K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCASE NUMBER

Hi

the number is different from the one you got roiginally and in most cases it will always start with "NRB" standing for Nairobi embassy so just sensitize him your money may be placed in a wrong place.

 

Good luck

I thought to share my interview experience today. I arrived 15 mins before my interview. My husband was with me, we were told to go to a waiting room and there will be officer to call me for an interview. While waiting , I was about to read the book to review for the civic test, but my husband whispered to me that it is not good idea to show I am still studying on the day of my interview. He added, he think I must show to them that I am well prepared. Then, he meant "them" , he is pertaining to the cctv cameras all over the room!.  So I just wait then, we are a bit bored, we can not do nothing because it is not allowed to use cellphone.  We waited for 30 mins or 45?,( not paying attention with the time), then my name called. My husband is not allowed to go with me during the interview, which we are aware of.The IO greeted me , it takes me a while to answer back , probably I am starting to get nervous. At her room, she asked me to raise my right hand and swear in. Then, she asked my passport, drivers license and greencard. We proceed to the  10 questions, she stopped at 6th because she said I got  all correct answers. After that, we handed me a paper and said to read one sentence written on it. It was a question "When is the President's day" ,after I read  she said the answer and told me to write. Then, She said I passed. Then she asked me the questions from the applications. I basically answered what is being asked , such as yes and no. However, the IO had some side comments that helped me to feel a little bit calm. I signed the applications after the question and answer portions. Then she asked me to sign at the right side of my photos that I submitted with my application. She handed me a print out paper and congratulate me, that she is recommending me for approval. She asked me to wait at the waiting room to receive a letter of my schedule for OATH ceremony.Overall it took 2 hours experience. I am scheduled to gain 50 stars and 13 stripes - the Star-spangled banner in May 30 and I will have to give up 3 stars and one sun, the pearl of the orient seas. 

Good luck to all of you!

 

Congrats Flurries!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow accurate is Igor's List?
After checking out Igor's list this week, i asked my hunny if she was ready to receive the NOA2 in mail and hikes, Today morning after 2 days it was there informing us about our approval.

I asked because almost everyone who filed the same day as we did had got their Approvals so i would say its accurate. The list helps you assess the progress of your visa process relative to other filers within the same time period.

The page is under: http://www.visajourn...tion=3&sortby=2
and stats: http://cse.ssl.berke...data/stats.aspx

Wish you all the best!!

Cheers,

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRandom Questions about NOA2
I wish to express my congratulations to all those that have received their NOA2 in the shortest time period i have heard of. We filed in late May and got our NOA1 around the 27th of May 2010. On VJ, some June 2010 filers have already got their cases approved and it make us so anxious.

We got a couple of question for those lucky ones:

Do you guys think that the content of the package we send to USCIS makes a difference? My fiancee and i (both living in Uganda) sent one that's kind of small but we thought it had all the proof. Now we're seeing that you guys sent in very big packages and we are a little nervous.

Do you think living together kind of slows down the process since you guys have been apart for months?

Whats the trick?

Thank you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVSC NOA1 - July 6 - Are you waiting for NOA2?
This is an excruciating process for us all, but be patient like all have been saying especially for those who have yet to reach the at least the 3month mark. My fiancee and I got our NOA1 June 4th. According to Igor's list the majority of people in our month, including those who got their NOA1 later than us, already gotten the NOA2 (in July even and it was already the end of August and we were the first ones in June to get the NOA1 too). We felt a bit hopeless and even started to think terrible scenarios for our Visa Journey, but then this morning, after 81 days after getting the NOA1, we received an email notice from USCIS that said we our I129 was approved!! Such a great feel, and what a relief!

So everyone, stay strong and be patient, that NOA2 will happen!

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!

So, for people who have gone through Nairobi recently, how long does it take for the embassy to acknowledge receiving your petition? It has been a week now since it was delivered and signed for there, and they haven't replied to my email. I think I'd seen a range of a few days to maybe 2 weeks here somewhere, but wanted to make sure this is normal and that there's nothing else I'm supposed to be doing. Waiting is really frustrating, no matter what phase of the journey you're in!


Well, mine only took 2 days because i had contacted them two days before my petition arrived and a week earlier before i knew how to track the petition and i had been told i would be contacted when it got there.

