Once you enter and your passport is stamped, you can go back to kenya as long as your don't stay beyond one year. ensure you pay USCIS so that you have the permanent resident card. if you stay more than a year you loose your entrance permit to the USA. this will also affect you when you want to apply for citizenship. so its up to you to make a decision if you want to pursue this dream .

I guess you can choose DHL Kisumu...thats gonna be more fair to you bro....plus did u check on ur receipts abt the refund?
How far is Kisumu from Kla; in terms of hours? If this works for Family2133; I think we shall also use the same. It's a cheaper option am sure.
Also, must it be the principal applicant to be pick the Passports from DHL? I am wondering if I could send my husband to pick them since he would be more willing to travel than I
But i urge Family2133 to use this option; it sounds much better.
Yes they can

Hi Jonge
Thanks for your quick response, Seems this journey is an up hill task, it has so many twisted turns and corners. I will try and chase that info asap, will start by calling the embassy Monday morning.
Have a blessed weekend.

kla to kism i think should be six hrs drive minus border hustle if you have private means then you can do five hours.
You dont have to pick the visas ur self just send ur husband with an authorizing letter to pick on ur behalf and a copy of ur Identification document. If u have kids add copies of birth certificates and they will gladly give him. Ensure he confirms every details. The document should be error free if not resend them there n then.
Be patient what is the hurry. Relax no hurry in Africa
Rules
There are rules here,ensure when you come you follow the rules. First and foremost you are booked in the data system its not like Kenya where by files disappear. You have to have an ID,SSN and then your Permanent Resident Card. Then get a job,. The good conduct is to ensure you have never committed a crime in your Home Country so it has to be within 6 Months. Be ready to have sleepless night before you establish yourself. last but not least carry enough Money

Your welcome utamaduni,
the journey is indeed full of twists and turns that one has to be aware of. By the way calling the embassy won't help. Start by visiting the link below and select the country and follow instructions of how to acquire the Police Certificate. I will also need to start processing a Police Certificate from the Netherlands in January 2014.

HI JONGE
Thanx for the link, I checked it out. I also did abit of research this is what I found out (The UK police do not issue "certificates of good conduct" or "police clearance certificates", however in our experience foreign embassies will generally accept a police reply under the subject access provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 as a suitable equivalent.) In short they offer police certificate! I hope this will do for my interview and they won't put me an AP. Cheers

USCIS Immigrant Fee
Hello house!!! some bad news
Just got this from the Ghana thread seems all DV winners will part with an extra US$165 after successful interview. Seems you will pay the cash before arriving in USA. The cash is the fee associated with the cost of producing the GC.. the plastic card. It seems as if its per head US$165, but I stand to be corrected. Put this in your budget of relocation. They reduced the visa fees in 2011, I guess they have raised it up again in a different way.
