I just want to thank The Lord for accomplishing the great work he started.I landed safe and sound yesterday in New York JFK airport around 5pm New York time.I commenced the journey by getting to the airport on the evening of the 8th of January since my check-in was scheduled for 3am of the following morning.I was surprised to meet some of my co-travelers for the flight sleeping on the bare floor of MMA! The flight took off as scheduled and landed after 4hours in Casablanca. There was a stopover of 2 hours before we took a connecting flight to New York.The flight was unnecessarily delayed for close to an hour because of lot of people connecting the same flight.After about 8hours in the air we landed in New York JFK.After waiting for almost 2hours at the customs ,I was finally ushered into the United States officially.One important thing I noticed at customs is that there are several DV winners from the Francophone countries. A friend of my brother was already waiting for me at the arrival,he then led me through the airport train to New York subway to connect to Manhattan.From here,I boarded a bus for a 3 hour trip to Binghamton.From here my brother picked me up for a trip of almost 45minutes to Elmira.I will like to use this medium to thank all contributors on this forum.For all waiting to be current and those waiting for their interview,I pray for the divine favor of God on you.God bless America!

kinzzo112: Yestarday was our interview, God favoured my wife and I. Our appointment time was 7am, by 5.30am, we were already at the Gate, waiting. Before 6.30am it fill up to its capacity. Exactly 6.30am we were called to line up(immigrant and non-immigrant). we went through all the normal security checks. We Got there pick our tag number(B......) we sat for few minutes, our names were called for documents submission. we went to window 17, a black lady there told us to go ahead and make payment before she could collect those documents. we made the payment(660 dols). And we went back to her again. that was were God started His work! after the documents were submitted(including our marriage certificate) she told us to bring our passport photographs, after looking at my wife's own, said she is not comfortable with what she used in hair, that if we had any other passport with us, which we said no, that passport was rejected, look at how the woman was looking everywhere for us search for another replacement, at last she has to remove the ones KCC sent to the embassy and used it for us. we were asked to sit that our number will called again. Mind you before we left home, we had prayed for us to be interviewed by the black lady at window 13 cos we have read about the way she favoured people. our eyes was in her window, we saw her approving two visas to different people, So here God did another Wonder! when she was done, she called another number B...., she waited for several minutes for this person to come up for interview, the particular person never showed up, she had to drop the forms and details, she went to pick another form, behold, it was our number she called, we smiled to each we stood-up to meet her. The interview was just within 10 minutes, no long thing!
took our finger print, take the oath and it went this way:
CO: You were the winner:
mywife: yes
CO:How low long have you been playing DV?
CO: Who played it for you
CO: How long have you been married?
CO:what do you do?
mywife: i teach and also a student
CO: how do cope with both:
mywife: am partime student, i only go to school weekends
CO: OOK, I C.
CO: which of the marriage you people did
mywife: court registry and it was celebrated in the church
CO: you have any pictures from the wedding:
mywife: gave her all the pictures( during the bride prize payment, the ones during dating, and the wedding)
I noticed she was looking for some particular pictures, immediately she saw them, she stopped and gave us back all the pictures, i noticed her typing into her system.
The only question i was asked:
CO: What do you do?
me: A network engineer.
CO: ok, you also work and go to school?
me: yes
she typed again
CO: congratulations yous visa has been approved!
she brought out a paper, circle an address told us to collect visas in a later date.

My people na so i see am reach!

HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR US!

Thanks to contributing and non-contributing members of this great thread.my day starts and end with this thread and have come to realize the only thing needed for success in life is when everybody lend a helping hand like is been done here.I set out around 5am this morning for the embassy but was 10minutes into the the journey before discovering my x-ray was missing,had to return to pick to it up.finally got to the embassy by 6am.After been ushered into the the embassy around 7am,payment made and and documents collected,the immigrant visa interview started around 8.30am.The white co at window14 was the 1st to start the interview.sooner enough she was joined by the black co at window 13.strange enough the first denial of the day was by the black American lady.Thereafter every other person came out smiling.I discovered that the white co at window 16 is very detailed and she had just a lady throughout the duration of my stay.The window 15guy is also detailed but not as rigourous as that of 16.I was finally called to window13 around 9.28am.
Co:good Morning
Me:good morning to you(beaming with smiles)
Co:can you Please sign here
I did
Co:raise your hand and swear
I did
Co:what do you do now
Me:train people on Ccna&network infrastructure and also do maintenance 4 clients

Me:have been in IT b4 completing my degre through a brother
Co:any experience?

Co:what is your highest education qualification?
Me:BSc in Economics
Co:what school?

Co:what did he teach you?
Me:research methodology
Co:name another one

Co:the person you'll be staying with in US,who is he to you and where does he stay
Me:my younger brother upstate NY
Co:what does he do

Co:when did he get to the states and how?
Me:8yrs ago and he also won a dv-lottery
Co:waoh! Your family is a lucky one?
Me:you can say that again(now we were both laughing)
Co:married?and kids?
Me:none
Co:pls pick up your visa next week monday at the circled address
Me:thanks and have a lovely day!
One thing that people need to know is that no 2 experiences are the same.You have to smile a lot even if you saying what you are not sure,those co likes confident ones.I pray everybody awaiting their 2nl and interview will be successful.
