Hello!

I was also denied the US Visa by the consular here in Kenya. As far as I understand, the embassy usually has some statistics of youths visiting the US and whether they usually return after their purported mission in the US is over.

Sadly, most unemployed vicenarians who request for conference Visas from Kenya usually end up as illegal immigrants in the US. So for my case I would say that I suffered due to the crime committed by others who went to the US before me. I provided the prerequisite documents as is required of me but that wouldn't change the decision of the consular officer.

Nonetheless, am happy that three Wikimedians from Kenya secured their Visas and they will be at Wikimania2012.

Hopefully, I will be in the next Wikimania.

Enjoy the conference and I would do my best to follow up on talks I was interested in attending on Youtube and the documentations wherever they will be on-line.

To the attendees, have a fruitful conference.

Cheers
Stephen.

Hello Rupert,

the experience is that if an ambassy denies a visa (most probably without any reason), there is nothing to do with it.

Greetings
