R u sure???
Even if that were so(early medical),it will shorten ur visa validity unless you'll be out of Kenya in like a month or so...
obeez sitaki kukaa kenya nimechoka wacha ni join maoga like u said..lol
Going for the medicals without instruction, if I remember well, from the 2nd NL, would be a waste of your time and money. The Medical instructions specify where you should take your medicals from. So you cant just walk into any clinic and ask them to give you a full medical. The medical results are never handed to you in any case - they are sent directly to the US Embassy, so that there is no risk of tampering on the part of the applicant. So, all you can do is just wait and gather the documents detailed in the 1st NL, making sure that everything is in order. You wont have much time once that 2nd NL comes in.
Trust me, I know how killing the wait is for that 2nd NL. It builts enough doubt in your mind to make you want to give up, and I know one person who quit the whole process at this point, not knowing that it was only a matter of patience, considering he didnt have anything wrong with his supporting documents etc. Some people I guess wither under certain pressure.
It'll all be good, just wait a while longer.

Yap. We are all up next year. I guess mine is closest that is feb or mar. But with the snail pace of the cut offs, probably in April.

My sisto,u go jump the queue!!!
Cheers.
I wish I could my brotha. Am glad you discovered a lost soul lingering in the wilderness. He needs to come back home (East Africa). I hope more and more people get discovered. This forum is amazing.
Kudos to you Obeez and Papasan. He really is a papa, u know, calling out to kids to come home.
The more,the merrier
Totally;they don't know what they r missing out on
Its a pity. It is rightly said in the law of equity that 'equity aids the vigilant'. So a DV winner is expected naturally to surf the net about DV and that is the only way to land on this forum.
Hey guys/gals - while ya'll waiting on movement on the 2nd NL (BTW, hang in there), I just wanted to distract everyone a little bit and take the discussion to different direction by asking if you guys have family or friends here in the US, people you know that can help you with navigating your way through your early days here. Or are you striking it on your own? Any particular reason why you chose your specific PoEs? I see NYC and Boston mentioned. Have any of you previously traveled to the US or that'll be the first time? Any fears/anxieties or hopes?
Maybe, this discussion can open up thoughts to keep in mind once everyone is preparing for the final step after you have the visa finally stamped in your passports, or just simply a light-hearted discussion on anything to act as a distraction while waiting on that 2nd NL. Maybe !!!!

I would like to live in Boston to start with...I want to go grad school at some point in time.
My preferred schools aren't too far

I have family or friends across the US, so while I've arranged with one as an initial point of entry, I'm keeping options open to eventually settle down where ever I'm able to establish a decent life for me and the family. But of course, metropolitan areas with large immigrant communities are always the easiest to settle into, and Boston is one of those.
Thx for this Wendogg. I have friends and family in NYC and NewJersey. I think I will end up in NewJersey where my family is. In which state are you Wendogg?
definitely
This would be stuck between a rock & a hard place.
I have relatives in NYC but I would prefer to move southwards due to better weather & moderate cost of living.
Never before..
Hmmm...less fear,more anxious,greatest hope
What's ur take on life in the US?
