junkerhill: @Gentiger, u ar nw a celeb on this forum. Everybdy is shoutn ur name, givin u many sweet names and congratulating u. Its a good thing. They are simply showing their gratitude cos u hav helped us a lot on this forum to solve som of the of our problems. You showed us that one can really hav a brother from another mother and another land. U did what many friends could not. You spent your tym, energy and money to sEe that ppl are giving the ryt counsel on how to go about their issue. You showed us how to carry other people's burden and also how to be our brother's keeper. If many Nigerians were lik you this country would hav been a great nation. Nobdy will be striving to get out of this country. But nevertheless, God knows the best. I believe it shall be well some day.
Congrats bro. May u be treated as u hav treated us. May you be helped as u hav helped others, may ur burden be carried by someone as u carried other people's burden. May your love for the progress and prosperity of others give u a heavenly open door that can never be closed by anybody.
Daalu nwa nne m nwoke. Ihe I mere di m mma. Ka Onye bi n'eligwe za ekpere gi niile. Amen!!!

Junkerhill, now you are trying to draw tears from my eyes. But tigers don't cry. I will be here all the time for others. I stumbled into some documents I believe will make the journey so easy for those coming behind. I'll publish them tomorrow. You won't need much assistance from anyone after going through them.

Thanks my darling brother. You're the hero. I am greatly inspired by you.
Re: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by tycoon77(m): 10:45pm On Jan 18, 2013
Gentiger: Let me begin by thanking you all. You're all truly wonderful and dearly loved. I appreciate Spoondar, Kemzone, Temmy, Adesoji, Brightmon, Ifeanyi.Abdul, Jidedon, Adzovia, Tiwana, Bussyme, Gunners4u, Junkerhill, Honeydee, Remmy, ChirpyWest, Ibracadabra, and everyone not expressly mentioned. I wish I could remember all your beautiful names. Thank you all for the prayers and inspiration. God bless you all.

I left the house by 4:45am and arrived 5:20am. We observed all the necessary protocols and the checks and got ushered in. I purposely sat in such a away as to have a clear view of the white lady everyone dreads. I needed to inderstand her methods, temperament and ideology should in case I am sent to her.

She denied virtualy everyone who got to her desk. I realized it's not about the woman. It's about the applicants who come ill-prepared. She wants to be sure you TRULY MERIT the visa. Her question are not difficult but tricky and searching. From my interactions with her, I figured she must be a lawyer or someone with legal exposure. She asked me questions, more of a cross examination using legal terms known only to legal minds.

Now this is the secret to dealing with her. Learn forward and look her right in the eyes. That makes her uncomfortable and less composed. It's like turning the table against her. Answer her questions with CONFIDENCE even If you're not so sure of the answers. Maintain eye contact and be polite to a fault. Her approach could make you edgy and could provoke anger in her which always prompts her to deny without mercy. Keep a smiling face and raise your pitch when responding to her query. Use gestures too. All these played out to my favour. Above all, I realized she appreciates good command of English Language. But really, how can you claim to be a graduate and unable to make a sentence that's error-free? Let's polish our vocab.

Me: Good morning lady (with smiles)
Co: Thank you
Me: You're welcome.
Co: Do you swear to tell the truth?
Me: (Still smiling) Absolutely. I do.
Co: Put your fingers on the machine. I want to capture your prints.
Me: Ok maam.....
She takes my prints .....
Co: Thank you
Me: You're welcome.
Co: What's your highest Qualification?
Me: LLB, BL.
Co: Which aspect of law are you specialized in?
Me: Bla bla bla.
Co: Tell me all you know about a valid contract and what makes a contract enforceable?
Me: I lectured her with decided cases and statutory provisions
Co: Tell me the aspect of law you find difficult.
Me: I told her.
To my surprise she began to lecture me on it. I chip in facts from time to time to buttress her points.
Co: Have your original documents
Me: Thank you maam! (With a broad smile)
Co: I am going to issue you a visa.

There were two sheets before her. One was for denial and the other for approval. She pulled the paper, circled an address and asked me to pick my visa on Friday next week. I enjoyed my time with her. I am sure she enjoyed my company. She's such a lovely Angel to chit-chat with.

Really!!! Congrats once again..... With power of dis forum am ready to face any CO
