need advice....

First of all.... I am so greatful to God for this wonderful opportunity. I have been in the US studying and will graduate this Dec. I have been applying for Dv for more than a decade. God's ways are amazing. He waited until I complete my studies. So anyway... I chose to go for the CP instead of AP becoz I am graduating in Dec and I hear AP takes so long... so I wouldn't want to go out of status. I need to know however how early I shd travel back home to complete all those KNEC, police and medicals... roughly... If i find out my interview will be early January... when is the latest I should jet in?

Thanks

Congratulations Notez and I do admire your persistence/perseverance. For starters I think you meant AS (Adjustment of Status) instead of AP (Administrative Processing). Those aliens who seek an immigrant visa and live outside of the United States must undergo consular processing. However, those who are living in the United States on a different type of non-immigrant visa may choose to adjust their status without leaving the United States or seek their immigrant visa from a U.S. consulate abroad through consular processing. It is indeed true that CP takes a shorter time and they both (AS & CP) have pros and cons.
AP (Administrative Processing) on the other hand is when a visa application requires further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a Consular Officer. see link below for more info:

Well based on statistics from the previous years, you should have your interview in August of next year. This implies that you will most likely receive the 2NL in mid June. I suggest you find your way back to Kenya towards the end of May and begin chasing all the necessary documentation.

Please note that I am not a lawyer. I hope this helps.

Well Jonge i think Notez should be current by now looking the case number which is in the 7000's and not 70000's.

hi olelenku...all those certs have to be taken by you to the embassy.and that'll b wen ur interview will be carried out. Only the confidential KCSE results will be sent prior to the interview date.

thanks Nairobba...didnt know you are also one of the gurus...should have mentioned ...then my understanding is that the confidential results should be sent by KNEC at least 2 weeks prior?
 
naa am not a guru...i just read other peoples' experiences and also the in4 from travel.state.gov directed to selectees on what to do to prepare for the interview. I think the best thing to do is to have the confidential results sent in soon as you get the 2NL, and keep tracking it to the consulate until you are sure they are in possession of it. #my2cents## ;)

That's true. You should visit Knec Offices 2 wks prior to your interview date for them to send your confidential results.

No, you don't have to contact the Embassy. Your 2nl will have all the details about your Interview.
But if you have to reschedule(Which ofcourse i don't recommend) or If you have any question regarding the Interview you can contact them.

Well Jonge i think Notez should be current by now looking the case number which is in the 7000's and not 70000's.

Thats true gh50, Notez should be current already if his CN is in the 7000s. So he'll probably receive his 2nl letter after the next visa bulletin if he has not yet received one. Same goes to Olelenku...
