Thanx God 4 ur journey sir.

@ Nero xp: BHD.

@roodboy:thanks God bless you and your family.

kemseg2005: I am a DV 2013 winner and I have been following this thread since 2012. I must confess that you guys are wonderful and kudos to those who have made this forum a great success. Let me quickly share my interview experience which took place on June 4, 2013 (7 am appointment). We (Myself, wife & three kids) arrived the embassy at 6am in the morning and after the security check we entered the interview hall and made payment before submitting our documents.
At about 8.30am the Co in window 14 & 15 appeared. The Co in window 14 was very tough but I noticed at the end that he gave the E-passport back to those couple.

We were the third to be interview by the nice Elderly man in window 16. After the swearing and fingerprint stuff, the man asked my wife and children to find somewhere to sit becuase I am the principle winner.

CO- Pick the phone cos I want to talk to you privately
ME- Ok
CO- Good morning sir
ME- morning sir
CO- Tell me your highest level of education
ME- I told him
CO- When did you graduate and tell me your course of student
ME- I told him
CO- Did you serve
ME- Yes I did
CO- What did you do
ME- Teaching
CO- Do you have another children outside this three
ME- No
CO- Do you have another wife
ME- No
CO- What do you do for a living
ME- I am a Federal Civil Servant

At this point I was expecting the man to call my wife for questioning because we were prepared for him with loads of photographs and other documents. Surprisingly the man didn't call my wife, he just picked two white form and circled the Lekki visa collection address and congratulated me. I did not recognise Pato and Jasper 400 but I know he reffered to us being the first person to be intervied in window 16.

I wish those having their interview next week a successful interview and those waiting for their 2nd NL not to panic co's all of you will be current in Jesus nane.

Congrat my brother, so glad to hjear dis.

joecrown: For those of us preparing to relocate to US,please prepare your mind that at start it may look like hell and a lot of things will be so strange to you but always have that positive thinking that all will be well. The past few weeks of my stay here has been hell,for those of you that are planning to stay with someone you may not find it pleasant if you don't make it a short stay try as much as possible to be self dependent on your own after a little time . Lastly learn how to drive before you come to the US to speed up your roa test and your maneuver ability and be wise,ready to learn and don't do oversabi here.

correct talk

Congrat.you were mean't to be at the top¶™… go and succeed.

I thanked God for His goodness upon me and my family, the tension of over a year finally become real today. Thanks to every members of this great forum indeed it is a tutorial centre and information centre for the immigrant (EXPO). You guys are doing a great job from page 1 to 763 pages no be moi moi. God will reward you all. I have been following this thread from day 1 and it’s my turn to share my experience.
We got to the embassy @ 5.55am for 7am appointment pass through all security checks before gaining access into the hall. We were given a tag and made payment for $990 and waited for our names to be called for documentation at the window 17 and asked us to wait for our tag number to be called for the interview (I thought it was going to be a board room interview but what I saw was like a child’s play) I did not know the interview was already going on because we entered the hall a bit late due to the security check. The guy in window 14 was friendly and straight to business no waste of time he approved 5 families before we were interviewed by the nice elderly man @ window 16 who also approved 3 different families before our turn but thorough. There was a particular couple he interviewed one after the other for like 3 rounds and they were with baby but he later approved their visa, but the oga at the window 15 only interview one applicant for more than 1 hour and he asked the man to produce a particular document before 1p.m. (Please when you are seated try as much as possible to see what is going on because while we were seated we saw the positioning for the thumb print and I explain the process to my wife as this gave us some credit because the CO was just saying beautiful good till we were done). Our number beeped at window 16, we were asked to raise our hand to raise our right hand to take an oath, we did. He showed us the document sent to KCC and asked us to sign and we did. He saw us exchanging our baby who was sleeping to another to enable us complete the finger print and signing so he asked my wife to go and sit down with the baby that he has some questions for me.

Co: why did you play this lottery
Me: To enable me go to America to learn new things and give back to the Americans what I’ve learnt
Co: Do you have any relative in America
Me: Yes my host ( He checked the form and mention his name and his address) I said yes.
Co: How is he to you.
Me: A family friend.
Co: Apart from your host who else do you have in America
Me: No one
Co: Any member of your wife family in America
Me: No.
Co: Tell me about your highest level of education.
Me: When I sent the form to KCC I had OND but now I am through with my B.sc
Co: In what?
Me: Banking & Finance.
Co: How many years did complete you programe.
Me: 5 years (He wanted to raise and exception and I quickly told him it was a part time programe)
Co: Oh I see.
Me: I smiled.
Co: Do you have any other child apart from your son?
Me: No.
Co: What about your wife?
Me: No.
Co: Were you present when your wife gave birth?
Me: Yes.
Co: Where?
Me: Gbagada Lagos.
Co: I mean is it Hospital or traditional
Me: Hospital.
Co: For how long was she in the labour?
Me: We got to the hospital 6.am in the morning and she gave birth 10.pm
Co: Was it CS or normal birth?
Me: Normal birth.
Co: When was she discharged?
Me: The following day. He was amazed.
He brought out 2 paper circle the address and asked me to pick the visa next week and the other paper for visa payment.
Co: Any question.
Me: I said no sir. Before he go change his mind. He returned my original document.

Na so God do am ooo. He still dey do me like a dream.

Ournaija: Hello House,

As a winner, do my brother need to register and pay for the GREEN card online before departing Nigeria? Or do you think it better he do it over there? Please reply before we make avoidable mistakes.

Thanks.

Are you the winner or your brother? The principal applicant & beneficiary are to pay the USCIS immigrant fee. Its will be better if he pays before departing. Use GTB naira card. It works good.

edojariogba: thanks alot @ jasper400 for the reply. pls will it be wise for me to do two seprate affidavit one for my middle name nd the other for date of birth? am so worried now than ever becos of those two issues in my waec certificate

No, They can address both issue on one affidavit since its about a waec certificate. You are suppose to collect your police report same day.
