Kemzone2003: @TIWANA....The lesson you can learn from open forums like this is to always quote your reference anytime you post an advice for anyone so that the content cannot be regaded as your own thought.
let us all be guided because even when we write stuff that are not our creation we should give credits to the original owner of such work.

FOR EXAMPLE..Documents the Applicant Must Submit at the Visa Interview Appointment

@MODERATORS....Lets Keep up the goood work.. But We need Caution from past DV winners not to wash down this thread with unrelated discussions and joke on this thread..issues of post-interview activities like flight booking and settling down in the US should be discussed on another new Thread created for that purpose or conclude that on the 2012 DV Thread....Note that 2013 Thread is for those preparing for their own interview and obviously thye dont enjoy the joke and distraction you guys are bringing to the thread..I know this might invite a swift reaction from some of the culprit but let us be guided by our words.

I am just expressing the thought of many in good faith...Sorry if my words get to you in the process

There is no media, or public forum on earth where people don't make jokes or put up an argument, Telling the moderator to kick people out of a thread is quite absurd.Is it better to fight than making jokes, because you never complain of fighting on the thread.

Hello House,
Please I would like to ask a question.
I just did my police report and after doing so . I found out that it is valid for three months.
My interview is in a month's time .
So my question is the police report's validity period for the Embassy interview or for the when one arrives at the destination airport i.e U.S.A

@adesojiaderemi i really appreciate ur response thanks 4 embracing peace,GOD bless u and kemzone2003

Soji..Pls kindy read the comment of mine that generated this controversy and tell me what i said wrong...I knew i might step on toes with my advise..it was just an advise....I had already apologize in arrears..Thats why i found it difficult to comprehend why you flared.

Never the less....there are people who are guest all the time on this forum...usually they are aged above 40yrs old....they just watch but do not like commenting on the thread becoz someone who might be the age of their beneficiary will pour insult on them....I decided to bring myself down to break this jinx by coming signing on and communicate at your level for knowledge sharing sake.

I Plead with you all...I respect you as gentlemen who have taken the right and inteligent step at the early phase of your lives...Kindly potray the New Nigeria in you and Lets be guided accordingly.

Thank you for reading my sermon..

Hi people..this is my first post here. Thank you for the posts so far, they have really been helpful
I have a challenge.
I have sent my forms to KCC and they have confirmed receipt. However, I do not remember which signature i used in filling the form. Let me explain. I used to have a signature which i was always using (that is the one on my international passport), but the banks complained of it being irregular. As a result, I had to change to a more regular one which I now use. The problem is, I lost the extra copy of the DS Forms I filled, and I do not remember which signature i used.
I tried calling them, but they wont give me any help.
What do you think I should do!!!

NO WORRY URSELF..JUST TELL THEM THE CO THE SAME STORY WEY U JUST NARATE NOW IF HIM ASK...THEY ARE HONEST MISTAKES WITH NO INTENT FOR FRAUD...SO YOU ARE GOOD...TAKE A DEEP SLEEP AND YOU WILL BE FINE

IN ADDITION...LET ME SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOU ON PREPARATION THEY MAKE AT THE EMBASSY BEFORE YOU EVEN LINE UP AT THE GATE ON YOUR INTERVIEW DATE..SOME WONDER WHAT THE CO IS CHECKING ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN..THEY HAVE READY MADE QUESTION FOR YOU THAT FITS YOUR PROFILE..THIS IS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE PROCEDURE USED BY THE CONSULAR OFFICER.

PREPARING FOR APPOINTMENT WITH APPLICANT
a. When appearing at the appointed time for the formal visa appointment, an applicant is entitled to receive prompt attention. The post should pull and review the following prior to the appointment, preferably the preceding day:
(1) Form DS-230, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, or the online IV application report associated with the submitted Form DS-260, Online Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration; and
(2) Any documents that may have been filed in the A-Z file.
b. The consular officer must send unclassified material to the document checker for review. The consular officer must review classified material.

