NEED YOUR ADVISE

[watuwa 1]

according to the visa bulletin release i would have been called but i recently unlocked my ds 260. But if all goes well with Kentucky, surely in june is my interview.

am orignally from East Africa a country called uganda but our immigrant interviews are being held NAIROBI KENYA..when entering the draw,they tell us the minimum qualifications needed is highschool..our education system at highschool has got both O and A LEVELS which i successful completed and was awarded both my certificates..That was my highest level of education ended..My O level i performed good but my A level got only SUBSIDIARY PASS..The US EMBASSY Nairobi recently changed from not only having high school certificate but wants atleast one principal pass and one subsidiary to qualify.. fellow members on this forum, some african people face alot of challenges in life as far as education is concerned, including standards of life at all levels of life.. For my case i would like to share a bit of my experience which i think there are others who might have gone through the same experience..My parents died when i was very young and a family friend took the responsibility, paid my school fees from primary then secondary, but at my last yr of completing high school he died then it was my decision to either find ways of completing high school or drop out..it was really challenging but i decided to say, BY ALL MEANS I WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE..then i decided to do simple works for the community paying for my self to atleast finishing Highschool. it was very challenging to combine both work and school..some times being chased for not having scholastic material , then spend a week looking for money and then go back finding hip of notes to write without explanations..Those are some of the reasons i even did not perform as expected.. i did not fail to F9s but just only missing a principle pass..

I have attached what was recently added by US EMBASSY Nairobi and for my case i have marked with a pen

QN1..SHOULD I GO WITH MY HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATE THOUGH LOW MARKS AND FACE THE CO..OR DONT WASTE MY MONEY?

QN2..I KNOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE AND NEED YOUR ADVISE AS MY LAST RESORT??? REMEMBER ITS EVEN VERY HARD FOR AFRICANS GO THROUGH USING WORK EXPERIENCE...

 

Thanks for reading..

awaiting your advise..

God bless u through

It’s pretty simple - you either have requirements to qualify through education alone or through work experience or you do not. If you do not, don’t bother going to the interview- they will deny you.

The requirement for a “high school education” means one that would allow you to do college in the US. Your O levels are not a complete high school and that is also why there is a minimum requirement for the A levels. I’m very sorry for your troubles, but the embassies do not have any leeway on this because along with country of eligibility it’s one of the two critical qualifying criteria for DV. If you don’t have the required work experience (that you can prove and document meets the appropriate criteria) unfortunately you will be refused. 

 

(I can’t see your attachment, but either you meet it or you don’t.)

Also it hasn’t “just changed”, here’s a report from back in 2013 that says one principal and one subsidiary pass is required for Ugandan A-levels. http://nairobiwire.com/2013/10/us-embassy-nairobi-announces-2014.html. There is a similar report on a blog from a 2014 winner.
