Changing at the CO desk:would the Co request to know the reason and would it in any way determine whether the CO might ask for financial proof?

It depends on the reason for the change. If the address change is from a relative to staying with another host who is a stranger, that would weaken the case, and in that case I would personally change the address at the POE. If on the other hand the change of address offers more financial security, or no difference, I would bring that up at the interview...

Mind you, if you plan to make that change at the POE, don't expect them to ask you if you wish to make the change (like someone came back and reported about not being asked if he/she wanted to change their address at the POE), you may have to initiate that discussion.

Interesting development from the US Embassy - Accra. According to them they expected the DV interview confirmation mail and its still not in as at this morning.. so they took my number and wld give me a call any time it arrived. It could be later today or sometime within the week. Trust me I'm not in a panic mood cos there's nothing to panic about here. So off to the office and wld keep you guys updated. Any similar development in Nairobi or Across Africa?
