DV 2015 KENYA SELECTEES FORUM

So here we are again.
Cards finally activated, my 2nd attempt to get a DL next.
If you are travelling with young kids, Emirates will not disappoint you.
Again if you are coming to MD, choose IAD- slow but friendly and hassle free.

How many Kenyans did not go to KNEC and verify their KCSE transcript but still got approved?

Some are approved and others are on A. P. For example in our whatsapp group two guys who joined late and had no time to go to knec are on A.P But my opinion go to knec.

Sorry to ask this are you still attending your interview as britsimonsays advised you?

Thanks for the interview experience. If well recorded (like yours) the narratives are educational. In your case the customary marriage aspect caused the CO to ask a number of seemingly unrelated questions - designed to confirm that you are/were truly married. The questions themselves are not important (meaning the amount of money you pay your nanny cannot affect the DV process), but what is important is that you can answer these "rapid fire" questions naturally without hesitation. Your confidence in preparing paperwork, and being honest about everything relaxes you - and to an experienced interviewer they get a feel for those that are relaxed/confident and therefore truthful as opposed to someone who has something to hide. I hope others can take the point...

So - Congratulations and good luck!

I hope you don't mind but I plan to use your narrative in my blog to help educate others...

went for my driving skills retest today and did it good. was a bit tricky as school buses kept stopping bang in the middle of the road without any warning at all. Beware about that as its very costly to be involved in any misdemeanor involving a school bus.
The most interesting part came at the end when I went to pick the DL only for me to find that it was actually ready three months ago when I took the very first test. I found it a bit confusing but I did not want any fuss about it so I just paid , picked and Left.Only that this messed my planning .
A baby step at a time is the name of this game
 
It will be exactly three months this coming Tuesday 8th September Since I arrived in the USA(P.O.E Raleigh NC)I just want to give an update to forum members and encouragement as well.The America dream is real for those that work hard..I am now completing my Certification in Nursing aid course.I also got a partime job..This is my second month in the job.A friend Co signed for me to get vehicle finance and I managed to get a 2012 model vehicle.This is not only helping me to move around but I am now able to build my credit history more faster and easily.Credit history /score is very important here.

Glad to hear it is all going well!
 
Hi Folks,

I'm a DV 2016 winner (AF201600012***). Not sure whether this is the appropriate forum to post DV 2016 but all-in-all, let me be the first :). I have an urgent querry,
1. Birth Cert. I don't have an original coloured copy. I'm adopted and have a copy of the adoption letter attached to the birth cert copy. Will this suffice at the interview or do I need to attain an original copy.

Thanks folks.

Regards.
