₦airaland Forum

I wish those going for their interviews this week divine favour, especially my professional colleague bibi007

bibi007: whao am blsd to be part of this forum, all wat hv been trending in this fporum is absolutely correct
wat are the likely questions i maybe asked as a nurse educator, my wife also a nurse midwife. i got married 4wks after d dv registration ended in nov 4th, now i hv a baby girl, hope it will not affect my chances nxt week tuesday

Who is d principal applicant? If you are, then expect questions relating to where u wok, wat courses u teach(u may be asked to give details abt a specific course), general info abt nsg etc. U need 2 provide sufficient documented proof of ur marriage(i dnt xpect dis to be a problem). Go and claim ur visa. On a lighter note, we both hv some things in common like being nurse educators, married to nurse midwives, married abt 4wks after DV 2013 entry(Dec, 2011) and have a baby girl. There cud be more if we probe further. Wish u a successful interview

pjogutum1: HAPPY WEEKEND TO ALL MY E-FAMILY SEE YOU NEXT WEEK BY GOD'S SPECIAL GRACE.

same to you bro.

I got a cal 4rm a young lady abt 2wks ago. She asked if i was d person dat assisted some of her sch mates 2 enter for DV & i told her i was. She said she wanted to see and discuss something very important. I ddnt bother to ask her wat it was but wondered wat it cud be (cos i gave all of dem their CNs & it was nt yet 1st May). Nevertheless, we agreed dat she shud come to my place on a Sat morning. She came as agreed but her face was nt familiar. I took her up ön this but she said her sch mate her my no. Then, she informed dat she was a DV2013 selectee(a relation in d US entered 4 her) and has sent her forms 2 KCC. Seeing her case no(136xx), i told her she was already current and when i enquired abt her 2NL, she said she didnt have it bt dat she got a mail 4rm KCC. On checking her status, she saw dat her interview was slated for 7am on 2nd April. She told me dat d reasön she came to me was dat she knew nothing abt DV and what to do regarding d upcoming interview. First, I got her comfirmation no and keyed it into d DV website and got her 2NL, sent it to her email(with clear directive to print it later). Next, i asked if she had d necessary documents like birth cert, o'level certs etc. Fortunately, my kid bro(daddykelly) just came bak d previous day 4rm Lag after completing his medicals and police report and was in my house at d time. So, i introduced dem to each other. He gave her info regarding d procedure involved and gave her contacts dat wud make it easier for her to go thru d process without stress. While listing d requirements, we realised she ddnt have an intl pport. I quickly got in touch wit a friend who connected us to an immigration officer dat assisted in getting d pport in a day. She travelled to Lag 4 medicals & police report on Palm sunday and completed d process by wednesday of Holy week. I also introduced her to dis forum bt i'm not sure she followed up on it. However, i shared some testimonies of members of dis forum just to fire up her optimism. She had her interview on tuesday April 2. ...Details coming soon(make i flex my fingers)

bibi007: whao! what a place to be in dis forum, i hv been glossing thru all info. that hv been said on this forum its really awesome. am a public health nurse with a wife and a daughter how i fancy my chances for immigrant visa

Good day House,
To God be the Glory! Interview appointment was 10am today and it was successful; After going through all security checks and making necessary payments, we were called at window 20 to submit only 1 passport photograph, 1 photocopy and original of only birth certificates for 5 of us and marriage certificate. The guy at window 20 never even demanded for our academic credentials, and we wondered why?
We waited until our ticket number beeped!
CO: Good afternoon
US: Good afternoon
CO: How are you?
US: We are fine thank you, and you? He replied: very good
CO: Please do your thumb prints on the machine - we both did that
CO: Please raise your right hands and promise to .....
CO: To my wife, you are the principal applicant..... my wife answered yes
US: We remained standing with the kids for the interview. I was not asked to go and sit down with the kids

INTERVIEW PROPER
CO: What's is your highest educational qualification
My wife: Answered
CO: Do you have any document for this
My wife: She presents Original and 1 photocopy
CO: Do you have WAEC?
My wife: Yes, and presents her Original WAEC and 1 photocopy
CO: Everything is good, pulls out white paper and hands over to us!

