You mean I-751.
You are required, by law, to notify USCIS when you move to a new address.
I would go ahead and make the address change using the AR-11 online method. Petitioner must use the I-865 sent by mail.

congrats on your NOA-2 now you wait for a case number generated by the NVC and all your info should be sent to Nairobi for processing. When they do generate a case number make sure the first three letters of the case are NRB (for Nairobi) since Kampala embassy does not process K1 Visas!

If NVC already sent the case to the wrong embassy, then there's not really anything for them to do now.

While you can contact the wrong embassy first and try to have them handle it, I would personally treat it like an embassy case transfer instead. For an embassy case transfer, you would contact the correct embassy and have them request a case transfer from the wrong embassy (once they have it).
Or contact both and see who responds faster.

oh my goodness this is so very encouraging! I have just finished reading your experience at medical too! Thank you for being such a great "poster of your experience" Do you have flights to the US yet?? Are you sooo very excited to come to see your partner?!

My partner was planing on coming to Kenya and staying with his friend and booking his medical about a week or two weeks prior to his interview date, does that make sense? is a week prior enough time? It sounds like we should wait to fill out forms until CEAC status changes and hold of on DS160 until it states case number is no longer at NVC!!!!! or has been received in kenya!

Congratulations again!

Eek I am so happy for you both!

Hi All, Does anyone know if my partner and I can begin filling out the DS160 (k1 Visa) while we wait for the NVC to mail our package to the US consult in Kenya. NVC has assigned us a case number and stated they should be mailing our package off to Kenya today? (I will call NVC tonight to confirm it has been mailed) We are trying to get as prepared as we can in order to schedule the earliest interview! Any support on this topic would be so very much appreciated! or any info on the K1 process in Kenya as my partner is Ugandan and will be going to Kenya for interview med check and such!!

Thanks Kara

God Bless Visa Journey and all the support and encouragement found here xo

Hello fellow July filers. I figured I'd just write about my experience of the medical exam at the IOM in Nairobi.

First day I arrived at 7.20 my appointment was at 7.30am. Really doesn't matter when you're appointment is they serve you on a first come first served basis. We handed in our Assessment form which they send to you when you book your appointment, to the reception. They called my name a few minutes later and I heard my picture taken. After a while there's a guy who called all the day one's to the counseling room. We all sat and he started telling us about the whole processes depending on which country you're going to. After that we signed consent forms to allow them to take blood, urine and x-ray.

Next we went to the lab. They took our blood and urine. I handed in a passport photo too. Next is the x-ray. Dint take more than five minutes. After that I went to pick up my payment coupon. They send you to the vaccinations area so that they can determine which ones you need. I didn't need any so they gave me an invoice of just the other exams. I paid ksh 19242 ($188). I used MPESA to pay.

The next day I went there same time in the morning. There's a tray we drop our forms in for Day 2. You then have to see the cashier to confirm your payment. Then I waited and this woman called our names. I went into this room and they took my weight, measured my height and tested my eyes. Then I was sent upstairs for the rest of the physical exam. They tell you how your blood work, urine and x-ray turned out. I was given an all clear and a CD with my cray on it. After that I went to the vaccinations area I didn't need any so they just filled in the dates I had the vaccines and gave me the certificate of vaccination. And I was done.

I typically spent 5 hour each day. But it only depends on how many people are there. They don't just serve the US it's other countries too like Australia, Canada and the UK
