Thanks so much. Sorry to ask again, what does this mean, i got it from the (Green card lottery dates and deadlines DV2014-DV2016). IT SAYS, " First day KCC accepts emails at kccdv@state.gov for winner status" Which emails are these?

you are suppose to follow instruction from your first notification letter which shows you are selected for further processing,do you have it?
 
the fighter said:
Hi am new in this forum, after one has been selected as a winner, when do you fill the DS 260 form? Do you send it immediately or one has to be notified by e-mail? Because have read many articles which say, as soon as you are selected make sure you fill the DS 260 as soon as possible?

That's the problem when people begin to over think the process when they haven't been selected. Most of what you read will make no sense for now, so you need to wait to be selected first. If you're selected, your notification letter will answer these questions you're asking.

What is required from the host, that is needed to be presented during the interview?

That you have a host- experience in Nairobi embassy shows that maybe that is all you need.
Have gone through the earlier pages of this thread well? It has quite number of interview experiences of people who got the visas , plus much more that might be useful to you.

hi another question am the principle applicant my husband is in military nairobi and we want to travel together if we manage to get a visa.it seems my interview will be on september,how will it go because he is not suppose to resign before visa approval,and the embassy will require resignition letter before given visa. will they put us on AP?

If your interview is in September and you get put on AP there is a high chance you would lose out as any visa must be issued before 30 September, and it usually takes a few weeks to resolve even simple AP cases. If you are sure you cannot get a visa without a discharge form then yes you would be put on AP, or maybe you would get your visa but your husband on AP. this sounds like a very tricky situation...

For Nairobi embassy what do they require? Saw somewhere in @Britsimon blogg an affidavit from the sponsor maybe required, anyone whose case was successful via Nairobi embassy kindly clarify for me this.

Spend some time on this Thread to find old posts from people who already attended their interview and narrated what was required.

Good to hear from you! So it sounds as though it was not the easiest start, I guess especially with that cold winter, but it sounds like things are improving now! I am sure they will continue to do so :) Good luck for your driving test!

Very good of you to come back. This thread needs us to keep at it at least until DV 2015 closes and perhaps beyond.
Relocation is not easy and you have done well to find your bearing' never mind about your host and be happy about the least s/he did for you.

I am headed there too - Baltimore and I am glad to here that you too are in MD.
Three requests:
the headstart program is it available in schools or kids have to be picked first ? I hope it is affordable.

The medica care program for kids-is it available at any time of the month or is it lime Obama care which has i think, Feb deadline?

Did you take an international drug ng licence or DMV there accepts the Kenyan DL for a while?

While I can't answer MD specific questions, I can tell you that immigration is a "life changing event" which allows you to enrol for medical insurance outside of the normal enrolment period. So you will be able to enrol when you arrive.

By the way an international drivers licence is almost never worth getting - it is not actually a licence, all it really is, is a translation of your licence into however many languages. Your actual licence will continue to be your Kenyan one until you get a MD one.

Seems as long as your Kenyan licence is in English, which I presume it is, it wil be fine:
