This is MaKiki reporting all the way from Naval Air Station (NAS) Fort Worth, Joint Reserve Base (JRB), Texas. We just landed today morning at 08:30am. Ok, after we managed to cancel my dota's ticket and booked afresh we traveled from NRB to Doha where we slept at a very beautiful Hotel and by 5am we received a wake up call to go take breakfast and be taken to the airport for a US flight. The flight took 16hrs and 40 Minutes so we got to Houston at 5pm and the queue was long then we were shown to go wait in the immigration room which took 4hrs to clear and this made us miss a 7:40pm flight to Dallas so we had to sleep at the airport coz we got re schedule for a 07:20am flight. When we got to Dallas our host was there waiting for us she took us all the way to her work place where she has a dorm that has two beds, Tv, Coffee maker, Microwave, Fridge, Ac and a bathroom am writing all these because to me its rare for Kenyan Airforce to receive resting rooms or dorms that has all these. This is where am writing from since we have to wait for her to work till 5pm then we proceed to her house. This place is beautiful and these people really take care of there citizens and others. Wish i could join the airforce coz all these you get for free. But her she has a house 30 minutes away from the AirBase where she stays with her family. I will keep you posted for more steps but right now i need to sleep coz that floor at the airport wasnt comfortable at all.
GET READY FOR A CROSSOVER.
Exodus 14:21-22
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
This is the Red Sea crossover and it is a “crossover” from a place of slavery to a place of liberty. Friend, get ready for seen and unseen chains to break off from your life in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. Chains that want you to remain a slave to people, systems, etc are being destroyed in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. In this crossover, your master will not release you willingly but will desperately pursue you but friend, GET READY FOR A CROSSOVER. Yes, this crossover is for you to step from a place of hard labor to a place of divine provision in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. This is a “crossover” that will cause you be paid for all the years you have been overworked, underpaid, mistreated and degraded. This is a “crossover” that will lead to a physical relocation as you move to a place God has ordained for you. Friend, prepare for a Crossover to your spiritual liberty where you will worship God freely without anxiety and worries. Prepare to crossover to new heights in your prayer and intercessory life, new heights in a new breeze in your finances, an all round crossover in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Remember this, no devil, no force, no divination, no sorcery can stop your “crossover” in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Pharaoh and all the horses and chariots drowned while pursuing the children of Israel. The forces of darkness against your “crossover” will be rendered powerless in Jesus Great Name. Amen. The Red Sea and River Jordan all had to obey and submit to the time of “crossover” for the children of Israel. Today, I call forth everything necessary for you to step into your “crossover” time in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Guys, it would be unfair for me to sleep with such great news. Thanks for all your prayers. I got my visa today and must say all the glory belongs to God. He has seen us through. My experience was quite brief though the waiting was something else. That reminds me: for those yet to go for their interviews, please remember to dress warm. And if with kids, dress very warm. Waiting outside the main consular building in the mornings is quite chilly. We arrived at the embassy at 6.15am for our 6.30am appointment. There was already a small group of others waiting. Went through the first security check in good time but were delayed on the second one as they were allowing the guys with the non-immigrant applications to get in first. So after about 50 guys going in, those of us with immigrant applications were allowed in. That must have been afew minutes to 8am. The initial checks went well and one thing i learned and would like to advice those yet to go is that it is important to have all your documents nicely arranged and ready to be given when requested. It shows you are organised and that’s a plus. That helped me alot considering i had papers for a family of five to cater for. The guys on the initial counters were very helpful. My interview went something like this:
CO: Good morning
ME: Morning Ma’am
CO: Kindly raise your right hands and swear that all the info you have already given on the forms and will give today is the truth
WE: We did
CO: Please append your signatures on the application forms
WE: We did
CO: What did you do after you finished high school?
ME: Did my bachelors degree.........................
CO: What do u do now?
ME: Answered her
CO: You realise that the US does not take care of any of your relocation costs. How do you intend to take care of yourself over the first few months in the US?
ME: Answered her that I had some savings
CO: Congratulations Sir. (She handed me the green info leaf for visa approval, DHL info and the forms for payment of the USCIS fee.