So i didn't have to wait 2 weeks. But you should just wait until they reply to your email. But everything is going to be ok. Good luck and i wish you all the best. Anything you need, just ask.

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!
This is my interview experience...

I got there at 7am and went through the first check point. I didn't carry a bag or cell phone because i had so much paper work to carry evidence of relationship and all... But you have to have your appointment confirmation email from the embassy and your passport before you are allowed to go through the first security check point.

I didn't have a cell phone or watch so i didn't keep track of time (Forgive me if I don't know at what time, what happened..)Anyway, i walked ahead and found a long line, guess i was late judging by the line...So there was a lady who asked for my passport and appointment confirmation, she checked on the list if my name was on the list for the day and told me to go make the line...

I made the line and then we were told to enter 4 people, two people from the line that had people with non immigrant visas and two from the line that had immigrant visas...they were two lines. At the next security check, we were told to put our luggage and whatever we were holding through the scanner and then a body search was done..Then we were given back our stuff...But those who had cell phones or cameras were told to leave them in storage and they were given numbers. I didn't have any, so i picked up my files and went through to the waiting area..

I found so many people seated, meaning, so many people had come early, i went inside the consular section and was given a number and my appointment confirmation email was taken. I was told to wait outside and it was freezing...

So anyway, when my number was called at window 5, i went inside and a pleasant lady asked me for two copies of DS-156, two copies of DS-156K and one copy of DS230 part 1 only, my birth certificate and a copy of it and my police certificate, I-134 affidavit of support without any supporting documents that my fiance had attached to it, 3 photos but since i had already stuck them on my forms, she gave back 2 of them and took 1 of them. She gave me a bit of confidence when she said I was very organized and she told me to take a seat and told me, i will be called for fingerprints shortly

When my number was called again, i went to window 1 and I was fingerprinted and asked to sit down. This was the longest wait of my life. Anyway, finally I was called, and the guy who interviewed me was really nice. I think I was a bit nervous at first and then he told me to raise my right hand but i raised my left hand instead...midway through asking me if i will say the whole truth and not lie to him, he realized it was my left hand and we both laughed when he said "raise the other right hand.." So i swore to tell the truth and then he asked me these questions...

Mean while he was looking at our pictures and he said oooohhh and then he gave them back and my birth certificate,as he was asking me these questions

1.Where did we meet?
2. How many times have we met?
3. When did we meet?
4. What my fiance does and where I work?
5.Where he goes to church and where I go to church?
6. If he speaks English because he's russian?
7.What my parents do?
8. Where he was born?
9. When he moved to the states?

It took about 5 minutes. It was like i was having a conversation with a friend and he kept smiling and i was so calm.
He then typed somethings on his computer and said "EVerything looks great" he then handed me a green slip and told me to go to the website and fill in my DHL information and pick my passport up in a week. He said you have been approved and Good luck. I said thank you and walked away.

I was so nervous because my birth certificate was messed up, my christian name was misspelled and i have another name, i have never used before but they didn't ask anything about it though i was ready with a letter Gloria (G&Oxy) had written for me just in case.

What i went with to the embassy was emails, chat logs, screenshots of emails from both my email accounts since the day we met, screenshots of video chats and calls, photos in an album, western union receipts. But what's funny, they didn't even ask to see any of it...I think its because my fiance front loaded the petition. I had also spoken to my fiance before i walked through the embassy gate and he had told me that everything is going to be ok and that made me confident too...

So that was it. After i was handed my letter, the blonde lady came over and i think she was there for the next applicant because they kept interchanging interviewers...And i survived that blonde lady. But what's funny, after i walked away, i saw the man was opening a file while showing it to the blonde lady and i kinda thought it was mine and kept looking back as i walked out to the exit thinking that i would be called back by the guard to be told it was a mistake especially when i saw a guard walking toward me..LOL :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: but he didn't call me back and i walked out so happy...I had been approved and i had survived the blonde lady... God is good.

If anyone has any questions, don't hesistate to ask me

Congratulations!! I've been thinking about you today and were crossing fingers that all goes well.

This definitely made my mood brighter.


Thank you Cotton candy and you'll do just fine my dear.

