To God be the glory and thanks for all who prayed for my medicals. Guess what i passed all of them and am looking forward for Monday
My first day in Nairobi started at sharp 6:00am early in the morning on 26th November 2013. I really enjoyed a smooth ride all the way from Kampala to Busia boarder and honestly speaking these guys of MASH POA BUSES are really doing a great job.
We reached at Busia boarder when it was close to 12:00am at night and we all had to rush to the immigrations offices to clear off with all our passports. We all had to join the line which was full of so many passengers who had reached their earlier than our bus. We were given some immigrants forms to be filled in as we patiently waited for the line to take us up to the counter. I filled my form very fast and in just 10 Minutes i was on my way to the counter. When i reached at the counter, I presented my passport and my form to one of the offices and this guy told me to first leave the line for more questions and checking regarding to why i was traveling to Nairobi.
I was sent to a certain immigrant office to present all my documents proving the reason to why i was traveling to Nairobi. I had to rush back to the bus to pick all my necessary documents that was going to prove to all those offices that were patiently waiting to fire a lot of questions to me to why i was going to Nairobi. I proved myself right to these guys when i presented all my civic documents that included both my 1st and 2nd letter of notification, my passport, my driving permit and LC1 identity card. Finally after presenting all those original documents, these guys accepted everything and they told me that the reason why i was asked all this was that i was below 30yrs and above all they had just passed serious regulations regarding the problem of child trafficking that is commonly done at the boarders. I was given a written recommendation letter from one of the officers to take it back at the clearing station so that the visa is stamped in my passport which was immediately they received the letter.
I had to proceed very first and pass through the boarder to the next immigration office which also had so many passengers patiently waiting in line to be cleared. i immediately jumped into the line and in no minutes i had completed filling in another immigrants form. This time a round, it never took for me more than 10 minutes to reach the counter and present both my passport and my form to the officer. My finger prints were immediately taken and this guy stamped in my passport and i was told to leave.
Little did i know that i was the only passenger remaining out? so when i left the second clearing point i immediately started running towards where i had left the bus but reaching their these guys had just started moving. I had to run so fast towards where the bus had reached and very quickly i jumped inside to my seat. I was sweating all over my body but i thanked God that i managed to go through the mountain of clearing off the immigration offices.
Now this is an advice to my fellow Ugandan who are about to travel to Nairobi and mostly to those of you who are below 30 years of age. Please put all your documents ready in one place so that if at all those inconveniences that i went through come to your way then your ready to prove your self right in front of those serious immigrants officers.
We reached in Nairobi at sharp 6:30am and to me that was my first time in this beautiful uhuru motherland. I kept waiting here at Mash offices in the passenger’s room for a friend who was supposed to pick to me. It took another 4 hours sitting in this place waiting for this guy to come. I kept calling all his numbers but they could not go through. Now this is another advice that i thought was also very good to share with my Ugandan friends and those who are coming to Nairobi for their first time.
Organize earlier with your host so that he or she is aware about the time you will depart and arrive in Nairobi. Secondly don’t forget to come a long with some air time for Ugandan case which you will be using to communicate to your family as your traveling a long the way. Be ready to buy a safaricom line immediately you reach in Nairobi, since your home land number goes in roaming and these guys charge you every time you receive a phone call from some one either within Kenya or outside Kenya. You can imagine I left Uganda with twenty thousand shillings air time but trust me it never lasted for a single day. These guys could chop my MTN air time every time some one called on my number which was frustrating for a person like me who was their for the first time lol.
Finally i had to get my self a safaricom line at 200Kshs with the help of my original passport and problems via communication to me had to come back to normal. I immediately managed to communicate to my host and he was ready to come and pick me.
At exactly 2pm on 26th November 2013 that very day i reached in Nairobi, I hustle to gigiri at the IOM offices to pick my payment coupon which I received from the reception and I was told to go and pay in cba bank found in village market just five minutes away from IOM offices. I paid managed to pay all my medical bills on that day and I was very sure that the next day I was smoothly go through the first stages of my medical examination.
The next day early in the morning on 27th I managed to reach IOM offices in gigiri UN Avenue by 7am in the morning and as you know how Nairobi behaves climatically, it was seriously raining cats and dogs. But good enough with my broken swahili, i managed to board a matatu very quickly to gigiri. Because i could not speak well swahili this taxi guy wanted to play a round with me with out knowing that i grew up in another Nairobi in Uganda called Kampala city. Anyway he wanted to charge me 50Kshs when actually I paid 30Kshs on 26th when I was going to pick my medical payment coupon.
I was able to Check in at the gate in time and i presented all the documents that were asked which included; my valid passport and any letter that notifies that i was selected. After showing all these civic documents, this friendly KK security guy handed over to me the applicants tag with a very big smile and he directed me to processed to the reception room where i kept waiting for the other officers in charge to report in. shortly after 20 minutes of waiting, these officers reported and all of us who where their for our first time where directed by a lovely Nurse to the counseling room for more briefing and counseling about the whole process. We where all given some forms to sign and later she directed us to first processed to the X-ray room and then later to the Lab for the tests. It was really quick and fast here and all they needed was a copy of your passport, a copy of your notification letter and two Us passport photos
Personally speaking, i enjoyed my first day of my medical working with these generous IOM officers. They were all lovely and down to earth. I also met some new friends. One was from Uganda, two Kenyan and another lovely young lady from Newzland.
My second appointment letter was telling me to be at the IOM offices at 9am sharp on 28th November and by 8:30am on that very day, I was already patiently waiting at the gate. I presented my appointment letter and this time a round I was give a Revisit tag. I proceed to the reception where I had to present all my medical receipts and my passport. After all my documents where collected, I was led by an Indian nurse to the next building out that of the reception where I meant an nurse who started working on my physical examinations. This started by measuring my height and recorded down the findings and after she told to close one of my eyes and read some of the alphabets on the wall that she was choosing for me. They also measured my blood pressure before proceeding to the next room. Outside this room, we were five applicants and we had to keep waiting for our names to be read. I was the fifth and this time a round the guy told me to remove all my clothes and remain with only my underpants. He told me to lay on the bed and very fast he started by checking my eyes, he told to open my mouth and lastly he checked my backs, arms and feet’s. It was done. I had to dress up myself and go straight to where he was sitting.
Here in this room is where your X-ray disc is given from. He congratulated upon passing my medicals and he told me everything with me was fine. Men it was lovely to hear that. Immediately I was told to proceed to the vaccination room for another hell of being injected. You know I fear injections but the purpose and the good of how I want this Visa; I said I will swallow everything until I receive all the three shots. Guess what, it was really so fast that I was about to beg for another shot. Am joking.
Finally as i close this medial chapter and remain focused towards Monday. I was given my vaccination records and my X-ray as well and I give God the glory and thanks for all your prayers.
See you on Monday

All i can advise you before you go for your medicals is to do pre -tests and find out whether your TB positive or negative other wise i don't want to see you disappointed at the last minute.
Guys if have had TB or you are not sure please its good to do an early test the earlier the better

Its good that you pick your payment coupon on that very first day so that it becomes easier for you to enjoy the next day since you don't have to rush to do the payments. It also reduces on the stress you have to go through as a first time medical applicant again in an environment which is new.

Chipping in costwise in your host's budget goes a long way in keeping that relationship going (between us coming from Africa and the host + his/her family). Having visited a couple of times. Its all about the bills, bills, bills. Its not that your host is mean or anything. Its just about the $. Host schedules are tight. 2 or 3 jobs so time to take you around becomes limited. Take the initiative and learn the bus system if there is one in your location. Google maps works wonders for new comers...Save Save Save while you are here.
