Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!

I have a question about how people whose English level is very low (especially in spoken English) are treated during the interview. As you know, some of the selectees to be interviewed at Nairobi don’t have a strong background in the English language (for exemple, some come from French-speaking countries or from countries where the use of English is quite recent as in Rwanda). I have a concern if such people can'get troubles before the CO. Could anyone know something about such a situation?
Dont worry about English it will never fail you. How do old ladies from Ethiopis who only know Amharic and Arabic pass their interview??? They will ask you which language to be interviewed with so go with confidence but remember to translate all the documents if they are not in English
 
Guys from Somali had translators that's what I observed ,therefore you can request for one too.Just ensure you have all the documents in case you need to defend yourself(this is what is called Evidence)all the best.:)

If one can have a translator during the interview, so I think a husband can translate for his wife or vice vice versa. Correct?

Dont worry the CO knows her/his work, all you need to do now is prepare your self the rest will be provided for.

Thank you to assure me about English. As the most important thing is to translate documents, I will have them translated and notarized (those in French). In fact some recent documents are in English, while others (old ones) were written in French.

i dont think English should be an issue will be an issue. if so they would have mentioned it in the requirements.

Also to add, even when you go for medicals at IOM, a translator is provided.

Donmisty, English is an issue indeed, in the rules, its clear that all documents must be in english or translated in English. Makiki help drop the link to clear the air on this.

If have well understood what Makiki said before, English should be an issue for documents not translated in English, but not for the interview.
 
2nd NL

Congratulations to all who got their 2nd NL. It really feels nice. All the best.
Now, to the lady who want to re-schedule because of lack of time, kindly dont. Actually between now and June there is more than enough time to get all the required stuff if you start NOW.
The passport take less than two weeks (trust me I renewed mine and it was so fast) you can actually track from the net to see the progress (their website) the medicals just two days, the police certificate is two weeks (exact) so if you start the process say tomoroow by mid May you have everything.
Dont fear, just do your stuff and leave the rest to God.
I thought I also read someone who was asking if they could give work notice, NOPE, please dont. U never know if you can be on AP and take more time than you intended to. Until you have the visa and all the arrangments in place ad advice you not to give resignation notice.
Also, kindly let all people who just log in to read updates become members too that way our forum grows. Don't just be a withdrawer from our resources, also deposit some info too.
Hugs
 
Does this mean we have nobody going for interview in May???

That should not be a problem, they even have interpreters. Just make sure all your docs are legit and up to date. (i.e. medicals, police cert, academic credentials etc)
 
This happened to one of my close friend.They own a cyber cafe so the husband helps people with the e-dv application.Aparently one single lady she played for won.He approached her and together they decided to pose as married couple.This was done secretively withought the wife knowing.The said lady also didnt know anything to do with dv.The guy used all the family money to process,but sonce God is always watching they were denied visa sometime last month.Now no money ,the marriage is on the rocks as the wife feels betrayed

Iwe funzo...:(.

Wololo....yaani, how dim? Seirously people still pull this stunts?? Got a friend who was also being lured to this crap but he was bright enough to say no.
Forumites, keep safe and do not allow 'dream stealers' to rob us off our opportunities.
