    • U.S. Embassy NairobiVincent, you must resolve the issue with your passport, which is the document we rely upon. The passport must match your birth certificate to verify your identity.
 
I had a quick question, I went to boarding school in two different provinces in Kenya after I turned 16. If I recall correctly, in the DS260 , a section said that one must obtain Police certificates from that state if one has lived there more than 6months. I stand to be corrected.
Coming to my question - am I supposed to get my police certificates from different provinces ? or the COGC issued at Mombasa shall suffice.
I Guess the kenya police have centralised records storage system. One should be enough. Also try: http://travel.state.gov/content/vis...re-selected/prepare-supporting-documents.html and go to kenya as a reciprocity country.
You will see that they refer you to cid headquartes Nairobi. If you go there, you will pay 1000 shillings and they will issue you with ONE certificate which i guess covers your stay in the entire country. They are efficient in this.
 
This is the last question i post it is rather interesting....

  • In case i win and i have a fiancee but not yet married and i have to fill the forms and they need a marriage certificate.What will i do so that my fiancee can accompany me?

    • U.S. Embassy NairobiIf you are already engaged but expect to be married before 2016, there is no harm in listing her.

This is totally wrong. And just because they posted it on their website too doesn't mean it is correct. Whoever was answering/posting the response clearly got this one wrong!
 
hi Simon let me ask you when you were scheduling for your medical interview what phone numbers did you use coz the once that am calling no one seams to pick up the phone......
Most of the time they are engaged:
Just scan your bio-data section of your passport and send to the
email :
iomnbomedical@iom.int 0728961835 /0734223030 / 0717718491 .incase you are unable .inbox me I give you their personal numbers.

They will respond to your email the following day-give them your preferred date

Oh My gosh - the person answering questions for the embassy is clueless. I am reading some of them and getting very angry. It's like they have TYT in charge of their facebook account (sorry TYT, I don't mean it in a mean way about you).

Your identification document(Medical & Embassy) from now hence forth is your passport.Dont mind about your ID as long as the passport /Birth certificate is OK. In any case a combination of your ID & BIRTH certificate is what produced the passport.Mine too I dates don't match with passport.(passport & Birth) are correct

Did you make contact with the embassy too to ensure your wife and baby are expected for the interview or you're yet to do that? If your baby shows up without a passport, she/he (and possibly the rest of you) may be put on AP pending when the passport is ready. Do whatever you can to get the passport issued before the interview date.

only one cogc is required regardless of the counties-within Kenya you have lived/visited.but remember to give full history of all places
