Haki these are really great news we are getting. Congrats to both of you. Who cares how long the flight was kama muko pamoja right? 😃😃😃

 

What I am seeing is that DQs that have made progress ni mpaka March.
 

Anyone from April?

 

That would be an indicator of how things are moving along. 

Hadi hapo March 13th/15th. Beyond hapo sijui. But it's good dear. This too shall pass

Thank you for the update. Haki, really appreciate it. Now enjoy your reunion at home. Jet lag itawalemea kiasi but you’ll get through soon. 

 

NB/ So it looks like what I have been sharing (news and updates from the friend) is really cross matching with everyone’s experiences so far, yani those with DQs until mid-March were getting interviews but then kinda slowed down or stopped after that.

 

If there are news from those with DQs after mid March and April, please share too.

We just got an email today that my husbands IR1 interview (DQ Feb 24, 2020) is May 4. We are excited and have hope they will be opening up more and more to process cases for all the families waiting. I do think mid-March cases are still a little bit off though. I’ll update how the interview goes!

I just spoke with a Kenyan with a DQ in late April 2020 whos husband, also a Kenyan, got his interview last week.   They are in AP and need to provide a few extra docs, but it sounds like his VISA is pretty much approved.

Hi all!  My wife and I are awaiting our interview date.  We have a DQ as of May 11,2020.  We are hoping to hear from the Embassy in Kenya.  Wish you all the best of luck and thank you all for sharing useful information.

My wife's DQ is May 5, and it is still crickets from the NVC.   I've not heard of anyone with a May 2020 DQ getting an interview via normal processing so far.   The next round of interviews should theoretically come out the last week of April or the first week of May, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Make sure you carry everything that you think they may ask for, and know details of your spouse.

How does this help us?  

AFAIK, none of us are being affected by the regional travel restrictions.

Karibu! 🎊 🎈🎉 ... Sasa your timing though, coz Minneapolis right now kuna misukosuko.

Lol is that even a word? My Swahili is getting rusty.
