Read the instructions carefully. I'm pretty sure they tell you to leave out any special characters (that would be anything that is not a normal Latin alphabet letter) but you need to check and confirm that.

True SusieQQQ. Mine DS260 initially came with names prefilled. When I clicked next, it gave me instructions to remove charecters from my name. Which I did.

Once you get your 2nd notification, you'll need to go to Extelcomms House on Haile Selassie Avenue and ask KNEC to send a verification report of your KCSE results directly to the embassy, so when you go for your interview they already have a copy of them. I wrote a blog about it then, will try find it.
 
Got a question about vaccinations. I see guys say that many times expensive at the IOM.

So,
1.) Can I get them at ANY hospital? Or does the IOM recognise specific hospitals? Please feel free to recommend hospital that I can go to.
2.) On the DS260 form there is a question "Do you have records to establish that you have recieved vaccination in accordance with US Law?" Will I be negatively affected since at the time of filling the form I havent got the vaccinations?

Go to any city council clinic, they should be free or for a very minimal fee.. it doesn't matter where you got them as long as you have them.. it saved me a few thousand shillings at the IOM medical.

No, it will not as long as by the time you go for your interview you are CDC/IOM compliant

When I went to IOM of they had charged me for everything it would have come to Ksh. 25,000. I got most of the vaccinations done before hand and ended up paying Ksh. 17,000

With the dollar rate a bit higher you can bet it's go be up.. but you pay at village market cba bank with dollars too.

i was not present when my friend applied for me..so he selected college instead of high school. can i change that in the DS-260 form?

The CO might want to know why the original info when selected showed college, but #bre honest on the DS260.. you fill in DS260 from scratch so change what you have to and have a good answer why you did