To all members of this great forum, we remain eternally grateful. God bless you in your dreams!

Note: We had 2 birth certificates; the NPC, and the normal birth certificate for myself and my wife. The man at windows 20 looked at both, but choose the NPC. He remarked : your NPC certificate is a certified one (authenticated), and I said yes.
We prepared so hard; asked ourselves questions and even carried 2 big albums for courtship, introduction and wedding, but CO never asked us to present any album and only asked us 2 questions during the interview proper as highlighted above. We can clearly see God's favor and hands in our interview.
GENERAL ADVICE TO ALL: Please, let's not forget our God when we get to the U.S. When things are rosy, let's learn to hold on to God at such times more than when we encounter problems.

Congratulations

Rolling_138: Apologies for the late post, I didn’t take my laptop along to Lagos and just returned to my base.
We had our interview on Thursday 21 March and God granted us success. We got to the embassy around 6:20am and we didn’t wait for long when a man came out and asked us to cue for 6:30 non-immigrant and 7:00 Immigrant visa interview appointments. Got through all the rigorous security checks and finally entered the interview hall, paid the visa fees for our family of three, and submitted our documents at window 16. It didn’t take so long when the CO’s started showing up and the interview started. We were the second to be interviewed by the CO at window 15. He spent up to 25 minutes looking through our documents before our number flashed on the display for us to approach the counter.
My wife is the principal applicant and the interview went as follows;
CO: Goodmorning
We: Goodmoring
CO: Asks us to raise our right hand and does the oath thing; Do you swear to say the truth today and nothing but the truth
We: Yes we do
CO: Takes our fingerprints and asks me to go sit down with our baby while he chats with my wife

Wife: He was studying in the UK and had to come home every break ‘cos of his work
CO: What was he studying there ?

CO: When did you meet your husband?
Wife: Bleep Bleep Bleep
CO: Where did you meet your husband
Wife: Bleep town
CO: were you schooling in Bleep town?
Wife: I schooled in YYY town but met my husband in Bleep town, the distance is not that far, moreover our family house is in Bleep town.
CO: When did you travel to the UK?
Wife: DDMMYYYY
CO: Did you travel together with your husband?
Wife: No, he had to leave before me for his studies because my visa was not ready then.
CO: When did you come back to Nigeria
Wife: I can’t remember the exact date but it was Bleep month
CO: Opens wife’s passport and checks to confirm the date she was stamped back into Nigeria.
CO: Did you do your child naming?
Wife: Yes, we did
CO: Did any of your family member come over for the naming / dedication?
Wife: No, it was just friends and church members
CO: Can I see the pics
Wife: Sure; flips album to show him pics and talks about some people in the pictures.
CO: Can you please go and sit down and call me your husband.
Wife: Calls me and collects our baby from me.
CO: You studied Mechanical Engineering in the UK, what year did you start?
Me: I started in 2009
CO: Have you ever applied for a US visa before?
Me: Yes, I have.
CO: at that time what were you doing?
Me: I was working with company A
CO: so what happened, you left company A for B?
Me: No, I am still working for the same company; I’ve been with them for a long time now.
CO: Can I see your work Identity Card?
Me: I brought out my work Id. Card alongside a letter of introduction from my company and gave it to him. He collected both items and read through.
CO: oh that’s true; it’s like company A & B merged or something
Me: Yes, the companies merged.
CO: so was it the company that paid for your degree in the UK?
Me: No, I paid for my studies myself.
CO: Your mechanical engineering was it General Mechanical engineering or was it specifically related to the oil &gas industry
Me: it was general mechanical engineering.
CO: When did you get married?
Me: 2010, did the church wedding on December XX, 2010.
CO: Can you tell me where you met your wife?
Me: I met my wife in a supermarket in Bleep town.
CO: one moment please. He left and went to pick some documents
Me: okay
CO: comes back with 2 sheets of paper and hides them under his counter.
CO: I will ask you one last thing
Me: okay
CO: This gentleman you’ve added here; (he points to a sheet of paper we submitted to update our hosts address) do you know him personally, have you met him before?
Me: Yes, he’s a very close friend, I opened the album to show him pictures with our host, but he stops me. (I guess he realized he had spent so much time with us; about 30 mins)
CO: oh don’t bother.
CO: Throughout this whole process, has he or anybody else asked you to pay money for anything ?
Me: No, not at all.
CO: Please call your wife to come
Me: I called my wife and she came to stand with me at the window carrying our baby.
CO: I am satisfied. I will give you a visa today. He picks the two sheets of paper he had hidden under the counter and circles an address for us to pick up the visa on one, then started explaining the proxy pick up process and the $165 payment on the other sheet of paper.
We: Thank you very much, God Bless you and God Bless America. We hurriedly packed our things and left before he remembers more questions to ask us.

