DV 2015 KENYA SELECTEES FORUM

[Jonge]

U mean to say that I will not get interview for dv 2015?

The chances of being interviewed with AF87*** are NOT nil...however as someone already said, do enter DV2016. Personally I do think the cutt-off this DV2015 will be about 85 - 90K. We will need to look at the CEAC data and study the visa issuance trends for the next couple of months. The exclusion of Nigeria should in my view should give those with high CNs a chance... If Ethiopia is managed separately and not included into the rest of AF like DV2014, I am sure you will stand a chance as well

sorry shamah about this, but at least you are aware of the situation early and can plan accordingly. I wish the US wouldn;t raise peoples hope by notifying them they've won a green card then dashing their hopes by selecting too many people.

P.S. Simon my friend responded that she can sponsor me. I can now finalise sending out my application and wait for the next step!

Where in your selection notification letter does it say you or anyone has "won a green card"????

okay so the letter doesn't say that but its commonly called a green card lottery and over here when you win the lottery we say you've won a green card. The truth is me and most of the people I know are naive when we apply for the "DV" lottery and have no idea what a merry go round you get on once you win. It is what it is let me stay positive

Yes ,I agree with you that over this side, When we get selected ,we say we have won green card although our conscious is aware that its the beginning of a long process.

Ok but to be fair your naïveté is not the US government'/ fault. Every single piece of official information, from the lottery instructions through to the selection letter, is very clear about what you have actually won (ie a possible chance to interview for a green card and that nothing is guaranteed). If you had read the instructions before entering you should not be surprised...

Hi
The marriage certificate- i think you need, to have that certified at the marriage section, registrar general's office, meaning the attorney general's office i.e sheria house. Am sharing with you what the people at ag's office advised when i told them i am going for a us visa interview.
How much did you pay for the photos at v/market?
i see you have a 2nd NL! Best wishes.

 

[usken go]

I did an e-mail to the nairobi US embassy on the financial ability/ affidavit and this is what they said "Please note that Form 1-864/1-134, Affidavit of Support is not required for Diversity Visa cases"...................... I have quoted verbatim ie copied and pasted.
All said, one will need a host in the us- very important.

 

[koechf]

for those who are married, what do they mean by marriage certification which is certified. is it really necessary as long as it is an original. any one with a good advice.

Case scenario: bad chq $300+ written 1987, nolle proseque entered. Case disposition available. 4 traffic tickets not involving dui,dwi..fines paid and receipts available. All mentioned in ds260. Your opinion?[/QUOTE
Sometimes, it's good to let sleeping dogs lie. Police report is supposed to be the one talking for you. I have never seen the new ds260. This all shows you to be unstable in your dealings. Sorry but you might find yourself on AP for sometime.

The requirement is that one needs to be truthful and so the reason for stating it.