ME: Thanks alot and have a good day.
That was all. We were out of there by 9.45am and we thank God for being so faithful. We are praying for the rest of us who still have to go and waiting for their second notification letters. Put your trust in God: He will come through for you too. Now still soaking it in and will pick the visas next week.
Hi guys,my visa has been approved!all glory to God!details later
Had my interview in the morning...success. It went like this:
I arrived at the Embassy at 07:40, I stood on the q for about 15 minutes, they checked my interview letter and passport and I went through the security. I went through to the initial desk and was given my number. There were a lot of non immigrant visa applicants and they were calling about 40 non-immigrant applicants for 1 immigrant applicant.
After about 40 minutes I was called to window 14, got fingerprinted and handed in the documents. The CO asked me when I intend to go to the US, I told him around August, he told me my visa will expire on 10th Nov. I changed the address where my GC should be sent to TX and made a payment. After making the payment, I went back and handed him the receipt and he handed me the X-ray and told me to take it with me to the US. He handed me the courier address forms to fill in the address I wanted my passport delivered and I was asked to go and wait.I waited for another 40 minutes and was asked to go to window 16.
CO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
CO: I need to verify your fingerprints.
I put my fingerprints for verification.
CO: Thanks
Me: No problem
CO: I need you to sign this form...
Me: (signed)
CO:How did you apply for the lottery, online or through an agent
Me: Online
CO: How many times did you apply
Me: Twice
CO: Second time was a charm
Me: Yeah
CO: Looking through my file for my I-134: what is your relationship to ....
Me: She is my aunt
CO: I see that you graduated from .... University with a degree in accounting
Me: Accounting and Law
CO: We have approved your visa, go and pay at the courier and in 10 days you will receive your passport and all teh documents
Me: Will I need to make a payment and how do I do that
CO: You will receive all details with your package
Me: OK thank you very much
CO: Was that too bad for you? Scary?
Me: Yes, I was a little nervous
CO: Congratulations and have a nice day
Me: Same to you

This is MaKiki reporting all the way from Naval Air Station (NAS) Fort Worth, Joint Reserve Base (JRB), Texas. We just landed today morning at 08:30am. Ok, after we managed to cancel my dota's ticket and booked afresh we traveled from NRB to Doha where we slept at a very beautiful Hotel and by 5am we received a wake up call to go take breakfast and be taken to the airport for a US flight. The flight took 16hrs and 40 Minutes so we got to Houston at 5pm and the queue was long then we were shown to go wait in the immigration room which took 4hrs to clear and this made us miss a 7:40pm flight to Dallas so we had to sleep at the airport coz we got re schedule for a 07:20am flight. When we got to Dallas our host was there waiting for us she took us all the way to her work place where she has a dorm that has two beds, Tv, Coffee maker, Microwave, Fridge, Ac and a bathroom am writing all these because to me its rare for Kenyan Airforce to receive resting rooms or dorms that has all these. This is where am writing from since we have to wait for her to work till 5pm then we proceed to her house. This place is beautiful and these people really take care of there citizens and others. Wish i could join the airforce coz all these you get for free. But her she has a house 30 minutes away from the AirBase where she stays with her family. I will keep you posted for more steps but right now i need to sleep coz that floor at the airport wasnt comfortable at all.

Forum I need advice...I was selected for dv2014 but have an issue. In
2002 - 2003 I over stayed my visa while I was
in The Netherlands for about 8 months. I have
already filled the forms and sent them to KCC
but did not state that I had been in The
Netherlands...however in 2011 I applied for an
American visa and was given a 2 year visa and
I did go to The US for 10 days then returned...I
am not sure if I stated in the application of the
visitor visa if I had been in The
Netherlands...will this cause a problem for my
dv? Should I resend the forms with that
missing information? Also if I did so I will
certainly need a police clearance from The
Netherlands? Help
this would be best.Should I resend the forms with that missing information?
definitely since u spent more that 6 months over there.Also if I did so I will certainly need a police clearance from The Netherlands?
