Hi VJ members!
This is my first time posting in this forum. My fiance, Charloh just picked up the packet yesterday from the Nairobi embassy!!! I am wondering if anyone has any experience and can give us some advice on the interview process there. Of course we are somewhat nervous and want this to succeed! Thanks
Anyone with US Nairobi Embassy experience? |

Click Here and select the "Toggle More Options" button in the lower right corner of the screen. Populate the "Country of non-US Fiance / Spouse / Family Member" field with "KENYA" and click on "Go". That'll get you a nice list of VJ'ers dealing with the post in Nairobi.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

Hi VJ members!
This is my first time posting in this forum. My fiance, Charloh just picked up the packet yesterday from the Nairobi embassy!!! I am wondering if anyone has any experience and can give us some advice on the interview process there. Of course we are somewhat nervous and want this to succeed! Thanks
My fiance just had his interview two weeks ago in Nairobi. He arrived an hour and a half early, but wasn't even allowed to line up for over an hour. Once in line, he still had to wait another hour before going inside. I was not allowed to go in with him. He was expected to fill out another form inside, with all kinds of information about himself, me, my family in the US. He filled in what he knew and left the rest blank and this wasn't a problem. He said the woman was very nice, and only asked a couple questions. All of them were pretty basic - asking about how we met and how long we have been together. He was asked where I work and what I do. And about the wedding - he just told them the date and location and that was enough. He was approved immediately!
Be warned, we still have not received the visa in hand. We live in Uganda, and I had to travel back alone after the interview. He is still waiting to receive the visa. We had no idea that we might have to wait this long!