CLASS NAMECHECKS FOR IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICANTS
The post must namecheck all immigrant visa applicants on the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS). This check is conducted automatically by the automated immigrant visa processing system. Although the national visa center (NVC) performs a preliminary CLASS check on applicants for whom the NVC schedules appointments before sending files to posts abroad, the consular officer must update this clearance by performing a final CLASS check immediately prior to the applicant's interview date.

Thanks for the info @Kemzone2003. Can you please update your information with the relevant source? Thank you.

WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN THE TIME THEY COLLECT YOUR DOCUMENTS AND THE TIME THEY CALL YOU FOR THE INTERVIEW PROPER...THEM DON RESEARCH YOU WELL WELL..ALL THE SUBJECT WEY U DO FOR SCHOOL..EVERYYYY LIKE MY SMALLY GO SAY FOR WARRI..THIS TIME SEE REFERENCE LINK BELOW FOR DETAILS...ITS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT NOTHING CONFIDENTIAL...THIS IS WHAT IMMIGRATION LAWYERS KNOW THAT YOU DONT KNOW...COURTESY NAIRALAND YOU HAVE IT..IT WILL HELP ALL THOSE PREPARING FOR DV 2013 INTERVIEW TO KNOW WHAT AND WHAT NOT TO DO AS REGARDS DOCUMENT

1.FUNCTIONS PRELIMINARY TO INTERVIEW
Initial Duties of Document Checker
When the applicant presents the documents, the post must check the documents for completeness and legibility. The document checker should ensure each question on Form DS-230, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, or Form DS-260, Online Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, has been answered. If a question does not apply, posts should write “not applicable” or “NA” in the space for the answer. (For example, some questions do not apply to small children. Posts should not use dashes or Xs (except when marking "yes-no" boxes). If Form DS-230 is illegible or incomplete, the document checker must return it to the applicant for completion or give the applicant a new form to be completed legibly. If Form DS-260 is incomplete, the document checker must reopen the application via the “Reopen DS-260” button at the top of the online IV application report and direct the applicant to log back onto the Consular Electronic Application Center and complete the missing information. If necessary, the document checker may assist the applicant in completing the application.

Paying Processing Fee
a. In cases where the applicant has submitted Form DS-230, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, once the medical forms and other documents have been placed in logical order and the Form DS-230 is complete and legible, the alien must take the form to the cashier and pay the processing fee. The alien must pay before the interview. After the fee has been paid, the document checker must give the documents, including Form DS-230, the medical forms, applicable printouts from the automated system, and any papers from the A-Z file, to the consular officer who will interview the applicant.

VISA INTERVIEW
The interview with the consular officer is the most significant part of the visa issuing process. It is particularly important from the point of view of full and correct application of the law. Section 237 of Public Law 106-113 and subsequent legislation requires that the Department establish a policy under which immediate relative (and fiancé(e)) visas be processed within 30 days of receipt of the necessary information from the applicant and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); all other family-based immigrant visas (IV) must be processed within 60 days. The Department expects all posts to strive to meet the 30/60 day requirements.

INTERVIEW EVEN IF DOCUMENTATION IS MISSING

a. In addition to the inconvenience and expense caused to the alien (particularly an alien applying with family members), it is generally inefficient for the post if an application is not taken and the interview not conducted on the appointment date. In a busy post, the number of daily interviews is set to maximize the use of space and personnel. A canceled interview results in a gap in that day’s productivity without gain, since the interview must be rescheduled for another day. In addition, there is no guarantee that the alien will be found eligible the second time around. Rescheduling causes administrative backlogs, which, in turn, result in lost time answering correspondence and responding to telephone inquiries.
b. As a general rule, therefore, consular officers should accept applications from and interview all applicants appearing on the appointed date. If an applicant fails to present all of the required documentation, the applicant should nevertheless pay the processing fee and be interviewed by the consular officer who must then refuse the application under INA 221(g). The consular officer should tell the applicant or a member of the family to mail or bring in the missing documentation, and also the issuance fee, and make clear that the visa(s) will be issued immediately if the documentation is found acceptable
