This really mirrors the trend of pretty much all VISAs.   COVID hit in Feb/Mar, all the embassies started locking down and VISA processing plummeted.  Septemberish, Embassies started opening back up and processing started picking up.

 

However, the down side for all of us here in this thread is that Nairobi seems to be opening up MUCH more slowly than many other embassies.  Nairobi just isn't processing very many of any VISA except the big slug of DV VISAs they issued in September. 

I think it depends on the embassy leadership. Some are career diplomats who love their jobs and foreign service and some are political appointees.

Thanks Kenyan Couple. Do you know if it was an expedite or normal visa process? Our case was scheduled for April 14 to interview. When was yours?

It was not my case. Mine is still pending, IR1 at NVC. It was not an expedite. She received an email from the embassy to go for an interview. She had already done a medical and was set to go for an interview when it was cancelled. She went for an interview and has now done the medical again.

Hi mtu mzuri, have you heard anything yet? Our K1 was canceled in April too. I made an inquiry and this is the response they gave. So it seems they scheduling k1s after all. Waiting games...

Hi. I received a similar message too but they are prioritizing people who had a cancelled appointment it seems. Did you have a cancelled appointment just before COVID hit?

Which Customer Representative is this, at least they're giving more information. Most are so general I got tired of getting the same response.
