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.

Hi,

Pole, ok. We'll pray that a date comes up soon.

There have been a few posts on the process of applying for an SSN. As it turns out, the Social Security Administration has provided an avenue for one to apply for their SSN while still in the home country during the visa application process and if you use this process, the SSN will be delivered to your given address with 3 weeks of arriving in the US.

This provision is included in FORM DS-230 as indicated below;

********************************
Answer "Yes" to Questions 43a. and 43b.on Form DS-230

43a. Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you an SSN (and issue a card) or issue you a new card (if you have an SSN)? You must answer "Yes" to this question and to the "Consent To Disclosure" in order to receive an SSN and/or card.

43b. CONSENT TO DISCLOSURE;
I authorize disclosure from this form to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the Social Security Administration (SSA), such other U.S. Government agencies as may be required for the purpose of assigning me an SSN and issuing me a Social Security card, and I authorize the SSA to share my SSN with the INS.
*******************************

Therefore, if you answered yes to these questions on the form, they'll automatically start processing your SSN as soon as your GC is granted. For more details on the process, please visit the SSA website. This link will take you to the page I'm referring to, but you can also explore the rest of the site for other info. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnvisa/#a0=2

If you find that you need to go to the local SSA office to follow up your SSN, you can use this link to find the SSA office nearest to you. All you need is the zip code of the area where you are living. https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/FOLO/fo001.jsp

Cheers

You will get a 2NL by 15 July 2014. In that letter, you will be given your interview date and other procedures. You need to relax. you can send your forms even May next year. The time you send them does not affect your interview anyway. For now, relax and do sth economical

Hi Enoo
If u go through other forums and even this one u will realise that the time you send ur forms especially those with high case numbers affects ur interview. This is because in another forum i realised that somebody who has a case number above 70.000 had an interview before anoda person with a case number above 60.000. This is because if forms are to be treated from 60.000 to 70.000 and the person with a number 70.000 sent his/her forms in May immediately after notification while the other person with case number 70.000 sent his/hers in August; the one with 60.000 will be treated and called for interview first if the range is 60.000 to 70.000 while the person with 70.000 will be called later.
That is why u see some persons with case numbers higher than others who have already gone for interview.

When i remember back on 13th of October towards end of October 2012, pages 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 in this thread how i got answers both on the page and some in my inbox about this KCSE thing if i was a scared person with low esteem i could not have made it to the embassy for interview.

'interview' experience

Hi guys,

My interview was scheduled for today at 8am and so we were there bright and early, went through the usual security checks,
paid the visa fees only to be told that some of my documents have not been sent from Washington and that i have to come
back later when the documents are there.

My medical results were there and so was my form that i had sent to KCC. Am literally at a loss on what document they were
talking about. They said when my name was keyed in there was no response.

On a positive, they said they would call me and inform me on the interview date they will allocate me.

Guys pray for me!

Hi Clama,
No reason to worry, the documents will come and everything will be ok, were you asked to sign the form you sent to KCC... That section they tell you to sign before the CO?
