ok, my brother filled for me in oct of 1999, i got a letter saying file moved to NVC(or someplace else) where it will stay until a visa number is available for me.

this is wht the info it shows about me:
case number= NRB XXXX XXX XXX
pa name = my name
preference category = f4(brothers and sisters of u.s. citizens)
your priority date= xx oct 1999
foreign state chargeability = india

i live in kenya(capital is nairobi(NRB), husband and kids are all kenyan citizens, and im a indian citizen. so should i follow the visa bulletin for india or kenya??? it says chrgeability = india, but the case number starts from NRB meaning kenya. any help is appreciated greatly, thnks.
 
Your husband is a born Kenyan citizen? You should be able to use cross-chargeability to be counted with Kenya, instead of with India.
 
The "NRB" probably just means that your cased will be completed by the consulate in Nairobi, since you are living in Kenya. Country of residence has nothing to do with chargeability.

it clearly says chargeability is India, then it's India.

Yes, because chargeability is based on the country of birth, not the country of citizenship.

[size=-1]*** deleted sentence about cross-chargeability, which was written before noticing the post that mentioned the spouse was born in India ***[/size]

Well.. in the OPs case, she was born in India and holds Indian citizenship. Her husband was also born in India, but holds Kenyan citizenship. So.. for them, they don't have the option to use Kenya's chargeability.
 
If your husband is not born in Kenya you are ineligible to use cross-chargibility ... thus India remains your country of chargibility.
