H1B stamping in Kenya

Hi, I am traveling to Kenya and planning to get my H1B stamp in Kenya. My last stamping was in Ireland however, with recent stories of people getting stuck with administrative processing I am little cornered about it. Any thoughts on challenges or things I need to consider? Anyone have experience using that Nairobi US embassy? Note: Kenya is not my home country.

I would expect a lot more scrutiny by the officers there because they are subjected to a lot more fraud. But maybe that's ok.

Maybe it will be a good experience since they have less h1-b filers there.

Yes that I also think it should fine but since it Kenya more concern about it

I have had my visa renewal in an African country. I was literally the only one there at the embassy. No wait times. In and out in 10 minutes and getting an appointment was a breeze. There are very few h1b's from Africa, so very few applications get rejected. Obviously you are not from the region so that's a different story. I don't think chances are higher based on the embassy but based on the applicant and company
