Todays devotion
haggai 1;13
Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you, says the Lord.” So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God, .

remember God loves you be blessed folks

Dear Mates,let us brain storm on how a typical dv immigrant preparation checklist would be
Click to expand...

very good discussion you are opening for us Family 2133,


Hi!

For interview?

Passport
1st and 2nd NL(and copies)
2 Passport pics (less than 6 months old) American pp size
Police Certificates for all places you lived at age 18 years of age and above and copies
Medical Certificates and copies?
Birth Certificates and copies
330$ for Visa
High School Certificate equivalent of your country and copies.(If qualifying with education)
Diploma /degree certs if any and copies


For preparing to do the big move! for a family/working person some points to look into would be:

This is gonna be quite challenging!!its limitless,

1.Confirm with IOM the best deals and best time to go after your interview. This helps save you $$$

2.Try accumulate and save at least $10,000 savings if going as a family especially. If as a single person the amount can be less. This will help out before one settles.

3. Establish and keep in close contact with host to ensure you are on the same wavelength about staying with them and helping you settle and get started.
4. Wind down whichever transactions/ affairs you need to before moving. Where applicable for affairs which cannot be wound down are ongoing, appoint a trusted person to overlook your affairs.

5. Depending on one's job get as much time to sort out what you will leave, logistics of where they shall be taken to, and also determine what you will be going with ESPECIALLY clothing for cold weather if you are going during Winter. Its cheaper to go with things here than buy there when you have to count every penny you spend.Keep in mind your LUGGAGE limit depending on the flight carrier.

6. Give sufficient notice of resignation to ensure you get your dues to the last penny and sufficient notice of vacating the house if the whole family is going with you to ensure you get your rent deposits.

7....the list is endless...

Its been a while since I posted. Hi guys. I know God has been proving himself faithful to y'all. He has been good to me. I managed to get an appointment at the embassy after my original one was cancelled due to evacuation exercises in South Sudan. Good thing I had a letter from my US employer giving the last date I was expected to get to work. The embassy granted me the visa expeditedly as a result and I made it back to the US and to work in good time. Pole Nairobba for your loss. Only God can give us the strength to believe that we have gone through such a hard time. I pray for His strength for you and your family. All the best to those heading here. Job advice: Think Big but be ready to start low. The good thing with the US is that even with the jobs that seem low scale you can survive until you get to the next job. God bless you guys. He is good and faithful.

Thanks for your kind words notes, Its not easy but with people like you and every other person in this forum dishing kind words of comfort, it gets easier to cope and try to get our footing as a family. Your words really are like a lifeline, we cling on to them and hope that God will provide us the comfort that only He can. I may come to philly to visit, I have friends there, if you can come around too it would be awesome.@@@

Olelenku is not giving us any feed back. I am planning early April, still looking for tickets of 4 and extra $ to move with. How is IOM, we are 2 adults and 2 Kids all in 2-11yrs age category. IOM Uganda was damn expensive. I have not yet booked.
Let me send the number to Partitas.

This is very good, thank you. It will help many for better preparations. Others can add on the list, because its hard for one person to exhaust the list.

Just make sure that if you have any connection flights they are at least a couple of hours apart. The guys at the airport sometimes carry-out tests on those things and they won't let you go until the results a through. This is of-course if they have never seen them...
