I wrote an email to the consular guys regarding the affidavit thing and this is the conversation:

Abu Hamza:

Dear Sir/Madam,



I have been scheduled to undertake my DV interview on June 5th, 2013. I wish to get confirmation of the same and also inquire on the school certificates of whether they should be certified. In addition to that, I wish to inquire on whether I would be required to get the affidavit of evidence from my hosts in the United States.



Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.



Kind regards.

Dear Mr. Abu Hamza,



Thank you for your email. Please note that you do not need to certify the certificates and also we do not need an affidavit of evidence from your hosts in The US.

Didn't realise I wrote affidavit of evidence instead of affidavit of support...I guess its the DV symptoms that has overtaken me. I hope they mean the same thing though

Why does it take two days in Kenya? It only took me an hour for the whole medical to be done. I planned for the worst and got there and even had time to go and finish my missing vaccination at my Drs and e-mail them to the Knightsbridge doctors.

I gues dats the benefit of living in a developed country as opposed to a third country. As my lecturer would put it 'Third world country mean that particular country in question is 3 times behind as compared to a first world country (developed country). Coming to our case ie medicals, if we were to put that argument into practise, we are well off since it takes one day at Knightsbridge which I guess is in London and two days in Nairobi. It shd have taken 3 days in practise.

So we can now categorise Kenya in the sem level as the BRICS (Brasil, Russia, China, SAfrica).

Today's Devotion

Joseph is another biblical example of someone who found the favor of God in adversity. He was sold into slavery in Egypt, mistreated, and taken advantage of. But the Bible says, "The favor of God was upon Joseph." No matter what other people did to him, no matter where they put him, he continued to prosper. Even when unjustly being accuses of rape, and he was thrown into prison, he continued to thrive. The favor of God eventually caused him to be released, and he was put in charge of all Egypt's affairs.

I'm in Nairobi for a conference and took sometime to visit the new IOM office in Gigiri and would like to share some info.

For those that have booked a medical, you will have received an email asking you to collect payment coupons, these help you make your vaccination payments in advance, but you need to show up with all your medical records (vaccination cards, etc), so they can decide what you still have to get. However, it also ok to come on the day of your interview and get the coupons then, since the the vaccinations are done over 2 days, you can pay before you come back for Day2. This is especially helpful for those not based in Nairobi.

In terms of location, the centre is on United Nations Crescent. As of yesterday, when I passed, they had not yet put up a sign post, and since they are new in the area, asking for directions to IOM from people on the street or even guards at the UN is totally useless, you'll be sent to the old offices, since that is what they know. Instead, ask for directions to TARA-SUITS, they are right next door, and those are known. So you'll get to the IOM easily.

The IOM sign posts from the old location where in the compound, so I imagine they will soon be put up, but in the meantime, this should help you get to the centre.
