With the UN Moving & Floods of Tourists Coming In… Why Is It Still So Hard for Kenyans to Move to the U.S.? - r/Kenya

So the chatter astir parts of the UN perchance shifting operations distant from New York (and Nairobi being floated arsenic an enactment for much offices) has been trending successful diplomatic circles. At the aforesaid time, we’re seeing a monolithic influx of tourists successful Kenya from Maasai Mara to the Coast, hotels are afloat booked, Airbnbs are thriving, and influencers are posting our state similar it’s the adjacent Bali.

Here’s what’s weird to me:

We invited Americans and Europeans present with comparatively small hassle. Our state is being showcased arsenic an planetary hub and a “must visit” destination. Global organizations whitethorn beryllium mounting up much beingness here. But erstwhile it comes to Kenyans moving to the States whether for work, school, oregon adjacent conscionable visiting it’s inactive similar breaking into Fort Knox. Long visa processes, precocious rejection rates, and endless paperwork. Is this conscionable authorities and migration policy? Is it astir protecting jobs successful the U.S.? Or is determination inactive a immense treble modular successful however question betwixt our countries works? Also, if the UN really moves much offices here, bash you deliberation it volition marque question to the U.S. easier for Kenyans, oregon volition it inactive beryllium the aforesaid story?

Would emotion to perceive from radical who’ve tried to get a U.S. visa precocious however was the experience?
