    Congratulations on putting together this video for us, especially considering President Ruto's visit to the US which I assume would have been captivating to watch. Thank you, Cherono, for generously sharing your experience. It's truly remarkable how you managed to gather all those documents on short notice. Your mention of mock interviews with your fiancé suggests they were instrumental in preparing you for the real thing. Your thorough explanation of the key points is greatly appreciated. With my K1 interview scheduled for June 11th, I'll need to watch your video a few more times to ensure I have everything sorted.

      Did you receive instructions email from the embassy, haven't receive mine and now is more than four months since our case was forwaded to the embassy

      I haven't received the instructions email from the embassy. Instead, I proactively monitored the status of my case on CEAC and reached out to the US Embassy in Nairobi via email. After a few days, they provided me with the necessary details for my case. Despite following the instructions provided by the embassy, I faced challenges securing an interview within the required timeframe due to time constraints and potential backlogs. I managed to secure an interview for June 11th after several delays. Currently, I've completed my medicals and am in the process of compiling my documents and reviewing the FAQs. Additionally, I'll need to obtain an amended intention to marry from my petitioner (fiancé) to fulfill the requirements of I-129F. My advice is to proceed with gathering your documents and consider booking an interview with the Nairobi embassy if possible. Keep in mind that it may take two days for payments to be reflected on your account, and while desired interview dates may not always be available immediately, it's important not to be discouraged or delayed by this.

    • @Iam_cherono
      @Iam_cherono  26 днів тому

      You go for the medicals before going for the interview at the embassy.
      So according to the official site, the medical examination will include a medical history review, physical examination, and chest X-ray, gonorrhea test, and blood tests (for applicants 15 years of age or older). The United States also requires tuberculosis (TB) testing for all applicants two years of age and older.

      My experience:
      1. They took: blood and urine sample, did chest X-ray(which can show evidence of TB). I saw a doctor/physician who discussed with me my medical history and did my physical examination.
      2. I was then given additional vaccination: Influenza, Dultravax, Hepatitis B and MMR.
      NB: The full results are posted directly to the embassy ahead of the interview.
