Ha ha, tell me about it. Sometimes you have to verify twice. Plus i posted on the Kenya thread too, am not sure if its 2012 or 2013 but i did and from the threads in Nigeria, on another forum, they do look at those subjects. I have however seen the KCSE grading system and the UNEB one i have managed to compare the two. My Pass 7 in Maths translates into a C-. Not good.

Hullo catchme, you can also cross check with the occupation website to check whether your occupation/profession qualifies. I believe it does.

It qualifies. Its under job zone 4 - considerable preparation needed.

He he. From your mouth to the consular's ears.
Police certs are so easy to get. Unless ofcourse you are a criminal. I got mine in May before I landed on this forum. Now I will have to renew it before the interviews because it expires in 6 months. My interview will be in Feb 2013 most likely. Had I known about the long processing time of the DV papers, I would have just relaxed!
We have now gained some reasonable experience in human psychology. We can be good COs our selves. You can read the CO's mind as well.He he. From your mouth to the consular's ears.

You say they are easy? Thats contrary to what i have read elsewhere. Everyone says it takes up to a month to get it. I will need your help somewhere in April, coz i think i might be current in June 2013.Alternatively, you can tell me how to go about it, requirements etc...
Processing Police Certificate in Uganda
Step 1:
Go to the new Police Headquarters at Naguru for fingure printing (go to a tent in the compound). Go with a copy of your passport and two passport photos. Get assessement of 9,500/= and pay at Stanbic Bank IPS branch on Parliamentary Avenue. There are no bank charges.
I advice you to get two assessments, one for fingure printing process and the second one for a copy of your fingure prints. Or one assessment form for 19,000 and tell them you want a copy of your fingure prints as well. They do not give it to you unless you pay for it as stated herein.
Take receipt back to Naguru. Pay 3,000/= (official officers allowance) and get another receipt. Payment Office is at the main gate.
Take all receipts back to the tent. They will give you a plain paper to write an application letter to Interpol.
Fill forms for fingure prints and they will do the fingure printing there and then.
You will have two sets of forms if you pay for a copy. Get your copy and go home.
Step 2:
Wait for 4 to 5 days then you go to Interpol offices in Kololo, Mabua Road next to the Anti Corruption Court. Keep all receipts and assessment forms (stapple them together) and go with them to Interpol.
Go and check whether your fingure prints have arrived at Interpol. Get assessment of 50,500/=, pay at Stanbic Bank IPS branch. Go back to Interpol and pay another 3,000/= (official Officer's allowance) and get another receipt. They will take your picture from there (though mine was not taken, they just scanned my picture which was on the fingure print form). Go home and wait for two to three days for the Certificate of good conduct. Keep all receipts and assessment forms.
Go back to Interpol and check the book at the gate. If your Cert is ready, your name will be there. Sign and off you go.
The process should take a maximum of two weeks unless other factors come in. For example, the Boss who signs was out that is why mine took two days before she signed other wise I would have got it the same day after paying.
What normally delays is the transfer of the forms from Naguru to Kololo cause they wait till the number is alot before they do the transfer. Otherwise, your forms should be at Interpol after three days from the date of fingure printing ordinarily.

Congs brother and thanks for sharing. It's me with the grading concerns. Yes we want the interview experience but i guess i might not benefit much from it. I happen to be married and have 2 kids too, so my interview will surely be a lot for than 3 minutes. Lol. Good luck though.

Thanks for the info Yesuafuga! We need to know what happened at your interview. Those 3 minutes are the most important in this visa journey. Never know what they asked you was different from what we have read. So please, just post it.
Kindly let us know whether you lived with a friend or in a hotel in Nairobi. If it was a hotel, which ones do you recommend? What are the rates? How long did you stay in Nairobi from medicals to visa pick up? Will appreciate.

Yes Ash, those details will surely help. I will need a family suite. Lol

I need not just an ordinary family suite, I need a 'double' family suite if at all it exits. We are seven people in number, wow! 3 biological kids, 2 adopted kids plus the two of us. These US guys are really making money on the visa fees. Can u imagine 330$ x 7 people! This DV thing is expensive but worth it. Add medicals, hotel, feeding, transport. Some cool millions!
By the way, we are so lucky. My brother got the GC in 2010 and they paid 819$ per person and they were three of them. I thank heavens for the price cut.

Wow Ash, all this time, and from all your postings, it never occurred to me that you are that many. Wow, seven is such a big number. We are four, 2 kids and the two of us. I'll need your interview experience word for word (wink wink). I hope you have all the necessary paperwork for the adoptions. Good luck with everything.

You are very welcome. Cheers on that drink. suggested by Obeez.
Thx
Thx catchme and Obeezyb. Looking forward to the adventure, but I guess with a CN in the 57,000's, we'll have to be waiting until maybe April 2013 for things to start getting interesting. In the meantime, just trying to get the documents in order. Will need to re-do the Police certificate next year, since the one I got will have expired, by the time my number comes around.
