US Immigration from Kenya

Anyone else DQ'ed at NVC early this year and you're waiting for your interview date at the Nairobi Consulate?

All of our documents were "Accepted" in like 7 days after uploading.

Sent an inquiry to NVC after 90 days and was told in a canned response that we are in the queue and it is fifo (first in first out). 4 months being DQ'ed and no word.

Anyone else held up at NVC heading to Nairobi or anywhere else?

Hi all,

My daughter was traveling back from Kenya with British Airways. She has an I-551 stamp in her passport. The officer who stamped it had asked her not to use her expired green card and extension anymore as this had been replaced by the stamp. She traveled through Heathrow to Nairobi with the same documents with no issue, but a few days ago in Nairobi, BA personnel refused to check her in, claiming that the stamp is a wet stamp and is not acceptable in Britain. We are really at a loss on how to proceed, other than to buy a new ticket on a different airline (money we can't really spare). My son had traveled through Denmark and France in December with the same stamp with no issue at all. Does anyone know anything about wet stamp or why she cannot travel through the UK yet the USCIS said she could work and travel using this stamp? Any suggestion on how to resolve this is welcome. Thanks

PS someone in another forum said they were denied boarding to the US with the stamp and were deported back to Kenya. They had to use a different airline altogether.

Any April approvals? Still waiting April 7th 2023 - Potomac Service Centre. What months are they working on now??

Hello all -

My fianc e had her interview today and she killed it and was approved. She lives in Kenya and is planning on visiting family and friends once she gets her visa and passport back. One of her friends she'd like to visit lives in Uganda, which only requires a passport to travel to from Kenya. My question is whether there is any chance her having her K-1 visa might pose a problem when trying to enter or exit Uganda. My gut feeling is 'no' and that it will be fine, but the last thing I want is for her to get to the border and have issues exiting or entering Kenya. I searched and couldn't really find much to address this particular issue where the beneficiary wants to exit and re-enter their home country prior to traveling to the US after approval. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How to I file locally for a k-3 visa in Nairobi? Seems so hard to even get an appointment
