Spoondar:
Case ID is your case number and the A number is your Alien number always starts with A it is on your Immigrant Summary Sheet on the sealed envelope that you are to give the immigration officers at the point of Entry
to add to your answer spoondar said on the sealed envelope not in the envelope DONT open the envelope. for the cheap flights check british airline or delta dont use an agent.

chirpywest: My felloow nairalanders in the united states, please the newly immigrated ones needs your opinion and experience on survival no matter the state you lives and profession you are into. Let us know the most vital or lucrative profession that will enable new immigrants to stand on their feet speedily.
Please whatever experience you had when you newly migrated will be of greater help to the newly migrated ones so we don't stagnate for long before establishing. Be it the certification courses,the profession, the business and even the way of living or lifestyle will be appreciated wella.
Contribution from every one with vital informations will be highly valued. Thanks.
there is nothing like lucrative every job if done well is lucrative. this is what i know, some people when they got here, they registered with working agencies who got them their jobs. some went for a 3 weeks or one month CNA courses and are working as CNAs. some also decided to put their resumes out there to big time shops like walmart and target. here is the fact no matter where you find yourself, you have to make sure you still go to school here so u can get a promotion where you working. jobs are hourly paid so you work more hours you become lucrative, you work less hours is from hand to mouth the choice is yours

jonnywalker: hi pals,thanks everyone for tryin to help.i mistakenly handed the package to them when they requested.there was no legal document backing it.it was verbal.they came to my workplace to register me for no fee n called in may to notify me.they said when they continue the visa application,they charge$7000.it was verbal. they used that court issue to convince us to proceed cos we told them we can't get 7000.they said when i get the visa n i don't have 7000,i can make 2/3payment n sign agreement to pay the rest within a year but now they've denied this.they're requesting full payment.with the lil expreience acquired from dis forum,i never wanted to hand it over to them but my parents made me did that cos it's the people who payed the processin fees,i mean medicals,police cert,visa fees.my. they said if i don't make full payment,they'll sell it.i'm asking if it's possible to sell?SHOULD I inform the embassy or that will complicate things?i wanted a peaceful agreement but they an't ready for that.i can't get all the 7000 ,ticket n pocket money thus why i'm askin if there is any other means to get my package back.thanks.
they cant sell it. your finger print and your picture is attached to that visa. why do u think they took your fingerprint at the embassy? the are just trying to scare u

Somali documents if written in any other language apart from english should have been translated to english before taking it to the embassy. they are now going to take time and translate it before investigating it

Journi2America: I am a JJC in the house but i nid some clarifications. Because if u go tru previous posts u will notice that some people claim that they were sent notification for corrections of bio data... If it is tru, then improperly filled form is not a hold bar for selection? Or what do u guys think.....Explaination pls.
the issue has to do with omitting to mention a child or a spouse in the application that is not an error that is not a mistake to them it is fraud.

On the 8th (thursday) I got an email from d consulate that he should come with photocopies of his documents to the embassy any day of the week besides friday.

Imcool: Hi Adzovia, is it until one gets to the US before one can get and also put money into d visa gift card or can it be done in one's home country before departure? Plz shed more light on this and in any of d cases above that is accepted, what's d procedure of obtaining the visa gift card and subsequently putting money into it? Just for d benefit of d ppl who are planning to travel soon. Thanks
it can only be done here by going to the bank and asking for it. you give them cash and the give you the card. someone else here can even do it for you.

loconzo00:

Adzovia that visa gift card is just as you have described it . Just as obtainable here in Europe but if the fees are supposed to be paid before traveling to US, then it might just not be within the reach of someone who is yet to leave. That's what i mean.
By the way how are you people brazing up for approaching snow storm.
I understand you are in New Jersey. I shall be heading that way with my family as soon as we obtain our visa next month by His grace.
Stay blessed.

I think winners are required to pay before their departure for US.
Visa gift card will not likely work in this case.
are you sure my dear? cause i have put most of my money on a visa gift card and it has been accepted everywhere. online in shops etc....... is just like a debit card good to give out to someone you want to dash money here in the states and also good for people like us who just moved here with no account and no credit to get a credit card. is just like a visa debit card i have used it and i know but if you saying the payment has to be made back in Nigeria or other countries before they come then that is great.

As I got to the Ghana embassy today to pick up my VISA I was called together with 3 other people and I asked to wait cos the CO wanted to meet us. The CO called me and I gave me a form to fill asking for additional information. She then told me my VISA was not ready and that I have been put on Administrative Processing. She said they will call me after they are done with that. She didn't tell me any reason why I was put on AP all she said was they would call me. She collected the green sheet and gave me a white paper to go and wait to be called. Pls house can anyone help me with regards to what is happening?? I am soo shattered right now. The only issue I had was the wrong DOB in my initial entry which they never asked during the interview plus I have a sworn affidavit for that. House pls help me...
dear as long as all your documents are genuine you dont have a problem they will call you after checking all your documents and your response to the questions asked by the co

Leripa: @all: still on the new fee that takes effect from 1st of Feb, 2013.
It is clearly stated that, ''if you are unable to make this payment, another person can make this payment for you.''
To me, writing any embassy is a loooooooooong thing. Just follow the stated instructions. That's all.
dear let me sate here that for a host to agree to pay your green card fee for you is a miracle. regardless of who your host is. you can get to the states get a visa gift card which also couples as a form of credit card to pay but asking someone else to pay for you will end up with them giving you an excuse why you should not even come and stay in the first place. look asking the embassy is not any loonnnnng thing what if they have a way you could pay in your country before coming here. if you think is long then advice anyone who so wishes to ask their host to pay for them they will pay later and see what will happen. usa is not Nigeria or Ghana.
Travel / Re: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by adzovia(f): 2:54pm On Feb 08, 2013
this is my take on the green card fee people who have been issued their visa after February 1st should do. email your respective embassies where you received your visa and inquire on the process. it is common knowledge that most African countries do not have credit cards or our credit cards are not accepted at least by paypal. so please call or email your embassies am sure there is a laid down procedure for those coming here maybe the embassy will take the money and issue you a receipt or something. call or email

sina_adegoke: When I registered in Nov 2011, I applied as a single applicant cos I registered late, and my family was not around for me to take their pictures and stuff. Now I've been invited to the interview venue as a single applicant. Can some1 pls advise me on things to look out for, so I don't expose myself, cos it could be construed as a deliberate attempt to defraud the US govt? I don't know.\

I also want to know if Tax clearance certificate is required.
your case is complicated from experience those who apply single and go married to the interview are normally refused. i advice you go single and later file for your family depending on when you got married. but please maybe other gurus in the house can advice u better.and you have to be honest that is the rule of the game. when you are honest you are not refused. you filed single whiles you were marrried return your forms to kcc stating you were single hence the single interview seriously i think you should pray
