Today Devotion
Romans 8:24-25
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
Remember God loves you and your miracle is on your way

Hi all,
I have not been active on the forum so i guess the least I can do is post our experience.
My wife (Principle) and I applied as single in 2012 although engaged at the time. Got married in April, continued with life and forgot all about the DV application until someone from a cyber cafe sent my wife a message on facebook confirming if she is indeed emmy10 and if she could call his tel ASAP. She did, some time in the middle of may. We searched the net wondering if she should go alone, give it up or try our luck as married couples. In the middle of june we prepared the forms and sent to KCC without a marriage certificate because it had misspell on my names.
-July got my Birth Certificate names corrected (another misspell)
-July my wife gets copy of Birth Cert because she lost original
-Nov got passports renewed
-Same week got an affidavit for different names on ID and Birth cert,
-A week later returned my passport (more name issues) which was corrected
-My wife looses Birth Cert with Immigration stamp!
-January got Police Clearance for us both
-February 2 NL received
-Original Birth certificate for my wife is found (with no Stamp)
-Finally picked Wedding album from photo guys!
-March 2 weeks to interview messed my matatu strike; arrive at IOM 5 hours late literary the last guys to start medicals that day
-Paid for confidential results at NEC
-5 days to interview NEC never processed request since payment is 2,000 + 320 VAT
frantic- paid balance and crossed fingers
-4 days to interview, visited lawyer to notarize Birth certificates, KCSE cert and Marriage Certificate.
also to prepare affidavit for 4 different names on my Passports, ID, Birth certificate and Marriage Cert!
-1 day to interview print 85 pages of emails, facebook txts spanking 4 years; get bank statements for my wife; arrange receipts to show wedding payments and traveling (we lived apart for some time); printed photos before during and after marriage with friend and family; slept at 3 am
Interview day
-Woke up at 4.30 made sure all documents are packed and filed in sensible order
-Got Village market matatus, alighted at UN avenue
-at the US embassy gates at 6.30 and found the proverbial queue; women on one side men the other. carry your passport and 2 N.L to enter the first security gate.
-Queued for 20 minutes here; drizzled a bit; made joke about being rained on because no-one gets in without a thorough security check
-second queue inside the embassy gate (First gate) I is really cold here they have not exaggerated. If you have children dress them warmly then carry extra. Lady checks your appointment and okays you to a 3rd waiting queue. took 45 minutes to an hour.
-Enter a secure sealed room in batches of five (works like an air lock). Leave all electronic, metalic, CDs etc here. If you carry liquids you will be asked to take a sip! finally body screen and out in to the embassy grounds.
-Went in through the entrance (Looks just like a small bank lobby) at front desk asks for Letter and passports; Gives a small paper for applicant to feel details and queuing token. went bank outside in a nicish waiting area and wait for the token number to be called.
-wait for about 30 minutes: called to window 8 with a Foreign lady:
-Lady: Hi are you Ammy10
-Wife: Yes
-Lady: Is that your husband?
-Wife: Yes
-lady:When did you get married:
-wife: After DV application before results were out
-Lady: Ever been outside Kenya
-Wife: No but husband has brrrrrrrr
-Lady: How long
-Wife: Brrrrrr
-Lady to me: type of visa and why
-me: brrrrrrrr
-Lady: Place your four fingers and then thumb for prints
- we do; she asks for: Copies and originals of: Birth, KCSE and marriage Certificates; then asks us if we read and understood the qualifications. She then asks we pay and bring back receipts. We pay in dollars (good idea and cheaper but be careful of fakes).
we are then asked to wait outside.
-Waited for 20 minutes then called for prints again. waited outside another 30-45 minutes
-Called at some window for interview.
-CO: Place your fingers to confirm prints again. (we do, Types into console for some time)
-CO: Swear that the information you have given is the truth ( wee do)
-CO: What did you do after high school?
-Wife: campus brrrrrr
-CO: How long di you know each other before marriage?
-Wife: brrrrrr
-CO: Sir what did you study in campus?
-me: brrrrrrr
-CO: ahhh like accounting?
-me: no like brrrrrrr (Typed some more)
-CO: Where do plan to stay if i grant you a visa
-Wife: With brrrrrrrrr in brrrrrr
-CO: (typed for some time smile for the first time) Congratulations, your Visa is granted!
-Wife: Thank you!
-CO: register at DHL separately, here is brrrr and make sure BRRRRRRR. she returned all documents except KCSE cert.
-The End -
Things i noted about the process
-use you original Birth certificate if possible (My wife's had no stamp from immigration and mine had a misspell and missing name
-Get an affidavit to show changes in spelling or name order etc
-notarize the documents they ask you to bring
-arrive earlier than scheduled (it will save you queuing time)
-the interview for DV applicants is straight forward do not lie
-convert your fees to dollars ahead of interview, it is cheaper and less bulky
-prepare all documents ahead of time and keep them safe