:dance: :dance: VISA APPROVED on August 22, 2012 :dance: :dance:
Everything went well :thumbs: Below is an overview of my medical exam (August 9 and 10, 2012) and interview.

Medicals:
Day 1 – After a brief counseling and once you have signed a consent form, your medical/vaccination history will be taken to enable them determine the requisite vaccinations. On vaccinations, the doctor/nurse at IOM will determine the ones you'll need based on your age, gender, country and any prior vaccinations. If you have any vaccination record/letter, bring it with you.

Medical examination costs $138 or Kshs 11,476 exclusive of vaccination fee. The lady recommended 4 vaccines for me as I couldn't trace my childhood vaccination/immunization record. MMR (Measles Mumps Rubella) - $26 or Kshs 2,162, Influenza ($28 or Kshs 2,328), Varicella ($54 or Kshs 4,491) and Dultravax ($32 or Kshs 2,661). The total costs for medical examination plus vaccinations = Kshs 23,119 (approximately $280). Once payment is made at their cash office, you will be called to the laboratory for a blood test. You will then be taken (in batches in IOM van) to the nearby ‘The Nairobi Hospital’ for an x-ray. After the x-ray, you are free to leave. You may ask the IOM driver to drive you back to IOM or you can find your way home/to the hotel from The Nairobi Hospital. Day 2 appointment is at 7.30am.

Day 2 - A nurse will take your detailed medical history/information and perform the usual body weight and height measurements, heart beat rate/blood pressure and eye test. The doctor will then do a body exam and he’ll let you know the outcome of your medicals. You will then be given your x-ray – they confirmed that you do not have to carry this for your visa interview. It must be carried as hand luggage as it may be required at POE. You will thereafter have the prescribed vaccinations and a Vaccination Documentation Worksheet issued to you.

Your medical results will be sent by IOM to the Embassy. I inquired from the doctor how long it takes for the results to get to the Embassy and he said that it may take at least between 24 hours to 3 days or more in some cases.


Interview
We were scheduled for Wednesday, August 22 at 7.15am. Although my fiancé was in the country, we decided that he would not accompany me to the Embassy but he would be on stand-by in case something came up. I did not want to get worried about him being outside the gate in the event that he was not allowed to accompany me inside. It really helped that he was just a stone throw away. My fiancé’s presence and support really boosted my confidence :luv:

I went through all security checks and eventually picked a number inside the consul area. You must have your Appointment confirmation email and passport to pass through all the security checks. There were not so many people inside so I was lucky to find a seat inside the consulate area as it was freezing outside. The people who came in after me had to wait outside for their numbers to be called out through the intercom. My number was called to Window 5 where a pleasant lady asked for the following documents, one by one: Two DS 156, two DS 156K, two DS 230 Part 1 only, 3 passport pics, Affidavit of Support (without any supporting evidence), original and a copy of my birth certificate, police certificate. She confirmed to me that she did not require our I-134 supporting documents, letter of continued support/updated letter of intent or any additional documents. We were well prepared just in case and we even had an extra copy of everything including our petition to USCIS. Ensure that your police certificate has a fingerprints report from the police attached to it. Another interviewee who did not have her fingerprint report was told to send the fingerprints form by DHL.

I was then called to Window 1 for fingerprinting. At 10.15am, my number was called and i went to Window 10 (a male consul officer – very nice and friendly). I agree with Jill’s earlier comment that by the time of the interview, the consulate has already made its decision and the interview is just a formality which can either confirm or revoke their decision. When I went to Window 10, the CO had stepped out for a minute and our file was open on his desk (I could see the document on top had been stamped approved! :yes: I do not think this is the NOA2 approval as the documents that I submitted at Window 5 were filed below it). The CO returned and on top of my folders and binder, was Robert Allen's Crazy Laws Lawsuits which I was reading prior to being called to the window. The CO was so pleasant, he saw the book and asked which book it was and then he told me he was also reading something on law - Mediocre/medieval law. :wow: We had something in common – we were both reading crazy legal stuff! He asked what kind of work i did and i told him i'm a lawyer, then he laughed and jokingly said 'ummmh, yours will be tricky because I cannot tell when to believe a lawyer...' I took an oath and confirmed to him that '...we lawyers understand the consequence of any statements made on oath and the dire consequence for any misrepresentation....so he better believe me.' I guess I was asked very simple questions because my fiancé had neatly arranged and frontloaded everything with our petition. The CO didn't ask to see any of the I134 supporting documents I had with me or any other documents.

