Another successful interview that happened today :)

17th dec INTERVIEW NAIROBI EMBASSY
woke up at 3:00am cz of preparation n distance to embassy. Had to Sleep at nyamakima because that was the convenient place. Reached embassy at around 5:20am, I was the first one at the gate. Security personnel briefed us on what to avoid while going in. I.e laptop,ipads,headphones, chargers, food and bags. Purses for ladies and two phones per person allowed.
1⃣‍♂️security check (main gate) you hand over appointment letter (1st nl) for verification of date plus original passport. Then u place all coins plus phone in a tray as they screen you if u carried any hard metal. Frisking done with a machine, some dii dii dii from the machine ain't a deal here as long as nothing is hidden in the clothes. Then your property is given back as you proceed to the next point.
Next is a small desk with a lady who checks on time of interview n registering your name in. Mine was 7:00am was allowed to proceed to the next step . Those whose time was 9am were taken back to a waiting bay.
2⃣security check. Thorough one here. Appointment letter n passport checked and put on a tray. Any phone or metal(including belts and ear rings)Plus medical cd not allowed in. You are allowed into a front office where all items are put aside as you pass through a scanner. I had to leave my shoes cz they had some metal. Then went ahead and picked my belt n shoes but left the fone behind as they issued me a small card.
Next place is interview area with of course security personnel outside bt no check up here. They also check ua passport and allow you get in to collect you ticket number. Opening the door to the premise was tricky not any ordinary door but with their guidance i was inside. Went to a lady who checks 2nd nl and passport, she issued ticket number and a small sheet to write names, case no. And phone number. I went out and waited to be called, at this point my intestines went upside down, state of panicking and anxiety build up. What was running in my mind was washrooms to pee . Bt i couldn't get out cz i was among the first people. After 10mins was called in again n told to go to counter no. **
⏺met a lady probably Kenyan
Her: "Morning"
Me: "Morning to you madam"

She guides me on fingerprints registration

Her: "welcome and can i have your originals and copies please"..... .....She names them PCC,birth cert,kcse cert, passport and 2 passport photos plus 2nl
Me......... ...I hand them without fear

Her: "do you have host documents?"
Me: "yes i do"

......i hand them over(IRS, I 134, Certificate of naturalisation and passport biodata page)

Her: "i have seen you have your college certificate, can i have it with a copy please?"
Me. "Yes please"

Her: "now proceed to next counter and pay"......she hands over an invoice

Went and paid and was told to go out and wait for the interview.

⏺After 30mins of panic i was called in and directed to a different counter where there was a mzungu. Kwisha mimi.
Co: "hi morning"
Me: "morning to you madam"
Co. "Raise your right arm and Swear that all information given is true"

Me....i raise and swear with confidence and energy till she smiles

She scans my fingers and starts
Co. "Who is ****??
Me: "that's my friend
Co: "how did he get to US?"
Me. *****??
Co. "Ooh..that's great. Which year?"
Me. "Back in ****"

I got this question from a WhatsApp group.
Hi everyone I av a quiz,I was schooling in school A but registered in center B to sit for my KCSE there,in My DS the name of institutions I filled the name of school A but in my certificate its written the name of the center B where I sat for my KCSE. it is a registered centre.should I be worried? Please advise!
What's their number? Maybe s/he can unlock and list both institutions even if the school they did their KCSE was only a 1 month duration. I believe its better safe than sorry.
