congratulations Beth02...when is your interview?
 
What is the shortest period that one can stay into the US then come back to kenya?

Hi Mates,

While we were filling form D230, that section that asks about which family members will enter with you in the states we indicated all, my spouse and child. Now that my husband has landed a big promotion at work, he thinks of ammending this section to say that he will be joining us later. Since our interview is due nearer, i d like your advise by helping get anwers to these questions:

1. Must he enter the states with us
2. If he does, how long must he stay in the states before he can come back to work, without jeopardising his future return and our green card.
3.Is it possible to ammend that section at the embassy on the interview date to say that he will join later.
4. What are the legal implications of these?

Please advise, good people.
 
My friend, this s my point of view according to what I have read carefully

he should enter after, but remember the visa has an expiry date, what he ll not do is to go before you as DV winner
2. If he does, how long must he stay in the states before he can come back to work, without jeopardising his future return and our green card.
He will be free to come back once his passport is stamped at the POE, it means some minutes after you enter the US
3.Is it possible to ammend that section at the embassy on the interview date to say that he will join later.
there s no need , bcs they say that the principal applicant compulsory enter the first or at the same time as his/her family members
4. What are the legal implications of these?


Please advise, good people.

1ST 2014 DV INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE IN THE HOUSE, Author, FAMILY2133.
My family and I woke up at 4 in the morning, prepared our selves, we said our prayers after a song " All to Jesus I surrender"., at 530 am we headed for Odeon to take the matatu to Gigiri, we left odeon at around 5;45am and we reached Gigigri at around 5:50am. we walked slowly to the embassy taking our time(the embassy is just a few steps from the Gigiri bus stop.
We reached the embassy gate at 6 minutes to 6am, we found few people and we were surprised, the Askari opened the gate at 6am exactly( confirming what Guriix said).
Men musululu moja and ladies the same, so ladies were checked by fellow ladies and men by fellow men. within 10 minutes, we were thru with the 1st security check up. We went to the 2nd check up where we left all the metallic materials and the CDs from IOM. we were given a tag which we will use to collect our property on our way out.Here , they consider people with children first so Godia and the other single guys Partitas will go before you however much you arrive early, so being with 2 kids , we were considered first.
When we entered, we were told to proceed to the main desk to pick the number , they told my wife to remain inside with the kids and they told me to go and wait from the outside coldness(men are ever tortured), what to do I went and started another journey of waiting. We waited for like 30 minutes and then our number was called on window 4, we found a Somali lady who told us to present the
1.O-level certificate and a copy,
2.marriage certificate and a copy
3.Police certificate and a copy
4.Passports
6.Recent photos
She asked whether the principal applicant went for further studies after O-level and we said that we have a certificate in IT.
she asked us whether we have ever lived in another country, ever got involved in drug trafficking, how many marriages has each of us ever got involved in,where we answered all these questions. She told us to go and sit and wait for our number to be called again. Another session of waiting started, I went back to where I belong(in the coldness, poor me).
This time, my kid said that he wants to go out with me which I accepted, when we reached outside, the coldness was too much for him so he kept on disturbing the askaris going back inside and coming back outside within in a few minutes, this pissed off the askaris and the ladies at the front desk, I dint know that I had produced the famous Chris Tucker, the boy insisted that he wants to be with dad, so these people had nothing to to bu to let somebodies dad inside, thats when I got saved from the coldness.
We waited for so long and in fact we started getting nervous bcs even the numbers that came after us were called before us, we never lost hope though.
During my reign in the coldness, I talked to some guy who is also a DV winner and he said he did not know about the forum, he seemed so green about most of the DV processes good enough I invited him to join the forum.
Finally, we were called at window 6 and some zungu lady took my finger prints and those of my wife, she said that our finger prints look ok so she will not need to take the children's. She told us to go and wait again to be called to face the CO, this is the time when I remembered that I had not visited the urinals.
We waited and it was not so long when our number names were called to window 8, we got some muzungu lady in her early 40s
CO; I want both of you to raise your hands and swear that whatever you wrote in these documents is nothing but the truth.
US: We swear so
CO: I want the husband to sign these two forms for the kids and his also also, mum sign for yours also.
US: we signed and returned the forms
CO; I can see that this one is O-Level, dint you go for A-Level
we answered in negative and we told her that after O-level, senior five and after S.5, a certificate in IT for one year. She asked whether we have evidence for that, we pulled out the S.5 Reports and the transcript for IT.
She told us that she would love to stay with those documents and verify them before she can approve the visas, which we accepted. She had picked a pink paper but she returned it back instead, she told us that let me give you the passports so that you can return home, we will be in touch either via mail or phone. By the way, where do you intend to stay, we answered Oklahoma, she asked us who lives there and the relationship, we answered.
Before she finally left us to go, she took the IT certificate and showed it to some one behind, she returned it and said safe journey hoke we will be in touch soon.GUYS BE IN CLASS THIS IS THE AP I USED TO HEAR ABOUT.
I called partitas to have a lunchon, the lunch was nice, right now partitas, my family and I are chilling, we plan to travel back to kla today evening.
Guys comments now be in class.

Kenapol,

I am assuming that you're the principle applicant. I suggest that you both including any children go for the interview and the visa's issued are valid for 6 months. Depending on your finances, you can go to the US activate your residency and then come back. Be informed that you can't stay out of the US for more than 12 months. This should provide a short term solution. Long term I am wondering if he will remain given that he 'Landed a big promotion' and the rest of the family moves to the US. This is something the 2 of you need to seriously consider. Remember that moving to the US is no guarantee that you will land a big job on arrival.

I hope this helps

1. It depends who is the principal,coz the principal enters first followed by beneficiaries.
2.You need each other for support,if you have children in order to improve on your income.
3.You host cant support you for long so if you live a separate life its hard.
4.You need to pay your USCIS in good time so do it here in the USA its much easier.
5.By the time you have all your documents,your employer must have given you long leave(2 mnths).
If you will go for 2 years you have to have an RE-Entry permit with good reasons and you need to filll it when you are hear(USA) and it takes time.
6.Its all up to you coz in two years time you would have settled down with your family dont loose that opportunity.
 
Education Level
1.Normally they check your level of education so that when you come here that's the first thing they check if you are applying for a job,so that you are not stranded.
2.If you have done a diploma or a degree you are Ok.
3.They normally think we have not gone to school,like some countries in Africa English is not a language they normally speak or write.

When you come here you have to go back to school and do an English test so that you can join college.
 
USA
1. Jobs are there but it all depends which area you will move to.
2.One needs to humble himself/herself. least paying job is $ 7.25 per hour.
3. You must start with shady jobs like working in a supermarket it depends full time/part time or evening or very early in the morning.
4. You will suffer for a while but once you go back to school and stay focused you will wonder why you dint come earlier.
5. Sleep for now but when you come here sleepless night.
6.Those with family/children two are better than one.
7.Divorce rate here is very high guys need to walk with God,all the best
 
Thanks you Nickelly for your advice.can more dv2013 winners gives more testimonies? why say '''Those with family/children two are better than one'''