1. When did you meet your fiance?
2. Where does your fiancé work?
3. How old are you? Your fiancé?
4. How many times has he visited you? Thrice...in fact he is currently in the country!! He actually believed a lawyer without asking me for any evidence of my fiance’s presence!!

He asked to see our photos. As he flipped through our album, one pic of my fiancé and I specifically caught his eye...it has the background of the beautiful Shimba Hills Lodge and the CO inquired which part of Kenya that was as he had never seen such a beautiful place.

He then told me that I was approved and handed me a green letter/slip with instructions on how to collect my visa from DHL in a week. The interview took less than 10 minutes. We are so excited to be done with this stage. My experience was a pleasant one.

Thank you all for your support and advice. To all those going through this process, do not hesitate to ask any questions. My fiancé and I wish you a smooth process in your visa journey.


Congratulations on your approval once again and thank you so much for posting. I want to ask you a question as a lawyer. My birth certificate has a name that i have never used. DO i need to include this on the forms where it says other names used. It only appears on my birth certificate and no where else. On the petition i didnt include it on the other names section.

Also what is evidence of engagement. I don't have any because we were waiting to choose out a ring in the states. SO what do i do? Do you think this will affect the outcome of my interview?

We front loaded our petition with evidence. But i have a whole lot of evidence and my fiance has only visited me once last year and we met November 2010. But i have phone logs, chats, emails, video chat screen shots and so many other things.

I guess i'm just scared about tomorrow... please help

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!

Could anyone who's scheduled a medical exam + interview recently comment on how far ahead the available dates usually are? Once we get the date, I'm going to book my flight to go over there, so I'm wondering how much advance notice I'll likely have.


When I scheduled my interview, there were available dates till the 30th of August. I am sure there are dates as early as the last week of august and the first week of september.

Also there's a thread on visajourney, how to track your petition to see when it gets to Nairobi. That way you are not waiting a long time for the embassy to contact you and you can contact them first. I am going to get the thread and hopefully it will be of some help in speeding this process up...
Goodluck.

Thank you Nick & Ann...things have definitely changed then because I don't remember dealing with any of that (however, Ben could have with using MPesa and I wasn't aware). Thank you so much for clearing that up :thumbs:

Your welcome Jill. thank you for staying on the thread to help other people. God bless you abundantly for being of great help. :thumbs: :thumbs: :yes: :)

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!

OK, it looks like the process is a bit different as I don't remember anything at all about the "Mobile Pay Deposit Slip PDF". Anyway, what we did was we paid the fee using MPesa through Ben's phone, once paid, you automatically receive an MRV Receipt Number which can be saved to the phone (it comes via text I believe). You have to wait a while for the payment to clear. Ours took a good two-three days. I kept trying to schedule the interview via the website, and it wouldn't allow me to. Once the payment clears, you will be directed to the schedule (you'll know that it cleared when you're able to actually view the interview calendar). The MPesa account that you are using needs to have enough money in it to cover the visa fee. The MPesa agent doesn't give you anything other than the receipt for the deposit into the MPesa account. Aaron's cousin should follow the directions on the website for making the payment using MPesa. It's pretty intuitive when your actually doing it over the phone with the instructions.

I know it's overwhelming and confusing, but when you're going through it, it's not as difficult as it sounds right now. When Aaron's cousin pays the fee, she needs to make sure to save the MRV receipt number for you. You can do the rest through the website. I hope this helps a little.


From my experience, you need to print out the mobile deposit slip before you go to the agent. The deposit pay slip has the receipt number and the number to which you are going to send the money. it takes 4 hours for the payment to register, so after 4 hours, you should be able to schedule your interview.

What you need from the Mpesa agent are the confirmation details of the payment which is the transaction number, date and time which you write on your deposit pay slip just in case of anything. The Mpesa agent doesn't give you anything else apart from that. The deposit slip will have your name, receipt number, number to which the money is sent and also instructions on how and what to do to pay the money. Follow the instructions carefully. Oh and by the way, it expires after 2 days, if you haven't paid by then, then you will have to get a new slip, a new receipt number and start over.

