KENYAN DV2013 INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE(Married Couple)
Our interview was at 8.00am at the US Embassy-Nairobi on 16th Oct, 2012. We arrived at 7.40am and then we went straight to the consular section 1st gate where we met two KK security guards and one GSU officer. I told the KKs that we've come for our interview which will start at 8.00am. The guards told me that we should wait until at least 7.30am, therefore we waited until this time whereby we went to this point, we were asked for the appointment letter and then we were checked for security reasons as that is very normal.
We proceeded to the next gate whereby we found a queue and joined it (Here I found a lady who was said to be a DV2012 and she was not aware that the "thing" has expired and she was like mad....................I mean she was crying saying that she want to proceed to be interviewed...........she was told that if she just want to waste her money she can proceed..........I left her there and therefore I didn't see her again) we proceeded to the next room adjacent to this 2nd security check point for our belongings to be checked....and then we picked them on the other side after being checkd. We then proceeded to the main consular section for our interview, when we arrived at the room we were allotted a waiting number, a DV/IV application form to fill in the Principal APP name, case #, Tel # and yua email add and after 30 mins, our # was called to window number 4. We went to the window and asked to give the Primary Applicant's docs as required plus two 2x2 size photo, then the beneficiaries were asked to give a police record, birth cert, original PPs and two 2x2 size photo for each(don't forget to carry photocopies of all docs especially for birth certs, Dv qualifying certs and an extra cash coz yu may find dollar is up again). It was at this point where by I saw our original forms which I sent to KCC, the lady who was serving us game me the photos that were on those forms + the letter I sent to KCC to request a change of address of my host.
She then gave me an invoice to go n' pay at the cashiers window $330 per person applying for a DV therefore $990 for we three equivalent to Ksh.84,150 and I did pay. After paying I was requested to be seated until my number will be called. My number was called to window number 1 for finger printing except for my kid.I was also requested to be seated until the time I will hear my name(now for an interview)
I was called by name at window #10 for the interview and we went there wid my family.
