't even ask for it.They only ask if you have a HOST. However in order to avoid any eventualities, if you can get it go ahead. You never know this late hour.
Those with c- have no cause to worry. So long as you have a diploma that took you 2 years to complete or a degree certificate. You will get the visa. I am not sure of anybody with D+ and below.
When it comes to payments, for medicals you can do it in kshs.But for visa fees it is good to go to the embassy during your interview day with $330.Shop for any bureau in town with the cheapest rates.

Dear members ,
I need your help to review my academic qualifications and determine whether I qualify or not.
I have a UNEB O-level certificate(UCE) where I have six(6) passes(including Maths and English) out of 10 subjects sat, and out of the six passed I have 4 credits.
After O-level, I joined university and obtained a certificate in Information Technology(1year of study 2012) where I obtained a GPA of 3.15, right now I am pursuing a Diploma in Information technology(Year1 of 2 years of study). I have never worked and on the forms sent to KCC I indicated that am a student who has never worked before.
Whoever has an idea pls help me to analyze and advice me whether to continue with medicals or to abandon this golden opportunity.
We are 4 pple in the family which means 330$ times 4 = 1320$ plus costs for medicals,travel and other additional costs, this will be a lot of money wasted if am denied, so that's why I am worried to continueconfused:. However, the rest of the qualifications am Ok.

Thanks for your good advice losiamoi. Here is my case: I have two KCSE laminated certs. my grades are B plain and B plus. The two ends of the laminated certs are just folded backwards (nothing is cut). I have a degree cert (4years of study) also that is not laminated. All other documents are ok. My interview is 17 Sep. Do you think my KCSE certs will pose issues? What is your advice?
