ernestleon: Can someone give me a clue on what's a long birth cert in Nigeria,I have the green type from the National population Commission.I don't know if that's what they require


NPC has got 2types of Birth certificate. D short one and the long one that looks like A4 paper.

I just read throu travel.state.gov. They said
Notice: All Immigrant Visa applicants must submit a long form original birth certificate. Short form birth certificates will not be accepted.

If ur NPC is in a short form. You need to do the long one @ their office in surulere, lagos

I think 5 years starts counting from the current fiscal year to 5 years back. Just as we are in 2013 now, they'd count from now till 5 years back, not from 1996.

bigfrancis21:

Please, why was your DV2012 result cancelled? Enlighten me please.
DV2012 was cancelled, as result of error associated in the program created for random selection of applicants. The first 4days entrants during registration period where selected, n that does not reflect a true random selection of entrants. So it was botched, n another draw took place/ result released around July2012.

sted303: I want an enquiry for a friend. He applied for business visa last year and the guy that filled his DS 160, just to claim tie with nigeria, he went ahead to claim he's married, while he is not, he filled married in his DS160. Now he applied as single for the DV lotery and was selected for further processing and want to go there single cos he is not married in the first place. Now would this affect him being denied visa? Well he was denied business visa last year.
house please help. I need a response.

If you filled married, then prepare to go for your interview with ample evidence, your so-called wife, your marriage certificate, both of you must read/study DV2013winners meet here trending resources, to enable you guys become resourceful,n vast in what you are expected to say.More especially tell the truth. If you are not married buh you have erroneously filled married, am afraid,except God's divine intervention. Just be truthful....Because TRUTH IS THE LIGHT THAT DESTROY DARKNESS OF FEAR N FAILURE........

I don't think you read my question properly or understood what I was saying. My friend said he applied for visa last year FEB as he was in a hurry to leave the country, he met and agent who fixed travelling stuff for him and filled married in his DS160 just to create ties. But he was denied visa. He played the lottery 2013 and was selected this may for further processing. He is actually single and filled his DV lottery application as single. He wants to process his DV lottery visa as single. I want to know if the Previous DS160 he filled for his business visa would affect him (married).

Don't be too sure ooo cos dis people dnt joke wit their data base...abi no bi d same embassy. I wuld want to believe dat dey wuld ve a dept dat cross chck these infos. As far as u have applied for a visa, whether granted or denied, most esp if denied, they are likely to cross check whether any info given now is true, has changed, or was fraudulently given or obtained. Hope u r favoured. All da best!

I wuld say his chances of a successful interview is slim but let's hope ur friend is favoured.
Bottom line, when d CO ask him if he has ever applied for a US visa before, he should tell d truth, d whole truth n nothing but d truth, cos non disclosure or outright lie has resulted to applicants being denied visa. HE SHOULD BE HONEST!

His previous business visa entry containing 'married' is likely to be on the US consular database. However he's single and wants to process the lottery as single. When he gets to the interview he should say only the truth and stick to the truth. If questions are raised on the married/single issue, let him say the truth by telling them the agent who filled his form mistakingly filled married for the agent thought he was married. However, he's not.

no be say they may have the database. They have everything. Remember he did fingerprint. To me its a very difficult decision if u decide to go ahead. And remember u ve swore to say the truth. One option is forging a divorce certificate or wathever and hold it on ur interview day because weather u like it or not they will ask u why u filled married for the biz visa and they wont bliv its a mistake. Pls think constructively bfore making ur decision to go ahead. Remember america wants the truth and while saying the truth u might be denied based on that. Think right.

Would it be advisable for him to forge? My opinion is that since some married people and even parents that played the lottery applied as single (Ik.Swiss mother for example), he could still claim married but going alone. cheesy

Just saying#

I get you bigfrancis. I was of the opinion that he should get married to his Fiance as quickly as possible(court marriage), then file for her since his status has changed. Then when they ask him, he should tell the VO that he only did traditional marriage and this is his court wedding he's just doing now

If you includes him then you stand a good chance of been refused a visa. You said you got no kid when you played and now you are claiming that you have a kid?

I guess you only calculated the number of visa lottery winner immigrants from 5 years back. you should know that visa lottery is not the only way to immigrate to US. In-fact the easiest way to immigrate to the US is through marriage to a US citizen ; there are thousands of Nigerians who get married to US citizens. For example, there are thousands of Nigerian-Americans who come back home to get married to Nigerians. Also many Nigerian students and overstay Nigerians in the States end up getting married to Americans and end up getting the green-card.. so if you add the number Spouse visa and Visa lottery green card in the past 5 years I guess it should be more than 50000. The reason why countries like China and Mexico have never be qualify for the visa lottery is because the number of spouse visa green-card every 5 years exceed 50000. So I won't be surprise if Nigeria is not qualify for the next 5 years too.

You can't apply as single with 0 children and later say u are single with 1 child. It is 2 different statement. You will just disqualify yourself and give somebody else ur slot. Dats all ! Simple as ABC! So be wise and go with ur previous status declaration.

Go as a single person or include your child then get disqualified and stay back in Nigeria with your child
