I cannot say yes or no, I think really it depends with the CO's mind frame that day when they are interviewing you, their first impression, perception of the person as well as your own body language to some extent I believe determines the kinda questions you are asked. I personally need to brush up on projecting my voice when speaking because funnily enough I tend to sound hesitant like I dont know what I am talking about, while in reality I know what am saying lol.

Go to a Commissioner of Oaths with all the documents and get an affidavit. That's what i did. The CO did not have a problem with that. My birth certificate, different school certificates, passport all have different name order or omission or addition. No problem.

Gurix its simple for me - (but complicated)
I have 4 names - Baptised with 2 Christian Names - Surname and Family Name. Initially i used 3 of those names - One Christian Name - Family name and Surname. Later on my Dad told me to use my Name n stop using his name.....(Family Name). And thence the use of just my Surname n Christian Name. Some Certificates have 3 Names and the last 5 have 2 names. Though my Birth Certificate n Passport all have all my names (4). So really what should i do? I should take all my Certificates?

You're overthinking this surname, family name, last name, or what ever name thing. As long as all 4 names are listed on your birth certificate and passport as you stated, you should be fine regardless of which name combination is used on your certificates. Yes, you should take all your certificates with you to your interview. You shouldn't even need an affidavit IMO.

Don't worry, it doesn't matter. I took all, had the affidavit. At the embassy, the Kenyan lady taking documents didn't even take it after all the hustle. So don't sweat it. Do it just in case but for my case it wasn't taken. Was returned immediately.
 
hi forum mates am happy reading for some successive interviews, indeed this is a house of winners, just came today from doing my drug test, hopefully I will be able to start working soon. One lesson have learnt here one has to start working from somewhere especially if you don't have any work experience here in the usa, start doing any kind of job so that your next job ,you can give reference from the first job that you did, but so far so good coz the moment one gets into the system ,everything is perfect ,one has to just work harder, so for those planning to relocate, welcome to the land of many opportunities, for those waiting for their interviews, medicals and second letters.y`all winners.bye

Ok. Let me be cautious. You know how it goes especially for us back benchers - just in case is the our motto. We cant leave anything to chance.

Congrats to all those whose visas have been granted. God be our helper we are finally getting to the end of this stressful DV of a thing.
Nice week end to all

Hello my brothers, I have been away for some time. How long does a Kenyan Police cert take to come out? For us backbenchers time is of the essence and I hope and Trust in God that we will be current in the coming few days. Case No. AF000879XX
