Hi,

My husband will be going for his interview at the nairobi embassy next week thursday. I am a usc based in tx and i will not be able to go to my home country to attend the intvw with him. Is there anyone who's recently been interviewed at the kenyan embassy for IR1/CR1 visa? What docs do they ask for and what kind of questions do they ask? What is the process once one gets the visa? after how long do you get back your passport?

Thanks.

I agree with the guidance provided via the link above! Be sure to read it thoroughly! This embassy will give you hard time, if they have any indication or suspicion of fraud. Therefore, be well prepared with as much evidence as possible. I, the USC, did attend the interview with my wife, although I can't guarantee that you would be able to enter the embassy for it dpeends on your approach to enter. The guards are fairly nice. Also, most interviewees will not receive the visa on the same day, however my wife and I did after being interrogated continuously. After all was said and done, it was worth it for obtaining it on that very day and leaving for the US, the following day.

Thank you for your responses...does he need to pay anymore money, other than his medical which he has already done? I filed a petition for him from the US but i was not sure if they are going to ask him for money again at the embassy. Please let me know and as always...thank you for your responses.

Rasta is a K-1 visa, you are a CR-1 - the payment is different. You're OK I believe.

Rasta, K-1 visa fee is paid differently than the CR-1.
