Nearly the end of October and no new USA visa lottery draw! Where is OBAMOWAMMER who has promised all year on here that this would happen ? He needs to appologise to all forumites for his statements. |

Congratulations to you and the family. Indeed, really happy for you. Thanks for sharing vividly the experience which is invaluable to us going in for interview soon. God's grace as you prepare for the journey into God's own Country. G2Glory: My Fellow Forumities, Good morning to you all and we are highly excited to inform the house that we had a successful & wonderful interview this morning.
It is the Lord's doing & it's marvelous in our sight. I am very grateful for the exprience/advice shared on this forum. By the grace of God almighty we shall all end with shouting of rejoicing in Jesus name.
Now, our Itinerary:
Pre_interview Activities: - All documentation were properly arranged with Principal applicant leading. - Ensured the originals & Photocopies (Birth certificate, Police report, School Certificates & Medicals) are in order. - We ensure no document(s) was missing & did a thourogh check before leaving. - We had a review all the forms sent KCC & had a dry run interview with my spouse for consistency. - We got the children involved by reminding them of their birthdays. -We prayed & sought for God's favour & help before leaving home. -We had a baby after sending our forms to KCC & we had notified them (LagosIV) before the interview date. -We prepared his own DS230 form & presented it at the venue. - We left home early enough & arrived at embassy by 5.45am and drove in with the entire family.
At the Embassy: By 6am, we moved in & there was a briefing & 2 lines were formed for Immigrant & Non-Immigrant - Were instructed to remove phones, electronic gadgets, oil, liquid, metal object but i was allowed in with my car key. - Were instructed to please open your medical envelopes (All seal envelopes must be opened & failure to do that point may resulted in turning you back - pls be attentive to the instruction) - At first point: Principal applicant was called & requested for 2NL, then we were given a slip for payment, blue tags & number was given to us. - Another slip was given to us to fill in Principal applicant name, email & Address. - Next we got seated & waited for security checks (Pls ensure you abide the instruction to do away those items that are forbidden). - We moved inside for final security check (scanning machine) before we were ushered into the hall. - As you entered, you will be given a number that will serve you for the day. Immigrant applicant were other to seat separately. - We waited patiently until they called our number for payment - we did that in USD & issued a receipt (don't misplace it). - We got seated & waited for sometime before they started attending to Immigrant visa. - About six(6) families came this morning & first two families were granted. - About few minutes to 9am, my spouse was called & moved toward the counter with new baby & i was called as well. - We were told to raise up our right hand make an oath to say the truth & we did accordingly. All forms were given to us to sign & either of us signed for the children. - Our fingreprints were taken. I was instructed to go & sit down while my spouse was to be interviewed. - The conversation goes thus:
CO: Your name? Spouse: Answer according
CO: when did u get married? Spouse: Answer accordingly
CO: Where do u work & what is your role? Spouse:Answer accordingly
CO: You had a baby after submitting your form to KCC & what are the proof to show? Spouse: DS 230 form was submitted & signed there, we presented the photograph for naming, church dedication, photograph showing family members with us during the naming, etc
CO: Have been to US? Spouse: No
Now the CO called me for clarification: CO: Have u been to US before? Me: No
CO: You have a valid visa & why have you not used it? Me: I explained that i was to go for a conference but had to postpone to later date.
CO: She said CONRATULATIONS. Brought 2 papers & handed it over to my spouse & explained what we need to do. All our originals were returned.
Spouse: Bursted to laughter & we gave all glory to GOD for this milestone.
Lesson & Advice for Others:
- I saw someone that came with passport phoograph that did not meet specification. Pls adhere to instruction. The person was lucky & was told to go out & take a correct one.
- Someone international passport dropped from his enveloped & never knew only for someone to find it & return it to the security guys.
-Pls avoid anything that can put on pressure & ensure that you arrnge your document very well.
- For us, they did not collect the photocpies of police report i strongly advice you go with it on the day of interview. - Stay focus & don't manipulate in any way & by the grace of GOD we all stand 99.999% of getting if you meet the requirement.
More gist later, i need to go - GOD us all.

Madu77:
My brother, I had a mail from them to download form ds230, fill it, get all prove for the birth of the new baby(NPC birth certificate, ante natal record of ur wife if posible scan record plus all pixs showing ceremony for the baby). I nearly made a mistake by send the form I filled and I quickly went to fedex to stop the mail and retrieved it. I had written them that I had a baby even when I filled my form I indicated that my wife was pregnant. Hope these clears the air @Madu77 thanks for the reply. However are you suggesting that I shouldn't send the DS230 forms for the baby to KCC again? Secondly I wrote KCC a few weeks before my wife put to bed of the situation and their reply was the auto-response email telling me to fill new forms and attach all relevant documents. My wife actually put to bed a two weeks ago and like I mentioned I won't be current until January or February. Kindly help she'd more light on this. Thanx |

Good morning. Please give her the link to where she can download the form. She needs Adobe Reader XI to be able to fill the form on the system, save it before printing it. Then she will sign the part she has to sign i.e. Part I of the form and leave Part II. After that, she'd need to send the form as well as her passports photograph to you, so that you include it with yours before sending it to KCC via courier which you can track. Never send yours separately and hers later; disqualification. Take care. great ideal there, but i disagree with the ideal of carrier if you ask me i will say you should send the package by email it will save you alot you know.

The righteous are as bold as a lion. As long as your documentation are correct and intact, the interview is just a mere appearance to verify if it is truly you.
Only be courteous, compose and confident; even at the face of mistake; put up a smile. I forgot my primary place of assignment for my NYSC when asked and was just saying emm, emm, but with a smile. Obviously the CO knew it was over-preparation and just laughed! Be yourself even when waiting to be called and it will turn out well! Congratulations in advance Bro. Thanks.. (((hugs))) 1 Like |

Even when I filled the form I told them that my wife was pregnant and later told them that she put to bed. If u send that form, it may shift your interview date. I will be current January by God's grace and I retrieved the mail I sent to Kcc via fedex because their reply said that I should come with passport for baby, visa fee, filled ds230 for for her and proves of birth.

Obatide: Happy weekend to everybody, GOD blessed my family with a new baby recently and I have been busy with some other schedules recently, that's why I have not posted here since.
Congratulations to all members who got their 2nd NL recently including my family's own that came the second day after birth of our new baby, God will grant us all, successful interview.
To those who have gone for medicals & police reports, congrats, may we all have successful interview by God's Grace.
However, I observed the low percentage of interview testimonies here in this October, is it that people were not that current or they are concealing the works of GOD?
Lets endeavor to share as they all help others Congratulations on the addition to ur family. because of Jacob God blessed Laban, because of this bundle of joy God will bless n take ur family to ur desired city in the USA IJN amen. |
