There's nothing simple about this thing. Its especially hard for us who travel from outside Kenya. Securing leave days, air tickets, and if u travel by road its a whole 12 hours. ( i refused to take this road (pun intended). I said to me and hubby that since there are no guarantees on this visa thing, we might as well enjoy it, so fly we did, and fly again we will if all goes well) lol. Anyways you complain about 4 days but if you choose to stay around for both medicals and interview then u may stay for 3 weeks; give or take a few days. Be prepared for this.

Catchme,

I guess it depends on how much you have at your disposal.

It would make life a lot easier if each country dealt with their own. When i first found out that we are supposed to move to Nairobi, i went like how cumbersome, i wanted out. I envy you watu wa Kenya. (Even i can afford a lil' swahili lol)

Makiki! I want to correct you on this issue of baby born after issuance of visa. My son was born after we had our interviews and prior to activating the visas. What you need to do here is few simple steps;
1. Immediately the baby is born, email the embassy with your details and the baby's birth certificate attached.
2. Apply for the baby's passport for travel.
3. Have baby's dv specs passport pictures.
4. Get a medical report from the hospital indicating baby's health and the vaccinations received.
Armed with all this the baby will receive the I-551 sticker at the point of entry but its should the baby's 2nd birthday.

Pls read the info below from the state gov. Search in the forum also there are many people explaining how they did it but I would urge you to follow what the embassy will tell you. It varies from country to country.

9 FAM 42.1 N1.1 Child Born After Issuance of Visa to
Parent
(CT:VISA-1829; 04-18-2012)
The child born after the issuance of a visa to a parent is not required to have a visa if the child is:
(1) Born subsequent to issuance of an IV to the accompanying parent within the validity of the parent’s immigrant visa; or
(2) Born during the permanent resident mother’s temporary visit abroad provided that (see 9 FAM 42.1 N2):
(a) Admission is within two years of birth; and
(b) Either accompanying parent is applying for readmission upon first return after the birth of the child.

birth cert/passport

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. My birth certificate indicates my District of birth as Nyamira 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?

Indeed Uganda has a capacity to handle immigrant visas but I don't know why the embassy does not get upgraded to this level bsc it would even be a lot more easier for Rwandese and Burundians to travel to Uganda than Kenya. At least if they could allow medical results from IOM Kampala it would be some how fair. anyway
 
VISA GRANTED
We arrived at the embassy at 5.45am.Our interview was at 6.30am`.we went thru the first check then another check where we left our phones. At the main building we were given a number to wait and a dv form for the dv education qualification. Our interview took around 3minutes and was as below

Enoo, some one replied and told you that they are more interested in the country of birth not the local place in particular, so as long as the country has not changed, you are ok

Oh my God! congratulations " America here she comes". ;). I have noticed some thing about your interview and I don't know whether the embassy has changed the sequence of the events at the interview. 1. You received an interview before your papers were checked 2. You received an interview before you paid the interview fee.
Please help and clarify this so that we get to know what to expect
