pls dont come here and ask that silly question, why you guys cant do without thinking of "wayo"? You see why they ask us silly questions at the embassy? While winners from other country just walk in to collect ther visa. You think this forum is your private text msg? The world, i mean the whole world just read your silly question and tell me now, what they will be thinking abt us? Pls keep ur thought to your self. "Alakoba"

TravelRe: Dv Lottery 2012 Winner Meet Here by brightmon: 10:14pm On Sep 03, 2012
jack_syno: House I feel i share this with us. Read it somewhere. HERE it goes...

Now, i arrived at the embassy a little past 6am and it was not my turn to be interviewed until a few minutes to 11am. so i sat and watched them interview other people for like 4 hours!!!! here are some tips i gleaned from watching and listening:

1. Speak confidently. Look them in the eye and smile as appropriate

2. No matter how hot tempered you are never ever ever ever argue with the CO. I overheard one lady snap at the same man that interviewed me. He asked her a question and she snapped and said something like "i'm not done talking". he also interrupted me maybe once or twice when i was talking to him but it didnt annoy me. it just felt like a normal conversation. In any case, that lady was denied

3. While waiting, pray that you get a CO that's in a good mood. Ask God to send you to the CO with who you will find favor.

4.Don't worry if you have a weak NECO/WAEC result. As long as you meet the minimum requirement stated on the "notice to applicants from Nigeria" you will be fine. just be confident. besides, a weak result is easier to defend than straight A1s. Personally, i was happy that my NECO result wasnt fantastic because i figured that if they ask me any secondary school question that i dont remember, i'll just tell them that they can see that i flunked NECO. LoL One lady came with her husband and son and the CO asked her husband to go and sit while she was being interviewed. Her results were only three months old but when she couldnt answer the questions asked, the CO said "tell me what types of questions you encountered on the biology exam"--she kept saying "cells" so she was asked about her physics exam and she still couldnt say what types of questions she encountered on that exam. She was denied

5.if you are married take LOTS of pictures of you and your spouse together. Pictures of your spouse with your family as well as pictures of you with your spouse's family are also helpful. If the pictures are in an album, it looks more credible. I mean, if you say you've been married for 5 years and the album looks a little worn out from age, it's hard to discredit such a relationship

6.If for some reason, your spouse is abroad, make sure you take along records of text messages and emails exchanged

7.If you are asked a question and you miss it, or you don't know the answer, don't panic. One young man told the Chinese CO at window 12 that the word “is” is an adjective and he still got approved for the visa. So don't ever panic. Just keep your cool, maintain a positive attitude and you will find favor

8.If for some reason, you open your xray before reaching to embassy, don't worry yourself. They kuku told us to open the thing from outside...i just have to add this tip because the nurse at kamorass was almost screaming “don't open it oh” when I asked her about the documents inside the xray envelope...hahaha

9.If you cram answers, be careful to listen to what you are being asked. One lady really annoyed the CO because she kept answering questions she wasn't asked. If you choose to cram things to say, practice enough times that it sounds natural. The CO kept telling her to stop saying things that she had crammed but she continued doing it. She was denied. Another lady kept giving short incomplete answers—even though this lady got her visa, the CO was getting impatient with her and she was almost in tears by the end of the interview. Even the CO had to ask if she was okay

10.remember that tag I said they gave me after i submitted my appointment letter? The one that has a number on it? Guard it like a gem! One man lost his, and they spent like 10 minutes looking for it because it must be returned to the CO before the interview can take place. Trust me, you don't want this type of pressure just before the interview.

11.If you are going for a visiting visa, you are supposed to act as if you absolutely love Nigeria and would never want to relocate to America. Please don't try to give them this impression during your DV interview. One man was denied, and in an attempt to change the CO's mind, he told the CO that his intention was to get residency and then come back to Nigeria. That he is the Chairman somewhere etc etc. that basically sealed the deal. The CO told him that the visa is not intended for people that intend to get residency and then come back to Nigeria—so please, even if this is your plan, do not tell the CO about it.


Finally, I feel that God helped me to realize something about two days to my interview. The visa is already yours—you won it in the lottery. The ONLY reasons for the interview are for you to prove your identity (which is accomplished via the documents you take along). The other point of the interview is to prove that you are educated—so even if you don't know the answer to a question, just say something that sounds smart.

Go and succeed.
Cheers,
Freedom007

Tiwanna: Who is d most foolish among dis
3 men?

A Hausa man who
watered his farm garden in d rain.

An Igbo man who saw ripe
mango & climb d tree to confirm
then come down and used stone 2 pluck it, and

a Yoruba man saw
something dat looked like shit, he
touch with his finger & tested it
and said "mmmh" Na shit Ooo
thank God I no match am!lolz,Good morning peeps
lol, the most foolish is the man that tested what culd have killed him.
In second place is the man that put him life as risk just to confirm if its ripe.
And in 3rd place is the one that watered his gardan after the rain. He is simply use to always doing that, if it rains or not.

PoliticsRe: NUPENG To PDP: You Are Nigeria’s Greatest Problem by brightmon: 2:14pm On Aug 30, 2012
Dollarman101: NUPENG should face the issues. The issue is who is trying to sabotage the present efforts by TEAM GEJ to sanitize the oil sector?
Before our very eyes, NUPENG went on strike insisting that those who were indicted for subsidy loot should be paiid. Isnt that sabotage?
Coming at a time when govt is yielding to public clamour for probe of the oil sector, the strike was, to say the least,wicked.

I read so many reports that indicated that NUPENG was heavily sponsored by the cabal to do what they did. And I believe it otherwise why should NUPENG go on strike to protest the non payment of outstanding subsidy claims even in the face of AIG's report indicting the said companies for 400 billion.
Who is (are) this Cabal ?. names pls or is the Cabal not PDP? Abegyyyyyyy

Sorry abt that but i wuld had advice u then to carry her to the embassy like that, them they will know she realy have a passion and value her winning.
I know of a lady that went for her DV interviwe, she gave birth around 3am and was at the embassy b4 7am, she dint spend as much time as other did, even the CO just look at her and ask her a few question and gave her the visa and back to the hospital.
