Catch me are you the Main Applicant or hubby? If its you you can change things. I pray that it is not TB that he has but to be sincere if one has a scar in the chest they had TB sometime back maybe he was young and never told by his parents so lets hope for the second option that it was there sometime back and now its just the 8 week routine check they are doing to make sure it hasnt reoccurred. Be strong you never know when the light shines upon you.
There is no way you will get into that plane without the baby's passport and no way you will get into the US land without the baby's visa so do all you can to get the papers for the little one. You could have asked about it during the interview.

Hello Akelloh
Ash has posted on several threads on her interview experience and why she was refused a visa. Just take your time and go through previous threads you will see it and even learn a lot from 2013 DV experiences. I have peservered and gone through from 2012 till date and it was so amazing and i have learned a lot and if my interview was to be a day from now i think i will face it with no fear but with God by me and the encouraging words from forum mates.
Read through its very interesting and encouraging with the wonderful meditations from Makiki. oooh I am blessed to have found this forum.
Today's devotion
Prayer Has Power
If someone broke into your house and you had the choice to defend your family with your bare hands or with a gun, would you not pick the gun? Of course you would because the gun has power in that situation. The same thing can be said about prayer. Prayer is very powerful and its effects can cause everlasting life changes.

Can't agree more Christabel, Ash has posted the reasons several tyms on this thread but just to bring Akelloh up with? what happened. KCC didn't update Ash's file in regards to her new born baby. They didn't include the baby even after Ash sent them the child's ds forms. The forum members suspect that it was because she did not include a copy of the child's birth cert when sending the forms.
Anyone correct me if am wrong
Akelloh re-read the thread to know more of her expirience.
All the best to all of u that are going for interviews soon, May the Lord be with you.
Congrats to all who passed their Interviews recently. Tkcr to you'll.

Don't give up
Life has a way of kicking us when we’re down. And just when we think we can’t fall any lower, we get kicked again.
But it’s important to remember that setbacks, failures, and tragedy are a part of life. Whether we manage to find joy and success in the daily struggle of life is largely dependent on our ability to persevere through even the toughest adversity without ever giving up.

Tell me more about these scars, bcs my Kids have always suffered from Pneumonia???
Chest x-ray, scar
Any sort of infection in the lungs can cause scarring in the lungs. One such infection is TB (bacterial). Another infection is coccidiodomycosis (valley fever), which is a fungal infection. So there are a wide range of organisms that can cause infection that can lead to scarring. If you are not currently experiencing any symptoms of infection, then it has probably passed and you are just left with the residual scarring. It shouldn't get any worse over time. But it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea to get it checked by a doctor just to make sure. I just copied and pasted for you. I hope it helps.

Thank you Catchme for this info. My Kids have had Pneumonia at least each twice in their life time(One is 2 years the other is 3.5 years), according to this information scarring must have happened.
Question: Does this mean that IOM will be able to see these scars and suspect TB or kids don't get X-Ray at the medicals.
If at all they will be able to see the scars, do you advice me to go for medicals early enough so as to allow the 8 weeks of investigations.
Please advice
Kids get the skin test not xrays. Secondly after what happened to me, i would suggest that we all book medicals early enough and then go for the interviews later. That means two trips for people coming from outside Kenya. Its costly but it saves you time. Imagine you do your meds a month to the interview and they say you have to do the tests whose results come back in eight weeks, you will have saved a cool 4 weeks. Case in point, our 2nd day medicals were on 18th July, and samples start the next Monday by default, so you give samples from 22nd to 23rd then count 8 weeks from then which end on 18th September. So you can have your interview from 18th onwards. Remember the program closes on 30th September. This means that anyone who had a bad xray after us may not have the 8 weeks. If u sit and count you will see that the program ends before the results are out.
Halo friends. Finally, am booked for my medical examination on Monday, 5th August 2013. I am a bit worried of the unknown. I call for your prayers. A small inquiry. When I was born, my district was known as Kisii North which later changed to Nyamira. B]My birth certificate indicates my District of birth as Nyamira[/B] while my Passport indicates my place of birth as Kisii North. The truth is Nyamira is Kisii North and Kisii North is Nyamira. is Is there any problem?

No. read the official notice below
EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Nairobi, Kenya
The Immigrant Visa Unit in Nairobi, Kenya has adjusted its visa application process. The unit will no longer require applicants to come to the embassy on two separate occasions to process your immigrant visa. This was done in order to ease the burden on applicants and streamline the visa processing. Please come prepared to spend several hours at the embassy.
All applicants are expected to interview on the initial appointment date scheduled by NVC or KCC. Applicants should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their appointment to ensure they are able to clear security in time for their interviews. Please be prepared to show picture identification.
Appointment dates are restricted to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 6:30 AM and 12:00 PM. The embassy is closed all U.S. and Kenyan holidays.
If you are unable to attend your NVC/KCC scheduled appointment, you may reschedule your interview by going to http://kenya.usvisa-info.com. Please be aware that if you choose to reschedule your initial NVC/KCC appointment time, it may result in additional wait time for your visa interview. You should NOT reschedule an appointment unless you have already been given an initial appointment date by NVC/KCC. If you reschedule an appointment through the website without having received an initial appointment time by NVC/KCC, you will be turned away.
All immigrant visa applicants are encouraged to arrive prepared for the interview. You may be requested by the adjudicating officer to produce secondary evidence of your relationship to the petitioner if you are applying for a family-based immigration benefit, so bring this evidence with you to the interview.
For security reasons, we no longer allow applicants to collect their visas at the embassy. All IV applicants must register with DHL and select a DHL delivery location within Kenya regardless of your nationality. This service is free of charge. Instructions on how to register for DHL can be found at http://kenya.usvisa-info.com.
Thanks Enno, i have read this before, issue is the message seems silent on Friday, but i suspected Friday is off anyways.
Enoo just relax..you will not use your ID anywhere except when you`re applying for police certificate.IOM and embassy will use the passport only. they are also aware of the changes in the country,districts to counties, additions of constitutiencies etc so no cause for alarm
Catchme,
Worry not about the scarring on his lungs. A lot of people do have scarring on lungs especially if they had bronchitis in their childhood. If your husband had TB to the extent that it has caused a scar(s) you would have known by now...because the standard treatment for TB is about 6 months and your husband would have known this. My guess is that it is something else...so don't worry you will be all fine. The Visa is yours IJN
