Hi nairobba...can't wait to go through this ...Guantanamo seems like a walk in the park!!!
thanks my man Jonge, I wanted to take every1 through the experience emotion wise, imaginationwise and all that.ofcourse except physically.lol
What an experience. Congs br
I was at the embassy at about 5.50am, found people were already outside, but most were family groupings. The guards opened the pedestrian gate at about 6.08am, and we were asked to queue per gender. males one line, females the other line. I was the third male to be let in.Side Note to Allunctuality is key. There is a huuggge number of people waiting to be served.
After initial security check, we were let in and asked to wait, once again by the order we had arrived, right outside the consulate. People with young kids were given the seats, while us young men..AHEM!! were left standing. That was the longest wait man, we stood there for over an hour while waiting for them to log in their systems and make themselves ready to address us. People who were getting non-immigrant visas were prioritized; and of course American citizens just jumped the queue. After all, the consulate is theirs. Note To Self: I'll jump the queue too, just give me 5 years.AHEM!!
Finally they got to the immigrant visas; and this is at about 7.20am. They need the 2NL and original passport for you to be let through into the consulate. The staff member, a young Kenyan lady, counter checks my info versus her list of appointments scheduled for the day. She ticks against my name and once again we have to wait to be security checked in order to be let into the consulate. This time round we are offered seats. NoteToSelf: I think I should just change my name to WAITER. This way I'll @least live up to my name.LOL
Finally about 10mins later, they let me in. Here they let guys in in groups of fours. You hand in your electronics, keys and coins;place them on a basin and you are asked to walk through a metal detector. Then they check you physically using the hand held metal detecting device. Once clear, they asked me for my CD from IOM and something else I honestly can't remember what. The cold had chewed up my memory. I know I'll remember next year. They then tagged those two items and they were left behind, whereas I left with the tag.
Once through that security check, I was let in and took a walk inside the consulate. I was directed by some guard through a security door where I walked in and saw a bunch of people waiting on my left. Direct ahead of me was a young Kenyan lady who asked me for my passport and my 2NL. She took away my phone then gave me a numbered code which was the code they used to call me through out the exercise. Then I left that building and once again went out to do what?WAIT!! where??OUTSIDE IN THE FRIGID COLD!!
After about 30mins, WAITER
After about some more 30mins, I was called in again through the public address system, to counter 8, where there was an american lady who was addressing me in Kikisii. My goodness her Kikisii was twenged, tweaked and all proper jargons you can find to describe "corrupt." I was polite though, I even explained am not good in Kikisii so that she could stop speaking it. LO AND BEHOLD she kept on with it. She took my finger prints, indulged me in small talk, talked about my folks a little bit. She must have been Kisii sent though(read "HEAVEN SENT"), coz she asked me to wait insidesigh!!LOL for my interview to be conducted. I stayed inside for about 30mins, then we were asked to go wait further outside. I didn't wait outside for long though, my name was called to counter 6 for the actual interview. The interviewer was an American lady:
CO: Raise you right hand and solemnly swear that the information you've accorded us is the whole truth
ME: I do.
CO: typing something on her computer If I were to hand you this visa,where do you intend to stay in the US
ME: Atlanta Georgia
CO: Who lives there?
ME: A close family friend.
CO: while typing on her computer Have you ever been married before?
ME:No
CO: while looking me in my eyesHave you ever brought forth any children?
ME: No
CO: I see you studied xyz in campus. Is that what your job is now?
ME: I explain my job further...
CO: I see. can you dance??
ME: Excuse me?
CO: Time for you to dance a bit and call your family friend in georgia, I'm approving your visa.
ME: smiling sheepishly while fist pumpingI'm sorry ma'am, I have two left feet
CO: Approaching the window as if to whisper to me Then you must be the only Kenyan who can't dance..
ME: Blush.(didn't realize it wasn't a compliment)
She hands me the green paper and indulges me in small talk on how to open my DHL acc, and when to pay the USCIS fee. She also said that due to the festivities going on, I'd get the visa in about 10days.
I saunter out of the embassy, whistling away and feeling heat ONLY on my face.(weird,huh??) Mark you it was still frigid outside. I leave the embassy still in awe, pinching and kicking myself and praying to God I don't wake up from this dream, IF it is a dream. I put my hands in my pocket to get my phone to call my peoples and olelenku, shock horror everything is still in the consulate. And am standing on Limuru rd;400m from the embassy. Still in cloud 9. But I couldn't care less, I was in my zone.
haha utamaduni lol you always take me there. I think churchill would really struggle to dig my non-sense of humour, but thanx tho' my man. I'm stuck in nai for the short run since I have a lot of preparation to go through before lift off. See you in the A
Hahahhaah
my man family...howzit? I was trying to walk the forumites thro' the whole experience of how it was in the consulate. hope I achieved that.no?lol
Been meaning to tell you something but every time it keeps on slipping out my mind. Keep on keeping on, put your mind at ease through this AP, focus (like you posted earlier) on your job, family and businesses. There's only so much you can do to change things now. Trust me when that call comes, you'll be way more happier than you can ever imagine. And the priceless look on your kids' faces, will vindicate all your patience. You'll get the visa family, you deserve it. #Good tidings...

I went on leave to visit my mum and stayed for a whole week; but am back, full swing.
Maybe you could form your own 'barbed wire' from just typing stuff instead of acting it! Think about it...

X-RAY test result show small spot on my lung
Congratulation for all who finished ur interview successfully. Thank you for all who participate in this forum to share ur experience. I got some trouble on the process of medical checkup. On my x-ray result shows that there is small spot on the lung. The doctor told me that it may be a sign of tb. So u need to go further diagnosis: it is so called mucus test. The result will be finished after two month and nine day. I had no sickness throughout my life. Again the doctor told me that, the spot on ur lung is not only the result of tb, but also other kind of sickness on ur childhood that never take any kind of treatment. AND such kind of disease.in addition the doctor told me that 99% ur free from the disease based on ur medical history, however, it is mandatory for the embassy to go further diagnosis (MUCUS TEST).
Please any one who knows any kind of similar story share with us. I know at some extent it will affect on the interview. In this case how the interview in the embassy going. Please share with me. From differnt discussion form in this Website I see one person who had similar story. However, it is not in detail what is going on interview day. i enter in embassy dec, 18, 2013
Advise to other: it is better to go to other hospital and check ur x-ray to test whether tb negative or positive: if u have a tb case at early age.
thank you. .. .. .