Good luck

Hi Cotton, I am not sure about Friday's. I know they are open on Friday's because Ben picked up his visa on a Friday...I don't know if they conduct interviews though. Perhaps someone else knows for sure. If not, you'll have to wait to see on the interview calendar.


Hey cotton,

From what i have seen on the calendar, they do not conduct interviews on fridays in addition to Kenyan holidays, last wednesdays of the month and American holidays

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!

Thanks, Jill! Apparently it hasn't even reached the NVC yet, so we have a little while.

As long as I have sufficient income from my work (and show pay stubs, an employer letter, tax transcripts, etc.), I don't need bank statements, do I?

Also, I am just looking at:
http://usvisa-info.c...payment_options to try to understand the payment process. I have a friend in Uganda (Aaron's cousin) who is going to take care of making the payment for us. If she already knows how to use MPesa, what information is she going to need from us in order to do this? The site mentions a "Mobile Pay Deposit Slip PDF": is that what is given to you when you pay the money to the MPesa agent, and then going through the process on the embassy's website is what applies that payment to the visa fee? I am so lost, and don't want to get this wrong!


Well, you need the mobile deposit slip before you can pay the M-pesa agent because all that you need to be able to complete the payment is on that slip. What you have to do after you pay is to fill in the confirmation details of the transaction. Everything you need is on the deposit pay slip and all the instructions on how you should pay are also there. After you have paid the fee, the receipt number is what will allow you to schedule your appointment. Before you go to an M-pesa agent, you will need that deposit slip, without it, he can't help you because it has the receipt number and where to send the money. So you need it.

This is so helpful, Ann: thanks! I've forwarded this to Aaron. Looks incredibly detailed to the point where anyone should be able to follow it, but if he has any questions, I'll pass them along. How long did the whole police certificate process take, overall?
[/quote]

It took five working days. I started the process on Monday and I got the certificate on Friday. The key to making the process short is to do everything you need to do on time. SO starting in the morning is the best. It takes 3 days from Naguru to Kololo.

Yes, please if he has any questions,lease pass them on, I will gladly help. Good luck

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!

Thanks--this is very helpful! I'm passing this info along to Aaron. It will be really nice to be able to sort out a lot of this stuff before Aaron and I go to Nairobi.

And......I got my NOA2 yesterday!!!!! So now we are officially into the Stuff Happening phase: whee!

Ann, do you have any tips for getting the police certificate? I got some instructions from the USC half of another UG/USC couple, but it would be even better to hear from someone who's actually dealt with it.

So, the next part is: call NVC until they receive the petition and can give me the case number. Then I can start contacting Nairobi to find out when they receive it. When Nairobi receives the petition, they will schedule the medical exam, and we can pay the visa fee and schedule the interview (for at least 3 days after the medical exam). Something like that? Did I miss anything?


Finally, congratulations, its about time you got your NOA2. With the police certificate, this is what you have to do


Board any taxi going to Nakawa. Get off at Game-Shoprite Lugogo. From Jinja road to Game Lugogo. The taxi will cost 500shs or 1000shs depending on where you board from.

Then when you get to Game Lugogo, you will get a boda boda that will cost you between 1500shs-2000shs. Tell the boda guy that you are going to Police headquarters where they do fingerprinting and it will cost you that much.

By the way, its not Kibuli anymore the headquarters moved to Naguru. When you get there, you will walk into the gate and you will see a tent at the furthest corner. Go there and tell the man that you want a certificate of good conduct and then he will write you a bank slip of 9500shs which you will take the bank (Stanbic Bank, IPS building near Parliament building)

Then go back to Naguru, fill out a form, write an application letter and then you will have your fingerprints taken.

Make sure you go with 2 passport photos , a photocopy of your passport. Because they are attached to the fingerprint form.

Then you will directed to an office next to the gate, where you will pay 3000shs, leave your fingerprint form there and you will get a receipt. Then you will be told when to go to Kololo.

So this is how it went...I still insist you have to go at around 9am so you can beat lunch time...I never seem to do that because I went to bed late and woke up late...

You can get a taxi like last time and get out at game, get a boda boda and you will be charged 3000shs(atleast that's what i was charged). Tell him to take you to Interpol offices at Kololo. Make sure he know and he is not taking you to Naguru...Make sure you tell him Interpol offices Kololo.

