Interesting how they put you through more instead of what I had to go through here. They only did the basic checks (blood pressure, weight, height and a blood test) then took me to the doctor for a basic body checkup (and I wasn't made to strip lol) but he checked for lumps in certain spots, my breathing and that was pretty much it then told me what vaccinations I needed (they stabbed my arm four bloody times in one morning!!!) and to get my x-ray and that was it.

Dear fellow Ugandan selectees, I landed on the information below at the US embassy Kampala website. Is it true we can do medicals from Uganda without traveling to Kenya. Has any DV selectee used this service or it does not apply in our case
"Panel Physician Information for Immigrant Visa Applicant Medical Examinations

Effective July 1, 2010, the U.S. Mission to Kampala’s Consular Section will begin utilizing the services of Dr. Abdu Ali, International Organization for Migration (IOM), as Embassy panel physician for purposes of conducting medical examinations for all Immigrant Visa applicants.

Hello Guyz,
I don't know if I'm the only Nigerian on this thread but kudos to you Kenyan Guyz. you've been making the DV stuff easier with info... This thread is the best so far... God bless PAPASAN who created the thread and every contributor so far...

I faced the CO yesterday and here are the details...

I arrived with my family @ Victoria Island @ 6:10am (we were scheduled 7am)... we passed through the security and was later told to find a way to dispose every device using battery and other chemically induced stuffs such as powders, cameras, phones, oil, make-up kits etc and was instructed to open all envelops including medicals... and was passed in...

Inside:

We were given a ticket with numbers which started with letter 'B' (B stands for immigrants while A stands for non-immigrants)... and was called according to numbers. firstly to pay, secondly to submit documents and lastly for interview proper...

Here's the interview:
CO: who won?
ME: I did
CO: Raise your hands and swear all the information you provided are true and genuine to the best of your knowledge.
Family: We did

He instructed us to do the fingerprints... myself and my wife did... my kid was just troubling the CO and he was playing with him all through.

CO: When did you finish your secondary school?
ME: Told him.
CO: What's your highest level of education...
ME: I told him... ( Mind you: All I did after my Secondary education was went to a computer school (vocational) where I got Certificate in Desktop Publishing)
CO: What do you do for a living?
ME: I'm a Graphic Designer
CO: Since when have you been designing Graphics
ME: 2002

Then he handed the paper containing the address for pick-up... told me it will take 5 working days... and that was all...

It's God's favor at work because this same guy scolded a lady for about 22mins before us... I never prayed to be interviewed by him. Unknown to me my wife was having the same thought as mine but he was the one that called us and God did it...

To GOD be the glory... Wishing every one facing the COs in the remaining months of the 2013 fiscal year a success and 2014 guyz, the LORD GOD OF HOST will work for you too...

Well be back from medicals Julianna, tell us about the skin test for TB in children, is it done on day 2 of medicals? Are all vaccinations done through injections? how much did it cost you and family?
 
Kika, I have two kids, moving them more than once to Nairobi is still a challenge to me

Children skin test for TB is done the first day so that the results are out after 72hrs.They use a needle and preak at the upper part of the right hand then they mark that part.All vaccination are done through injections we had 3 and the children 4.We paid 82k,vaccinations cards for the children will save you some cash so dont forget to carry them.
 
I have a church marriage and have pictures as evidence plus the marriage certificate issued by the church. Do I need to go and register the marriage or the church certificate is enough at the interview. Advice me my seniors.

Today's Devotion


Psalm 22:3
When you praise Him He will inhabit your praises. He will come and visit you. Praises are the easiest way of getting God to come your way. He says in His Word, “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.”:)

Am in the same boat from Uganda, as long as your church is recognised by goverment all church marriages are registered and so the certificate issued by the Church is sufficient enough and valid.

Visa Error

I'm back in Nairobi to pick up our visas. Sadly, b'se my wife and son where both born in Nairobi, the embassy had accidentally indicated nationality as Kenyan on the visas, even though they are Ugandan passports. So I've sent them back to the embassy for correction.
