Hello guys,
Good morning to you all!
Just a quick one; is it OK for guys from Uganda to instruct DHL to send their packets to DHL Uganda; as opposed to DHL Kenya?
I am told that one has to wait a few more days before the parcel gets to them; and yet if I must return to work, I may not have so much time on me.
Please advise me (and a friend of mine whose interview is tomorrow!).

Thanks.

Let this friend of yours share with us his/her medical and interview experience

Just my two cents: While there is a lot of excitement and anxiety when we find out we've been selected for further processing we still need to pay attention in how one fills the DS forms... Ensure that you follow the instructions to the letter. Sometimes one finds him/herself in AP because of an omission or giving wrongful info.

Those still waiting for their second notifications do so patiently as Makiki (DV2013) used to put it in this process patience has to be literally worn... Whenever you contact KCC they update that on your case file so unless it is absolutely necessary avoid too much back and forth with them.

They take time to study what you have filled in your forms and may even do a background check.... Ensure you prepare for the interview well thats why they give time before sending the 2nd NL... Get all the necessary docs that will help with your case...

I wish all you the best as you prepare to embark on this journey to the USA.

God Speed...

KaiaUG,

it should be possible but this is something we from Uganda should explore. I remember doing so with the Canadian Embassy in Nairobi. I registered with DHL Uganda and the embassy sent it.

KaiaUG,

From the information on the US embassy website, it only indicates DHL Kenya locations for visa/passport pickups. It wouldn't hurt to write to the embassy and inquire on the possibility of delivering to UG. Uganda1 from DV 2013 thread wrote that he got a temporary travel document before leaving UG, came for the interview then immediately left for Kampala. When the visas were ready he took the bus back minus the family and picked the visas.



This link is helpful for dhl pickup.

Thank you, all for your input.
I have managed to talk to DHL Uganda and was told that at a fee of 89,000 Ugshs, the parcel can be transfered from DHL Kenya to DHL Uganda. I guess that's much cheaper than having to travel back to Nairobi or even staying an extra 2 days in a hotel. What I would like the forum to think about and contribute your thoughts is the safety of the parcel! What do you guys think? Would you trust the DHL with your parcel? We trusted them with our docs to KCC, didn't we? Just troubleshooting.

In terms of travel documentation, I would recommend getting a temporary travel document as well as your passport. If you are Ugandan, you can get that for 5k at Port Bell, go with a photocopy of your passport and some passport photos. Explain that you need it, b'se your passport will be held by the US embassy for visa processing when you want to travel. Once they give it to you, use this document even when you are going to kenya, b'se when exiting, they will want to see the entry stamp, and you can't say that it is in the passport which has stayed behind. So, like in my case, where they have kept the passports for processing, I'm able to come back and spend the time in UG, going on with stuff I have to do, kids back in school etc and then will only go back by myself to pick up the passports. (Which by the way, I'm requesting to be sent by DHL to Kisumu. That is just a 1-day round trip by road from Kampala).

Response from Uganda1 from DV 2013, might be useful to those coming from Uganda for the interviews..

KaiaUG,

the documents should be safe. I had my passport sent to the Canadian Embassy in Nairobi and also registered for return service and it came.
