DV 2015 KENYA SELECTEES FORUM

@Britsimon do we need the form i-134 during the interview?

In all DV cases (in fact all immigrant cases) there is an underlying need to satisfy the CO that you will not become a public charge - i.e. you might be asked to explain how to you will support yourself. Some embassies and COs ask for this, some don't and, I am sure, this varies according to the situation of the selectees. Some embassies routinely ask for it, but others, such as Nairobi generally do not ask for it (but could).

The Nairobi website says this "Note that the I-864/I-134 Affidavit of Support does not apply to DV applicants, unless the Consular Officer specifically requests one at the time of the interview."

So, they generally won't rely on it, but the point is they might ask for it (or proof of savings and so on). If you cannot provide that at the interview you could be placed on AP while you obtain the proof - and if you find that happening in September, you can pretty much kiss your visa goodbye. So - is it likely you will be asked for it in Nairobi - no, it is not likely, but do you want to risk not having something to prove your ability to support yourself - your choice.

thanx @Britsimon .....To be on the safe side we better have it ready. All the same it will cost nothing to prepare it
 
My sponsor called the Kentucky consular asking them if they will send interviews according to case numbers,they told her that they will be sending interviews on first come first served basis and so they will not be following numbers,they gave her a reason to this was because some of the selected failed to submit their application due to lack of funds so when they follow case numbers other cases appear dormant so lets pray they don't follow case numbers...
 
Hello Team,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who advised me about my DS 260. Yesterday they UNLOCKED it, now I will take my time! Please team, I will still come up with a lot of questions depending on how things are moving with me.....I don't want to make mistake again this time..... :)

I wasn't going to reply to this but I see it's already influencing people.

I just don't believe this. You or the caller have misinterpreted what you were told. There is no way they will give up the case number system. They have been doing it since day one and without it there'd be a chaotic mad rush and it would be impossible to manage the flow of visas by region properly. They would be harassed by a hundred thousand people asking when their interview will be.

The order of selection is as per the case number cutoffs posted in the visa bulletin. That's the way it is and always will be.

@guestgulkan....To add on that, when first I submitted my DS260, I got a reply telling me that my DS 260 will be kept in the file until my visa number will be available......it really connect to your point here :)!

You have put 2 plus 2 together and come up with 78.

Case numbers are what drives the order of processing - on a month to month basis. So - someone who had CN AF60xxx and submitted their 260 form online before anyone else in the world would still end up waiting until their number is current.

@Naff i think they shall still have to follow case numbers to a certain degree. Maybe what your sponsor was told was that in the event that one's case becomes current within the VB, then the cases within the VB parameters for that period shall be worked on on a First submit first serve basis. End of. But I could be wrong.
 
while filling the ds 260, what do i fill for the street address in the kenyan case? do i use the post office box number?

Dont create problems for yourself....there is more to fear about than the form I-134 because no one will ask you for it if you are a DV winner

I don't understand why you keep posting these comments.

The CO MAY ask for the proof of funds and an I134 might therefore be requested/presented. That is clearly spelled out in the rules that govern the DV lottery AND clearly spelled out in the instructions for DV2015 and other DV years AND clearly spelled out on the Nairobi US embassy website AND clearly spelled out on a Q&Q session on the US embassy FB page.

But apparently you know better than the rules, the instructions, the embassy website and the US embassy representative. Really?

If your parents are deceased, indicate so. No death certificate or any other proof of their death is required.
