Apparently my friend was also selected for further processing in dv2014. I referred him to this forum( I'm really not sure if he has joined yet)
So I asked him what were his KCSE grade n He told me that he attained a Min of C (minus). I did put in to his attention that they require a Min of C (plain) so as to fully qualify, but I told him not to worry coz He's doing his Diploma this Sept that would come to his rescue.
I was later told by one of his frnd that his real KCSE Min grade is D (plain).
So Family u tell me, what else can I do???

Your friend can go through the process and go to the interview. However, Americans mean business. When they say C, they mean C , not C- not D.

 

[Hawi]

My wife won DV2014 and her case number is 2014AF00115XXX. Is there a chance for her to get interview. If so when? Your response appreciated.

High case numbers tend to become current towards the end of the period, so around August 2014. Keep checking the bulletin http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html

 

[Hawi]

thanks my fellow bro &siz hv just called and they said that it wont jeopardize my situation but they also said i can send the forms again is that really necessary? So shld i send all the form or?. Thanks 2 dubai b na wote Gd bls us all

Just follow instructions. If they asked you to send the form, please send it. Once you move to the United States, you will see that Americans don't ask for unnecessary information. They asked you to send the forms for a reason.

Aimanda,

your English is fine. The idea behind the Payment Coupon is that on Day 1 you will pick it from IOM so you can go and pay money at CBA bank at village market which is afew meters away. Also on Day1 you will have the chest X-ray taken and blood drawn for syphilis test after counseling.

I hope this helps

Hi Jorj,

I would suggest you ask your friend to go through the 2013 thread and go through the experiences shared there. Their are a number of people who had C- and were given the visa. He shouldn't give up. Encourage them to go through that thread

 

[aimanda7]

Mates, my first stay in Nairobi will be when I ll come for the medical exams and interview(I m rwandan living in Rwanda) and I ve a relative of mine living in Nairobi, who wants to register for this current 2015 DV lottery, but she don't know where to take required photos, could you please tell me where to take those famous pics??!!
it ll be better if you tell me at least 3 places ...or in down town, may be she ll find the nearest point from where she lives.

Question Hawi....

Just follow instructions. If they asked you to send the form, please send it. Once you move to the United States, you will see that Americans don't ask for unnecessary information. They asked you to send the forms for a reason.

I am in the US on I-20, graduating in December. My case number is current in November. I have sent DS forms indicating that I'll go to Nairobi for Consular processing because I don't want to go out of status. My question is If I start the process here in the US and it takes as long as yours did will I be out of status?

 

[BND]

thank you jonge...i will try to do that even if it takes me some time till i understand the page well

Passport Names Mixup

Hello mates,

I've been quiet on the forum so far but the DV process pace being what it is i am sure we still have time to be acquainted. I wish to have members hack away at my situation: I am the principle applicant ( recently married bytheway ), my hubby and i applied for passports mine has no name issues but he:

1. was previously in the U.S as a minor with passport names: FIRST, MIDDLE, FATHER'SLAST
2. His birth/academic certificates & National ID have: FIRST, MIDDLE, HISLAST
3. In the application for renewal he put his correct names plus an affidavit to support the correction
4. the folks at immigration claim it is unprocedural to remove a name and instead accepted the application with FIRST, MIDDLE, HISLAST, FATHER'SLAST
5. On form DS 230 we put his names as the appear in the birth certificate and FATHER'SLAST as alias/other names used.

so his passport will have 4 names with the LAST NAME as is in U.S Imm records but mismatched with all other entries including DS 230. is this mix-up fatal and if so what can be done to correct it?

Welcome BND!

thank you brother.

Aimanda7,

There is Galaxy studio on Moi Avenue, upper side towards Khoja Mosque near the Post Office, they charge Ksh. 150 and an extra 50 bob for a CD. The other place is Hurlingham next to the Barclays Bank, i forget the name.

Hope this is helpful.

I tend to think that's not such a big problem and it can be fixed by a sworn affidavit from a Commissioner of Oaths pointing out that the bearer of the names is one and the same person.
Mmmh about the marriage?, tell us more about it?, Had you included him in previous online edv form?

A sworn affidavit from a Commissioner of Oaths should be sufficient. It will basically state both persons are one and the same. You also say you are recently married. Does this mean you got married after you were selected? If so you will need to also prove that it is a genuine marriage.
I hope this helps
