Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!

Sm1smon, I wish to know, do I need to sent my marriage certificate to KCC, becoz When I applied in 2011 I was married traditionally and applied with my whole family as married but finalized it in court in April 2012 before the selections. In my DS230 I mentioned the date but did not send a copy of the Certificate and in my online application I didnot put my maiden Name which is my hussy's name but did that on my DS 230.Anyone can help

If you have been traditionally married for some years and even have a child together whose birth certificate has the dads name and the certificate is as old as the child all you may need are photos if they will ask for them. I dont know how they do it in Cameroon but you dont need to send your marriage certificate to KCC if you've been married for long. Just tell them the truth when the day comes that you formalized your marriage in order to get a certificate for the process. Come on people we know very well that here in our homeland certificates for marriages are rare and they also know it. But if its a newly wed thats when you are really scrutinized :p
 
A new month,another visa bulletin out and probably the last one coz every one might be current.iam trusting God to have our interview in july atleast to be through with the anxiety,n start planing moving on the other side n start a compeletely new life thats sounds very nice.actually our host who is my hubbys siz is telling us when we get the visa we go the next day.very nice hearing one of our own nesh422 doing well this is so encouraging this is the report we want to hear to encourage us,congrats nesh and all the best.

Julliana has decreed come next bulletin all of us will be covered, sounds a tall order but isnt every thing possible with God?
 
DV winners, please be informed that any single contact you have with KCC after your selection either by sending documents, conversation on the phone or e-mail is compiled in your file and sent to the embassy/consulate where your interview will take place. The CO reviews this file before having the interview. So be careful otherwise these information may come back to hunt you.
thats what am counting on.
 
Hey Donmisty, does it mean you never filled a DS230 for her?? I thought you filled it but said "Follow To Join".
I hope you still have the email conversation with KCC carry it because you will have to say YES if asked that you are married

i know they know and if they didnt wangejua hio siku
 
Its just luck my dear. Like the first time, i was not interested, hubby told me and i wasn't moved then he sent both mine and his application, he knows all my details so it wasn't hard for him. Come the results, i was in shock. I was the one selected. I had to learn to be interested and it took me a while but i did. And it later became an obsession for me. So for 2014, i thought well, why apply again but i saw that everyone here had applied again so we did too. And on 1st we checked and again hubby missed but i got, Damn i was shocked. Like how you are happy but confused at the same time. Its pure luck since they say the selection is randomly done by a computer.
Wow!u r trully lucky.As for me i filled the first day.I will keep on trying and keep my hopes high.i just hope they do not scrap the dv thing in the immigration reforms.Next time God willing I hope to win.I wish you all the best in your interview.At least i got someone to update me on life in boston.coz in future if i get to move,that is my favourite state to move to.by the way its a nice place.
 
Good afternoon DV winners. My other question is do they require the affidavit of support during the interview? And if so what is this thing called affidavit of support?

By the way, am not exactly going to Boston but i think its the POE I'll use. I even fear to put my state seeing how badly it scored on stress and enjoyment levels. Well, its Rhode Island.
 
@misses i read the selectes instructions where they stated that "please do not send any civil documents to the kcc'' so i dont think you should send the MC to the kcc but got to present it during the interview
 
where are you Mwas and Karimi Eva have they checked their status?

Hello Fomogho
Thenks for the concern (I'm seeing this now)
Been tooooo busy and sort of wanted to avoid the agony and anxiety, the waiting process is not a simple one... But you guys are and will always be in my heart and in my prayers.

I'm here now and i'll try check in every day... The pages are so many i don't know when i'll finish going through the entire thread till i'm up to date...

Oh! my interview's in mid June... Najitayarisha
 
Good afternoon DV winners. My other question is do they require the affidavit of support during the interview? And if so what is this thing called affidavit of support?

For the UK Embassy, it looks like it is required unless you can prove that you have the funds yourself. The affidavit of support is for I-134, and it has to be booked by a US Citizen residing in the US. That is my knowledge of it.

So, I arrive at kindu 6:30hrs. Sit outside for sometime, that is until 7:30 where are are checked at the main entrance.
Thereafter we walk on this straight path and queue, you are checked your appointment letter and passport. Once cleared you go to queue 3 for major security checks. Wathc, phones, keys, laptops etc.
After, you walk into the lobby, get your no. mostly it will be a C...., and a detailed paper on the qualifications of a DV visa...you also fill in your details on a lil form and then wait. You wait for a really long time.
So...my no. was called, I walked to counter 3; got a pleasant Ethiopian lady; (it was too cold I was shivering) and she asks me three questions: ARE YOU MARRIED, EVER BEEN MARRIED AND ANY CHILDREN? All were NO. Then...she asks if am qualified as per the instructions on the paper I took earlier. So YES, i hand in my KCSE cert and copy, my birth cert. and copy and police certificate (no copy) and walk outside and wait.
After like 30 minutes my name is called to counter 5; for biometrics...then I am told to sit and wait.
After other 30 minutes my name is called to counter 9- its a corner one....and yeah the interview begins. My consular was an African, very serious but quite warm.

Consular: Raise your right hand side and swear that all i say is true and nothing but the truth (and all on the form) so, I sign the form we sent to KDC.
(she asks me to place my right index finger on some red biometric)
Consular: Ma'am are u married?
Me: No
Consular: Been married?
Me: No
Consular: any children?
Me: NO
Consular: (checks in my form) What is your highest level of education
Me: Blah..blah..
Consular: I can see you worked for a company called ......what did you do there?
Me: Blah...blah...
Consular: I can see the name sounds like a dating company is it?
Me: (laughing) No..its just a name Ma'am
Consular: Do you speak french? (she says that in french)
Me: Yeah, just a little (i answer in french)
Consular: Whats your name (she says that in french)
Me: I tell her in french "my name is ...blah,blah" ..then I ask in French " and whats your name madam"
Consular smiles and tells me unfortunately they are not allowed to say their names...we all laugh.
Consular: Where are you going in US
Me:I say
Consular: Who is your host
Me: I say
Consular: Who is he to you
Me: I say
Consular: Ok, madam your visa is approved, (hands me the green paper) you can pay the UCIS fee....blah, blah..blah...(tell you the truth I dint hear nothing after this I was too excited)
Me: Merci beaucoup Ma'am...Enchanté (thank you so much and pleasure meeting you)

I run out of the lobby very excited.
Well I met two other people on DV, one lady must be the one who asked on qualifications as she had a D and did not even do medicals but turned up for the interview with hubby...long story short. Guys really need our forum.
The other I met was this couple and kid, the lady told me she is not our member but she reads our forum everynow and then, am sure they got the visa- they looked well organized.

Guys, there is no need to fear or be super anxious (as I was) this thing is yours and nobody (or demon) can tunya you!!

God bless!!!

Karendi wenyu

This really helps me coz i'm single, never been married and no child/children... I guess i can relate to you and pray my interview will be as short as yours (but i don't know French)

Congratulations Karendi na UTHARIMWE!!!

I think you should have included the marriage certificate when you sent in your forms, in particular since you formalized the marriage before your selection. It's a good thing you indicated married when you originally applied. Even if it's a regular practice for most African marriages to not have a marriage certificate since they're traditional marriage, you still want to have the paper evidence as requested. It's not too late to send in an updated DS-230 form with your marriage certificate since your interview has not been scheduled. You can email the documents so that your file gets updated before it gets sent to the embassy (there's no need to include passport photos). Just explain in your email that you need to get your file updated with your marriage certificate. This is what I would have done if I was in your situation, I wouldn't take anything for granted.

All the best.
Sm1
