Today April 10th holds significant weight. I met my husband online today 6 years ago, it’s also my late father’s 82nd birthday and my cat’s 7th birthday 🥳. Thanks for your encouragement and the very same energy

We had high hopes since Nov 2023 as we were notified by others that the timeframe was between 16-17 months from DQ and there were several who fulfilled that timeframe. That’s where we got the timeline from but since they have went back to prioritizing DV it pushes the other categories back in line in a sense. Based on the numbers I posted recently Oct 2022 should’ve gotten ILs in Feb and Nov 2022 in March, but yes, all we can do is continue waiting but it is VERY STRESSFUL taking care of 2 households as a single person for 3+ years without any good news. We’re ALL trying to be patient and hold on to that mustard seed.. 

Hey there, you must have received some good news by now.

I just created an account to share my timeline so far. I'm a US citizen married to a Kenyan. We married in 2021 and our dq date is 12/22. We have heard absolutely nothing since becoming dq. Asking your elected official for help is a joke. Honestly, we're about to give up as the financial and emotional stress of not knowing anything is becoming too much. Such a disgrace.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I’m responding to you this evening with no teeth in my mouth. The stress of it all has weakened my teeth to the point I now have 16 implants that are now beginning to heal. Don’t give up… on you or your spouse. You are needed! It takes a lot of courage to come on here exposing your vulnerabilities to the world but just know, you are not alone. We will all get there and this will be a distant memory. I’m currently in Mexico healing from today’s surgery. I am in the same situation, US citizen but married to an Ugandan who has to interview in Nairobi, DQd Nov 2022.  Our day will come.. keep holding on! Much love

My husband sent this to me this morning. It's such a shame what had to take place in order to force their hands to do the right thing but it's so necessary and I hope it happens soon!!

And the State Department really needs to fix the backlogs at embassies like this one. It's not right to have couples wait so long to get interviews.

May’s numbers for Nairobi. With what’s going on now in Kenya I have high doubts… 

[Truserenity11 35]

Here are May’s numbers. With the protests going on now I doubt any real work is getting done now.. it’s such a shame that there is so much corruption. Such a shame..

I thought my previous message posted but it did not. Considering what’s going on currently in Nairobi there may be some delays as they have flown the ambassador out of the country and protests are still going on in order to try to repair the country’s corruption. Last I heard was March of this year and they were working on DQd Oct 2022 ILs. They tend to prioritize DV visas for several months and this is now coming into question as to why when many of them are being denied the visa at the end of the day. Meanwhile spouses and children’s fees have already been paid to the US and therefore are put on the back burner…we’re hoping they will do the right thing and catch up on the unnecessary backlog which if they were serious they could get cleared up in a few months time…
