Thanks-Brits-I woke up at 11am usa time thinking the night is over-just to be told you have some more hours to sleep
Have just spoken to my family back in Kenya(at 6.30 am kenyan time) and are really really happy about my safe journey.
Let me CALIBRATE my BRAINS now.
 
@Simon. you are a kenyan citizen residing in usa. n thanks to dv 2015. ... hence all of the above :)
Ha Ha Ha: I was just joking in reference to an earlier exchange between moderators and I think ettoo on who should/shouldn't post- any way...wish all of you success in your upcoming interviews
Today is the day the Lord has granted our Simon from kenya to travel.Those in nairobi are meeting in the aftrenoon for a send-off party near the airport...lets join our hands in jubilation....
The SPIRIT of brotherhood the Kenyan dv 2015 showed AMAZED me:without prior notice I started receiving calls for direction to the send -off -party venue which was hurriedly arranged;
I came face to face with the dv selectees-WE WERE ALL UNMASKED

Hello,

Say if one relocates within the country and also gets a new job before the interview or 2NL . Will that in any way affect the unlocking of DS260 ? I mean , does one need to unlock it to update info on the new job and physical address ?

Thanks and Regards
Depends much on how close your Interview is and the sensitivity of the Job and location:
1. Your case number : If the duration of the new found job and expected time of interview has a difference of 6 months -you better unlock and re-submit
2. Physical address : In Kenya and particular the coastal and North Eastern region
where Alshabab have been radicalizing the youths are not the best place
RE-LOCATE to prior to your Interview (BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEM IF YOU'R
CURRENTLY RESIDING & WORKING THERE) Please get me correctly
3. Job: Some jobs are too sensitive and may require some probing..
At the point of entry (POE) I was required to state my movement pattern while in Kenya.I said haven't moved from my earlier stated place

Thank you Simon for the wonderful information that you have provided. Does one need any extra money just in case you need to connect to the host place (taxi, train or public transport) or you are not picked by the host or for any other emergency or any other unforeseen eventuality and any other expenses. How do you access internet., does that mean you need to move with a laptop to USA or are there cyber cafes or are the houses connected with internet.
