Dear forumates,
Am glad to tell u that today I, my wife and daughter won DV Lottery.
The experience of security checks, waiting, fingerprints, payments is not differents from previous ones.
When we face the CO, the american lady asked like 3 questions:
1. what did u study after high school
2.where do u intend to live in US if I accept u a visa
3. any of u had other mariage(s)before, other children

Then she congratulated us and we were given green form to register with DHL for passport delivery but not outside Kenya.

That is all for now.

Hey guys,I reached the embassy at 5:45 am. The gate opened at 6:15. I went through the security check where I presented my passport and appointment letter. I proceeded to the reception desk where my name was checked on the appointment list, then went to another security room, where all electronics items were picked, then proceeded to another building where I was given a number c406 which I would b addressed with..after 10mins my number was called at counter 5 where I presented my passport,birth certificate,kcse cert,good conduct an 1 copy of each document. I also gave out two passport size photos. Then I paid ksh29700 then was told to wait. After 20 mins was called at counter 8 where my finger prints were taken then was told to wait again. After some time my name was called at counter 6 where I was interviewed by a white lady.

I need your advice mates

Mates, my prospective host changed the address, this needs to be corrected if I intent to be hosted by him and I think even the CO will get me well. But now I want to change the host of course with different address.
When shall I do that? If I do this on the day of interview, it won't jeopardize my case?

Aimanda7 your case number must be current right now, its too late to send the change in address or even host to KCC. Just have the address with you when you go for your interview and present it to the CO after interview. No problem should arise!All the best!
 
hy folks hop ya all ok congrats to my fellow mates and God bless you more and for the rest of us lets keep the faith and we shall see his rewards and i believe God has a reason for everything ,remember God loves you be blessed folks

Habakkuk 2:3

For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come
and will not delay.

Yes - you don't need the physical Green Card to be authorized for work - the visa in your passport is fine for the first year and you have your SSN, so you are all set.
