wow!Am so loving this about seattle too.
They normally do a back ground check up of your Host to see if he/she is tax compliant,if they have enough resources to host you so that you are not a liability to The USA and are they citizens of America. Ensure your Host gives you his profile/Life History before your interview.Just be prepared.
As you are about the host, I have a related question, and you will excuse me if this has already been debated before. While filling the forms sent to KCC, I replied “ NOT YET DETERMINED” to the question #10 related the chosen permanent address in USA and to the question #11 related to where my Green card should be mailed. I now have the address and the host's name. I wonder if I must now send them to KCC before the interview date or if I will give them to the CO during the interview as have read somewhere on the forum. (We don’t all have parents and relatives in US, nor even friends!
)Me too, especially now there was a plant explosion in west texas damnnnnnn
You will give the new address at the CO window during the interview dont you worry.As you are about the host, I have a related question, and you will excuse me if this has already been debated before.

Since u dont know any body, u will then present that info on interview day, thats what i think.
Someone who is an illegal immigrant helped me to get an address of one who has a Green Card. I convened with this future Host that I will participate in the rental and in living expenses. If he doesn't change his mind as some of the forummates said!
That's fine if I will give the address of the Host at the CO window. But if they do a background check up of the Host to ensure that he/she has enough resources to host me, as Nickelly said previously, I wonder if this could not be a cause for putting me on AP.

Do you need a visa to transit airside?
In transit through the UK
You transit the UK airside if you arrive here on a flight, remain in the arrival lounge of the airport without passing through UK immigration control, and then depart on another flight from the same airport.
The UK government operates a DATV system for some countries. These countries are listed under 'More information' below.
You can transit the UK airside without a visa if:
you are a national of a country that is not in the list below; or
you are recognised as stateless under the 1954 UN Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons;
You hold a valid travel document issued by the UK government
You are a DATV national or recognised as stateless under the 1951 UN Refugee Convention and qualify for the DATV exemption under the 'transit without visa' concession - see under 'More information' below.
If you do not meet any of the above requirements, you must get a direct airside transit visa before you can transit the UK airside.
You cannot transit the UK airside if you are on your way to or from the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
How to apply for a direct airside transit visa
Depending on the country where you live, you may need to make your application online or using application form VAF6.
To find out which application method you should use, see 'More information' below.
You can download application form VAF6 and its guidance notes from the right side of this page.
As part of your application, you will need to enrol your fingerprints and facial image (known as 'biometric information') at a visa application centre.
Select your country in our country finder to find out:
how to apply in your country (including how to apply online);
the location of our visa application centres;
how long we generally take to process visa applications; and
how your documents will be returned to you.
If your application is successful, you can find information about what will happen at the border (including customs requirements) in the Customs and travel information section.

Pray that the host doesnt AWOL on you. A cuzo was duped by her to be host 2 days before she took the flight....Luckily another cuzo came to her rescue and hosted her though they had to pay for another flight to the new state....Just ensure you have some savings and when you land ensure you figure where the nearest kenyan church is assuming you are from kenyan....Make friends so that if the host is unkind you can get someone else to host you....Will pray that God ntervenes in your situation. Being a newbie in a foreign land you might find yourself doing stuff that is not right... just be careful because they might just take advantage of you...Whats your P.O.E?
