Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!

Hi, I have a quiz, My friend went for the interview today and she was told to come pickup your documents in 1-2 weeks, she signed the papers she had sent to KCC and they kept her passports. Does it mean she is under AP? they didnt tell her anything else apart from come and collect your document in 1-2 weeks. Thanks

May be they want to verify something she said or do a back ground check on her hosts......i think it's not too bad at least they gave her 2 weeks better than AP where they really don't mention how long. Let's pray all goes well...
 
I have been reading a lot from previous blogs and people who have gone through the process and there's is some emphasis on going to the embassy with your marriage photo's. I have been reading some of the interview experiences and no one seems to ever need these photo's. I have not read any case here where someone was asked to produce their marriage photos. Are they really required?

It depends when you filled the forms initially that you are single or you got married after filling the forms.

Hi,

please send an email to the Nairobi immigration department and explain your situation, they will give feedback in 2 working days. Make sure you indicate your Case number..

ImmigrationVisaNairobi@state.gov

Hi Jmigwi,
We used that very address when we first learned about our problem and they responded by telling us interview date rescheduling is no longer done manually. We were directed to a website where you sort of set up an account. We entered all our family details but when you get to the part where you select a preferred interview date the system says there are no available dates at the moment. We check at least twice everyday but wapi. Anyways my husband managed to call the visa department yesterday and they told him he has to check every hour to see if there is a date available. This is beginning to look bleak.
 
Does this mean we have nobody going for interview in May???

Ommited, went for interview in May, kindly update.
Thanks for the Devotion messages and verses you give me reason to talk to God even more.
God bless
 
This Greencard whole thing isnt meant for the poor. Just sit and culculate the approximate amount you need!

Birth cert....fare to and fro the issuing offices, some bribes to ammend your birth cert if it has some issues, etc
Police cert....ksh. 1k plus fare to and fro the CID headquaters. Shida unto you if you have ever been convicted of any crime
passport......takes about a month and was increased to ksh. 4500...add the passport photos money about 400 plus fare to and fro
KCSE certs......gathering them, the worry if you have a mean grade below c plain, the fear associated with laminated certs, the ksh.2k to KNEC to resend your results to the embassy etc, plus photocopying money
4 2 by 2 passport photos....costs about ksh. 500, plus the fare you use to the photo studio
medical examinations....fare to IOM, about ksh. 30k fee!...and if you have TB, syphilis etc....sina la kusema
interview, fare, about ksh. 30k interview fee.....if you are put under AP:mad:, if you are denied visa :confused:
if Visa is granted, the fare you use to your chosen DHL point
greencard online fee $165 before the GC is given to you
airfare......about ksh. 120k!:rolleyes:
settling down fee....unknown

This one is well calculated and you can say again when on AP you are somehow:mad:.
sometimes its so depressing you check your visa status daily and nothing.
But the good thing is GOD will see us through.
 
Were you successful then put under AP, for how long? why? did they give you visa at last?

Yes was successful then put under AP.
Got green letter and the USCIS one with me, Embassy still got my Passport.
Embassy don't give you reasons. they tell you to wait atleast 90days before you contact them. my 90 days will end around Aug 15th.

After reading all the posts today this one sums all of them up.
and if Nickelly allows me, i will add that... Gods time is the best time to spend.

Hey Pekindu. I think we are sailing in the same boat. I was successful, given the visa approval and the Alien number then put on AP. Still on AP:mad::mad:
Pliz share ur interview experience
 
Hi guys! Congrats for all who had successful interview. I think today is also Momo1982's day for interview.....am waiting to hear his succes story. Good luck!. Please momo narrate asap, we are waiting.
 
Looks like I will not be pursuing my case upto my interviews in mid-September.
Just started a new job with a UN agency, getting permission for medicals and the interview looks untenable.
Success to the remaining 2013 lot and those for 2014.

I personally stayed away from job searching since i joined the DV wagon. I didnt want to sneak around or ask for leave days i may not even have. Lol. Anyways, are you in Kenya? If so then its easy i think. You can call in sick and attend medicals then same story and attend interview. Yet again, a UN job may be better than what you may get in US. Its your choice really. Be blessed.