Guys, na so the thing be o !, the guy ask us questions so tay we tire.
We thank God immensely for granting us Divine favour.
I also wish to use this opportunity to greatly appreciate my lovely wife for the way and manner she answered the barrage of questions that the CO fired at her. (I have been playing the DV lottery every year since 2000 and never won, we got married and just played once, then she won.)

Congratulations

mohamed shire: hi every body in the house, it is now 36 days from the time i have been putted on further administrative process by US embassy in Nairobi, and the yellow form that they have given me says wait 90 days, and i have heard that the waiting time for further administrative processing is 60 days, what do you think is wrong or they wrote 90 days in my form is mistake.
and the other thing i want to ask is CO wrote my name wrongly in that form and wrote my case number as 2012 instead of 2013, so will that have any effect in my case, i just saw that when i went to my home.

please write me soon

As difficult as it might seem, all you have to do is WAIT. Make no efforts to contact the embassy. Doing so would at ur peril. Ur visa will eventually be granted if nothing is amiss in ur records. Better late than never.

At the embassy u'll pay 54,500naira.

agbaawo: Pls dear friends how much is the visa fees in naira?

I spoke with a HR staff of NLNG and he told me that everyone will get a feedback this week.
Did u say some persons have been called?
If you dont mind, flash me on 08152761920 and I'll call u back. Thanks

waletrust: Are you sure of this you are saying. I learnt that other people have been called since last week. How true is this?

Safe trip, bro

daddykelly: on my way to lagos for medicals and police report...hmmm you guy should stay close to your phones and computers in case of questions ooo,happy sunday.

Expect feedback from NLNG next week

Expect feedback from NLNG next week

The Israelites still made it to the promised land without Moses. Dont forget. In the absence of Moses, may God give us a 'Joshua' that will take us to the promised land. Amen

Tolexander: little do Nigerians know that there is power in the word that proceeds from the mouth.
You all call Victor Moses the leading man that will lead the super eagles to the glory affliating his role to that of the biblical Moses that lead the Israelites to the promised land. Do you remember that the Biblical Moses didn't reach the promised land?
Exactly what you have unknowingly professed to Victor Moses.
Victor Moses please be fit!

6m/p.a. would be more believable

patanjaly: Mr rolly ur salary per month is not 6million i think d guy dat told u so misinformed u but the salary n allowances is something to write home about. Shalom

emybaby2: Auschris, my license expired, will the Nursing council answer me? I went to renew the license but they gave me stringent measures. I have to attend a seminar for one week and still pay for this seminar which is N15,000 including payment for the renewal which is N9,000 and then i pay for the transcript. These board are milking us dry yet they cannot fight for us to have a foothold here in Nigeria. By tomorrow, i will go and check. The problem is that they have not even brought out a date for the seminar so that i rush and register, i want to leave.

They can't validate an expired licence. It is also compulsory attend the MCPDP seminar cos it is a condition for licence renewal. However, it is not mandatory that you attend the seminar in Abuja. You can go to a neighbouring state and attend it. They'll accept it. You can also go the DNS(Director of Nursing services) office at Area eleven and find out when and where the next MCPDP workshop will hold in Abuja. Goodluck

Congratulations
