The Consulate at Nairobi is working

Visas Issued Nairobi

Dec 2022
CR1- 2
IR-1- 26
IR-2- 17
IR-5- 16

Exactly where the problem is. These numbers,comparatively with other consular sections make Nairobi look like a joke. Given the huge backlog in Nairobi, they should be doing better than that.

Yes i did get the import of what you were addressing @crazy cat. It stems from a question posed by a contributor as to whether the embassy in nairobi is working at all given, and you did well by providing those figures, suggesting that they are indeed working amid at a sloth pace. I have had the opportunity to compare figures/numbers including the issuance report for January (visa interviews conducted per post-country ) and the number of interviews conducted elsewhere as against Nairobi, is indeed  nothing to write home about. The backlog, i suppose cast across...and Nairobi should be doing way better than they're now. That was my point.

I had the save issue the first time op wrote this implying nairobi embassy was working dew to the numbers he/she presented. 

Say myself and four other employees are tasked to review files. Four of us review 100 files a day each. The 5th employee reviews 5 files a day. Yes He/she did work to review those 5 files but you @crazy cat took those numbers and went to the boss and presented them saying "see, he reviewed five files. He is working"

We all know he's not.

The embassy is holding a town hall on 17th march. You could try see if they'll answer questions about the delays etc...

For those who were able to attend last weeks town hall, did the embassy give any assurances on whether there’ll be an uptick in IR visa interviews?

No 😒 It was a pretty disappointing event. They really focused on USAID / security updates and then briefly touched on visas for like 60 seconds - they basically said 'immigrant visa processing increased x% in 2022, for those of you still waiting we appreciate your patience as we continue to work through the backlog' and then moved on.

 

Super unhelpful, especially considering the statistic they cited was referring to all immigrant visas, which is up due to the increase in processing of DV and E3 visas. Meanwhile all IR and family based visa processing was actually down 4% in 2022 (I'm pulling the numbers from the monthly immigrant visa issuance statistics reports) - so they kind of dodged all of our questions, obviously a group of US Citizens asking about visas are asking about the visa categories related to them, not the DVs / employment visas 🙄