Anyway, I got there, and went through the security check, asked me what i needed, I told her, i went to naguru on Monday and i was told to come here on friday...they might ask for your receipts from naguru, so make sure to have them.. and then the police officer was kind enough to direct me to where I should go. You will see a building with flags and then walk past it and continue, you will see stairs going down, follow them and you will get to the intersection of building...one is up and the rooms are labelled with numbers, just walk past it and you will see a small door and enter there...if that is too confusing, just ask any police officer to direct you to where they give out bank slips..they were really kind to me...or anyone in the compound will direct you to where bankslips are given...

They will ask you for your receipt and bankslip from Naguru and then they will write you a new bankslip similar to the one tht was given in naguru, you still have to go the same bank to pay..The amount is 50,500shs. From interpol to the bank I got a boda because there are no taxi stages in Kololo...So i got a boda who took me, he waited for me and brought me back to Kololo for 6000shs altogether...

Went back to the same office where the bankslip was written,give them the pink bankslip and retain the blue one and i was given 2 receipts, one for the bankslip and one for 3000shs which is called Officer's allowance or something like that...you pay that and get the 2nd receipt, so in total you have 3 receipts, the blue one from the bank, the two that you have been given, then you will be told where to go to room 3...

In room 3 you will find 2 police officers, and they will ask for all your reeipts, make sure you have your receipt and bankslip from naguru plus the ones you have. Give them all to her. In total you should have 2 bankslips&3receipts in total. the two from Naguru and the 3 you will have got.

You will be told to look through lots of applications to find yours, the papers we filled in naguru. When you find them, they look through them and make sure its you and then send you to another room with those papers and the receipts where you will have your photo taken...You will be told to go and wait by the gate...it takes about an hour and then a police officer will come with the signed certificates and read them out

pick yours, go and sign in the book and go home...That's pretty much it...

That is how getting the police certificate went. its a pretty easy process. Good luck with that and congratulations on your NOA2

Thanks 'Nick&Ann'. But I am from Mauritius. I'm not sure this is possible.


Don't give up so easily, look around and ask around. You'll never know until you try. So sorry, I thought you were from Uganda but either way, try and fail but don't fail to try.

Ask around and you might be surprised what you find. Also what options does the website give about payment, i'm sure they are country specific. Find out and then you wont have to go to Nairobi before you are truly ready. :) Good luck.

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!

Oh, really? I've been thinking all this time that we will have to get the money to someone we know in Kenya in order to pay the visa fee. Aaron is in Entebbe: where would he go to buy a safaricom line or find an M-pesa agent? (I should probably just ask *him*--maybe he knows all about this stuff?) And this is for scheduling the visa interview, or the medical appointment, or both?


I thought that too, until I saw the option of M-pesa while trying to schedule my appointment. When I saw the M-pesa option, I had seen shops around town with that service but better yet, my sister has a friend who does that, so yesterday I went to the agent and he helped me out. He sold me a safaricom line, sent the money to my line and i sent the fee myself. I booked my interview today morning.

This guy is found in Kampala. I'm not sure about other agents but I know this guy through my sister and i'm sure, he can help. I can send you his details. For the medical, I received a confirmation for my appointment and I think you have to go with the money in cash

Good luck and speedy NOA2. hang in there. God bless

Ok, I will have the appointment confirmation after I pay for the visa and schedule it online, which can only be done in kenya :(?


Hey Cotton Candy,

Don't look so down. You can pay for your visa fee here in Uganda. I did it yesterday using M-pesa and I just booked my appointment today :dance: :dance: :dance: All you have to do is buy a safari com line, register it, print out the PDF on the website and then pay the money to an M-Pesa agent and then he will send the money to your safaricom Number and then you can pay using the instructions on the receipt.

After that, come back online and schedule your appointment. After you have paid, you have to wait 4 hours before you can schedule your appointment. M-pesa is like Mobile money. I can give you the number of the M-pesa agent who helped me, if you want.

On the appointment scheduling website, make sure you choose the M-pesa safaricom option and print out the PDF and all the instructions are there. Ask me if you need more help.

Will gladly help. Good day.
