DV 2015 KENYA SELECTEES FORUM

A Question. When getting the Police report they only accept National ID and not the Passport. Will that be a problem during the interview because there is no where DS260 has the ID Number?
 
I have a question. my case number is Af...89Xx.
when am i likely to get the interview schedule.. note i completed my ds 260 in mid august. am from kenya

my daughter,who is one of my beneficiary birth certificate does not have her fathers name on it. what do i do?

We recently changed our physical address.i.e after submission of ds 260. Will this affect our chances of getting visas

1. Your CN is already current but because you submitted your DS form late, interview will be delayed. If you're lucky you may get scheduled with the Jan batch who should be receiving interview notification anytime from today. If you don't get scheduled for Jan, then you may get a slot with the February batch.

2. Nothing. I'm assuming you're not married to the father and you have full custody of the child, and the child has your last name?

3. No, change of address will not impact your chance of getting a visa.
 
Thanks simon.issue number 2 is a bit complicated. yes i did not marry her father. however i married someone else who has allowed her to use his name as surname. we are legally married though and have another kid. will her using his surname complicate the matter

No need to worry:the Embassy is conversant with Kenyan system and they have their own internal system/way of verifying documents-that the reason they are left with the original certificate(Good conduct) plus other attached documents(yours finger prints,receipts )
 
Is TH

A legal marriage is one which has legal documents and followed the due process-so the so called "someone else" is your legal husband and the father of all your children since you have been staying with him-CAVEAT-You may be required to show CUSTODY of the child.

Finally:Is your husband(legal husband) name included in your initial eDV (October application) or you included him later?If yes you are very safe if NO expect some unusual interrogation(we were all interrogated but yours might be more intense-but hope he appeared in your initial edv)

DV 2015 VISA are being issued at the Nairobi Embassy almost on daily basis but a couple of selectees are uncomfortable discussing it in the forum.Yesterday afew of those I met at IOM have been issued and some unregistered members of the forum have informed me on their experiences at the Embassy.

I have been encouraging them to register but they have rather opted to follow from the sidelines.

Today I paid the airline and by Monday/Tuesday will receive the ticket...
I will definitely share new experiences as you remain very close to my heart.
Success to all..

Is the birth father involved in your daughter's life in any way since her birth or is he basically non-existent as far as your daughter is concerned? If he has been involved in some way or has acknowledged in any way that he's the father, you might want to get him to sign a written document (backed with an sworn affidavit) granting you full custody of the child.

If he's never been involved, get yourself a sworn affidavit indicating you're the sole birth and that the birth father has never been in the picture. If the birth father has never been in the picture I don't think the embassy will have an issue with her bearing your husband's last name.

Yes of course. As long as (1) the principal applicant enters before or with the others and (2) everyone has entered before their visas expire.
