DV 2018 Kenya Selectees

Some important info from travel.state.gov. As always don't be in a rush to fill in the DS-260. Take your time so you don't make mistakes that might end up being costly in the end.

DV-2018 and DV-2017 Program Applicants
The principal applicant and all family members applying for a diversity visa in the DV-2017 and DV-2016 program must complete Form DS-260. You will need to enter your DV case number into the online DS-260 form to access and update the information about yourself and your family that you included in your DV entry.

If your family circumstances have changed after you entered the lottery, for example, if you have gotten married or had a child, you will need to add your new family members to your case. (“Family member” refers to a spouse and/or unmarried children who had not reached age 21 before you entered the lottery.)

Important note: If you had a spouse or children prior to submitting your original entry, but you did not include them on your original entry form, then your case will be disqualified at the time of your visa interview. Neither you nor any of your family members will receive visas. For more information, see the DV Instructions.

After submitting the Form DS-260 online, print the confirmation page. You must bring the confirmation page to your visa interview.

Please be aware that KCC can only tell you if your form has been processed. KCC cannot tell you whether or not you or your family members are qualified for diversity visas. Only the consular officer who interviews you can make that decision.

Contacting KCC: If you need to contact the KCC, always include your name, birthdate and case number exactly as they appear in the Entrant Status Check (ESC). Your case number should be clearly written in the upper right hand corner of your e-mail or in the subject line. KCC only receives inquiries by phone or email. Do not mail paper documents or correspondence to the Kentucky Consular Center. All paper documents or correspondence received will be destroyed. The KCC telephone number is 606-526-7500 (7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. EST). The e-mail address is KCCDV@state.gov.

So how does the interview go?

Interview is much much easier than the preparation. The most important thing is to be very careful about every little detail. Make sure that for every answer, the corresponding documents match to the last letter. Any misspelling can cause very irreversible problems. Names on the education papers must match Passport etc. I suggest you gather all your documents first before submitting the DS260.
On the day of interview, the interview lasts no more than 5 mins. Its just a kind of confirmation about who you are and if you know what you filled in the application.
"whats your name, Date of birth, Year you completed High school, if you have other children you didnt include.
Simple questions like that and its done.
Its more of a confirmation interview but at the same time, any small mistake can cost you heavily.
 
Indeed, the critical aspect of the process is collecting all the required paperwork. The interview is basically just a rubber stamp IF everything is in order.
