Godia,You can collect your visa in Ksm also not only Nairobi
Thanks for that clarification. I had read about it but wasn't so into the details. Hope Relocation is moving on safely.

My status updated today, still on AP. That means they're working on my case.

Pose,
Now you are talking because its important for us to discuss exactly about the relocation than moving in blindly without adequate preparations. Most of us prepare adquately for the CO but once its done then the reality sets in-----and really there is no one to fill in those blanks for you - apart from YOU.
That said, The Driving Bit.....Who is going to recognize an East African Driving Permit when even our bu Degrees which we did sweat like mad 4 are translated into Diplomaz? Exactly which Driving Permits can apply in US?
Arnold.

MY INTERVIEW EXPIRIENCE
I didn't sleep the night before my interview and so I watched tv till 3.00am in the morning then woke up my family for 'breakfast' and preparations,after that we said a short prayer and left the house at exactly 5.00 am,gettin into the taxi,my husband realizes that he had left the folder with necessary docs and had the least important![so I wasn't the only nervous person]dashed back an got it and we proceeded.We got at embassy at 5;40 am and found four people at the gate but by the time the guards opened we were so many!
We lined up as per our genders and I was the first lady since the ladies I got there had no kids,went through the first security check where they were so friendly,they asked for passports and the appointment letter and a body check for anything dangerous even the kids.We proceeded to the second security check where we waited for 10 min then handed appoint letter pps and the lady ticked our names and I realized that our names were last on that list but then thought it doesn't matter since we were second to get in.Went through the second security check where we left the cds from IOM and our switched off phones and we were given a tag to collect them later, I placed my handbag contain keys coin and kids snack in basin passed thru the check and it was handed back to me [was happy coz I thought they would not allows]
We got to the reception at around 6;30 where we found a Kenyan lady ,handed pps and appointment letter and we were given a number then she handed the passports and remained with appointment letter,I was to wait inside and my hubby outside hehe.around 20 min later,we were called to window 5 by a very nice Cushitic lady who asked for our passports, kcse cert,birth certs,marriage cert,all with copies,police cert original only and recent photos then handed the photos we sent to kcc back,we waited until 7:30 for the cashier to open then paid 1320$ ,gave the receipt to the lady at window 5 and now we had to wait outside[thank God coz my lastborn had started her craziness].
we were outside for around 30 min then we were called to window 8 where the lady took our fingerprints and we sat waiting for our interview.by this time I was taking the gal to the washroom for the 4th time all for nothing!lucky enough the security lady told them to play with the toys near window 1[It was a relief]actual interviews began starting with non immigrants and was surprised that only 2 guys were denied [ I was sitted near the windows I could overhear almost everything]!it was a long wait and the kids had started getting crazy and shouting knowing very well I couldn't hit them it felt like a whole year!
Finally it was time for the immagrants at window 6 and I was hopeful of getting over with the interview and go home,to my surprise!ALL THE PEOPLE that came after me had their interviews before me !!I took nairobbas title and became a wairess x 10!the kids fell asleep and there were few people remaining,just when I was dozing off, my name was called at window 6!!
co:[smiling ]how are you
us:fine thank you
CO:sorry that you had to wait for so long that the babies fell asleep,are they twins?
US;No,they are 3 and 2 years
CO:raise your right hands just a bit and don't drop the kids! and swear that all the infor you have given is true
us:we swear so
Co:So partitas what did you do after high school?
me:did a short course,worked for a year then went back to college.
Co:so,are you still in college/
me:yes I am.
CO:what are you studying?
Me:accounts

we left with our sleeping kids feeling so good but by the time we were collecting our phones,the kids were seriously awake![sensed the happiness]
I thank God so much for he has been faithful,i couldn't wait to turn 18 and start entering the lottery,i did it 4 years and I started to give up,this was the 5th time but it was done by husband while he was entering his,he checked his on first may but he wasn't selected,in our mind we thought if he was all that educated and didn't get selected how could I?i don't know what pushed him to check my entry 3 weeks later and God had done it!!
I thank you my E family for your prayers and because from the knowledge I got from this forum the interview was too easy !!
Almost every lottery winner had their visas approved except for one Kenyan lady who did not include her son while entering the lottery but came with the son for the interview.there was also a Ugandan lady who entered the lottery as single but she was married with 2 kids!her husband was asked if he entered himself as single and he said yes,the only good thin is that he too had filled his kids and they sent forms to kcc as married,however they landed on AP ,the lady was told to request for a confidential result from UNEB sent to the embassy since her case was like of FAMILY 2133.....
thanx very much,its a highlight of the year!may you be blessed tooOMG - Great News for you Partitas - Words are beyond what can be expressed here - The journey has just begun and be Blessed.
