Thank you so much, atleast you have logged in to congratulate me, I am so pleased.:eek:
 
Mates I need your advice
A friend of mine, a dv 2004 winner with CN 60xxx has the intention of getting married in this up coming June, and he wonder how much time it will take to his prospective wife to join him in USA. In case visa is issued in July, he plans to leave in August after kicking off reunification process in the embassy. Remember, to avoid whatever can jeopardize his case he didn't fill any form for her fiancée before marriage.

Hi Olelenku, I don't know if any one answered your question? From my experience I have seen some carry Ketepa Tea........and successfully passed through customs. The worst that can happen if they randomly stopped your Luggage. The FDA guys(Food and Drug Administration) would simply ask you to either pay duty for them if too many packs or surrender them if you can't afford...Secondly worst scenario is to quarantine the Ketepa Tea, Thus if they suspect any health risk to the general population( Americans) or the environment but tea does not carry killer diseases...lol from my small research I believe if its not processed then Tea is not allowed into the country....

So I would say carry them as well as Royco etc..some People are caught with delicious things like dry frog legs, raw turtle heads, BBQ rats etc..for those into fear factor food stuff like the Chinese :)...so yours is a walk in the park. Hope this helps!!!

For more info check this site for what to carry or not..

and this pdf go to Table 3-148 where they talk about tea.

hahaha!!!ati BBQ frogs and turtle heads and frog sgwembe!!my man what kind of sorcery is this??This is witchcraft buwaana!!haha I've laughed so hard you have no idea. I remember watching on telly very recently an Iranian woman who was stopped at the airport in JFK and asked to open her luggage. Onions...tomatoes...chopping board and skimmed milk!!!and she could speak no english. They were just confiscated and she was asked to bounce along without them. It was quite funny. I'm trying to imagine olelenku being frozen at the airport coz of carrying neem...I'll laugh at him for the reat of his life.

God is Great. I'm happy for the favor God has put on us from Kenya and neighbouring countries. I have experienced it personally too. My visa was granted. Praise Jesus!!!!

Another top top news!!!Congrats Notez, I was a bit worried that your case might be pushed to the backseat like some the previous years. If it's not too much to ask you can let everyone know how you managed to reschedule your interview successfully. Someone might run into similar challenges up ahead you never know..

Your friend is looking at an average of 2-5 years before the wife gets her GC. Although new immigration reforms being proposed might make it possible for spouses to no longer be separated for the entire duration of the processing time - but there's no guarantee how soon this might come into effect.

Having said that though, you might want to advice your friend to wait until after his interview before getting married. If they later find out he was married (even for one month) and he claimed to be single at the time of the interview, his GC can still be withdrawn and he would end up being deported. When he files for his wife, his own record would also be reviewed, which means there's a high possibility of the marriage date being flagged.

I do that alot too...everytime I zone off aka kuzubaa I find myself wondering how I got to where I are. I slap myself often too; I have appendage marks right across my cheeks, everytime someone looks at me they think I'm a victim of GBV (gender based violence). I'm in awe. Full time. My jaw is always slack, my mouth always agape. I don't know how I got here, I honestly don't. Maybe one of these fine days I'll get an answer. Just maybe...

Yes, I remember that I skipped my lunch to read your interview experience. Congrats my friend. Yes possibly we can meet in the US. Truly we have much in common. I will inbox u for the email. We thank God for what He has done for you and your family. God bless you more.
 
Congratulations Family, you are lucky to get early interview that you could survive those days of AP, but CN like me who might get interview in August and September cannot survive that long AP period, God Bless and have a safe trip
