Dv 2014 Kenyan Selectees report here

Thanks susie and Rogers.I surely would not want anyone to undergo the kind of agony i have undergone since 6th.Those yet to face the CO should learn from my mistake,time might not favour you as it is doing to me,so make sure all your docs are in order.
 
PJ,
Please Inbox me the number that called you from CID coz i too want to make inquiries about the COGC - for one of my friends who applied n wanna know if its ready so that she can pick it up.
Thanks.

Imela Imela papa!!I received a call from C.I.D Hq we go collect the COGC!A miracle,nothing else.We have delivered the parcel ie COGC,a copy of the 2nd NL,3 passports.The parcel will be delivered to the embassy tomorrow morning.Experts talk to me........how long will it take for stamps?I am assuming there is/are no other case(s) under AP @ Nairobi embassy????
 
helln my fouroum mates , i see everybody here trying to guess my interview, well i want to share my interview experience ,how does it go and how it happen with me in the embassy!! Here it's goes my interviewed dated was sheduled on may 6th tuesday 2o14 ,8:00am , and i finished doing my medical on monday may 5th 2014 , and i prepared all my documents along no document missing , i woke up around 5:am ,i took a bath first after finish and i pray to my God to guide me and protect me before i go, then i checked all my documents if there was no missing documents ,then i left my home with my elder brother who escort me to the embassy ,and when we arrived at the embassy we meet another people there ,some for dna test ,some for filing ,and adoption cases, and my brother dv applicant we are about 10 to 15 i think we the dv applicant , standing outside waiting for them to open the gates ,until finally around 8am the security guide open the gates and call first ten people inside to the embassy ,i am the fith among the ten first enter the security post for checked and leave my mobile phone thr and the security give me a numeber for my phone when coming out.. And i enter the embassy where is another security guide and he give me a number with dv1 and showed where to seat until i heard that number call ,i said okay, i seated and waited until they finish filing and adoption caser first, and my number was called first by a nice sierra leonean lady ,who asked me first for my file and checked everything was completed and told go seat first and ur number will call again for visa payment i said okay , i go seated again and wait a while until my number was called againd for the payment and payed to a nice man my visa payment , and told me jo seat again the consular will call for the interview , and i waited a while and finallymy name was called by the consular in window 4 a white lady she also nice , and askf me to rairm harm i raise and she swore me in and told me to do my finger print ,i did it my four fingers and interview started , she fipt thin she said to me i think u made a mistakes here , indeed i made mistakes are fogot to put my father addre$ and my mother ,she asked me that and correct my mistakes with a pen , and checkf my rerult in the computer , and told me u welcome and give me my visa payment receipt we going to contact u when we finish and i said okay...and keep all other douments th including passport, .in two weeks time i email them and they reply me ur case is on Aps ..,that how it went my f6urm mates.
The person who took the fingerprints did the interview? Correct me if I am wrong, but when I went for my B2, the fingerprints are taken before the interview... and the VO is a different person...
I wondered too. @tyt..u mean the person who took ur prints did the interview?

"the devil is in the details"

This is where I think the problem is "the consular in window 4 a white lady she also nice , and askf me to rairm harm i raise and she swore me in and told me to do my finger print ,i did it my four fingers and interview started".
If I remember correctly @tyt mentioned a while back that he wasn't asked any questions in his interview..... that coupled with taking finger prints at, what he believes is, the interview window, is reason enough for me to believe he didn't complete the process. I could be wrong but I will request all members on this forum who've been through this process and were interviewed by the same person who took their finger print to speak up. Because, I wasn't. The person who takes the prints is different from the interviewer. I know, however, that you hand in your original documents for verification when doing the finger print scanning thing, and the documents are forwarded to the person who interviews you. He/She's supposed to hand them back after the interview.

Suggested Solution for our friend @tyt
You need to reschedule your interview. And do it like right now because you are running out of time. I am not sure the best and easiest way to do this, so, I will let our forum-mates suggest. If you indeed completed the interview, I believe they will tell you know when you try to schedule another one (correct me if I'm wrong here). Folks who work at these embassies are humans and they totally understand that we, earthlings, make mistakes. So just be upfront about everything and DO NOT lie whatsoever.

my 2 cents
 
If its the PCC office number, you guys can display it here in public !
For any useful sake :)
:):):)
Eye dont think it was an office Line...It must be for someone who helped them individually coz really those COGCs only come out after 10 working days so if they came out earlier it must be some special helping hand.....

I didn't have to swear for the fingerprint person though.

tyt, did you get anything back after the interview - ie did they give you back your originals while keeping the copies and your passport? Or did you leave the embassy without getting anything back?
 
@ vladek and Arnold,i dont have the public telephone number.I can say God was @ work for my case cz as i had said last week,the PCR had refused to listen to me.A certain lady and a gentleman,who are not actualy CID officers,got wind of my issue and worked tirelessly over the weekend to trace my wife's fingerprint form(pls note this form had been misplaced and was traced after a 2 hour search).After tracing it,they went in person to the PCR and vouched for my case as if they knew me,and the PCR approved the cert to be processed @ 9am this morning.I have not paid an extra coin apart from a token of appreciation that i have given the 2,out of my own will.The lady had actualy refused to accept,but i felt i must appreciate her.so Arnold,if there is a delay on your friend's case,pls inbox me on FB,i will talk to the two and am sure we will have a response tomorrow morning.your inbox isnt 'working,id say.

Ok, then I definitely think something is wrong. The embassy should have returned all your original documents and only kept the copies. This does make me think speculation that your interview was not complete is correct. Did you call the embassy today and speak to someone?

Yep, just like we've been saying all along.

When the fingerprint is taken, they need some time to run the FBI fingerprint check before the applicant gets to face the CO, since the CO will need the returned result as part of the decision making process; the prints shouldn't be taken by the CO at the time of the actual interview.
 
Tyt,did you visit the embassy in person?all of us might pour all manner of advices for you here but the correct and factual response lies with the embassy.You were adviced to visit the embassy,and you had said,if i recall properly,that you would do that today.Did you?Did you contact the embassy by making a call?I have a feeling that you are concentrating too much on what we are saying here without puting these advices into practice!Marines follow the word to the letter,are you? !!
 
the all allowed inquairy ours on tuesday, so tommorow at 1pm i go there to inquire and explainy my situation then and see...thank u for ur advices!! But i have little question more here , my frnd status changed on ceac from administrative processing to ready , what was that ??

Which embassy is this @tyt?
 
Tyt!stop asking any more questions before you've gone to the embassy in person,what uv been told here is more than enough,not unless you want to make history on this forum of you being the only person who received dozens of advices without following any!If there any ?s you will ask,let them be after uv visited the embassy sir.
