The making of our America Project:
It all started on October 23, 2012 when the four of us in the family as of then, entered for the lottery.
I checked mine on May 1, 2013 and was not selected, and then on May 4th, I checked my lovely First Lady’s status and discovered we have been selected for further processing.
At this point, we had no idea of the processes; hence, I started searching Google for resources and later found NAIRALAND 2013 & 2014 threads, which signified the new era.
Twice in that Month of May, I mailed KCC, requesting for additional information and medium of submission of our documents, they replied that both hard and soft copy are acceptable (detail posted sometime ago in one of my responses)
On July 4, 2013, we finally sent our forms via e-mail to kccdv@state.gov (note that we updated twice after this). We were current in November’s bulletin for interview on December 23, 2013 for 7am.
We received our 2nd NL, on October 18, a day after birth of our new baby-Princess. We notified the embassy and invited them for naming, to my greatest surprise, replies received in both my mail and VO’s thread were word for words, then the waiting game continues as I always pray for easiest interview which came to pass on the 23rd.

Documentations:
I practiced what I always advice on the thread, we secured all documents before October, except for the new baby that was done in that month. Medicals and Police Certificate (#2500) were done on December 12th, which enable us to relax a bit.

The ‘D’ Day.
We lodged in a 20minutes drive location close to the embassy, got to the embassy around 5:40am.
Did all necessary security check as you are all aware of, paid the total sum of #272,500.00 being processing fee.
Window 17 called for documentations, to my surprise, the woman seeing us for the first time just asked a familiar question which Looks like those people are spy on NL (can’t ascertain though,so don’t quote me)
Then around 9am, the white Lady called us at window 14 for the real thing
CO: Good morning ma’am
We: Good morning and how was your night?
Co: very ….., thank you
We: Merry Xmas and she responded as well
Then Finger prints for both of us.
CO: raise your right hand and …………(swearing)
We: we do
After this, I lifted my first son (whose name is of one of America president’s name, to say Good morning to her) she called his name, and the laughing began, then the second son did the same and I was joking with her that, the new baby want to say Hi too, then laugh again.
CO: turned to my wife and asked, what’s your highest qualification?
My first Lady: AAAAAAA
CO: when did u finished
My first Lady: AAAAAAA
CO: She’s typing and was explaining that she think my wifey does not performed to her best in her first result, that’s why she submitted the second one
My first Lady: Yes
Me: I said ‘As if you know’ and she laughs again.
While I was trying to carry my children, who are playing around, she said your VISA is approved smiling and the rest of pick up infos. & we say thank you and God bless America
That’s it oooooooooooooooooooo

Till now, we are still thanking GOD



wot a mighty GOD!]

members pls, contribute

lagbabe: i totally agree with opening a group forum on any other social media,it makes sense.Since the rules here doesn't permit us to exchange personal contacts.for instance,buklan4real is on my whatsapp contact nd we talk very well could even call her if I need to.shout out to u @buklan4real.

tanx sis.

lagbabe: i gbadun dis your comment o!husbands that their wives are responsible for bringing this uncommon Favour should forever be dotted on and pampered for they have brot to the family a lifetime opportunity on a platter of gold.Speaking on behalf of all wives selected,can I get a Holla!!!

Yes oooooo. check 2013 dv forum too, it was women dat won for dre family......
#womenrocks#

Darhmee: Hi guys.. so here was how it started.. I did the visa lottery for myself as the principal and my mom as the principal back then. So when my mom won, the only the only thing i have was the confirmation number.. i wasnt sure if i registered my dad and my siblings with her but with faith, we continued the processing. My dad didn't want to go with us because he has businesses he is running here in NIgeria and also, my older brother is over-aged. So, i and my mom decided to do the processing for just the both of us.
However, because of the rareness of our case, people said we will be turned down, they said we will be rejected bla bla but i and mom paid them no listening ears.. That really helped!

So today, our interview was for 7am, we got there 5:45am, and at about 6:15, we were told to line up, we did security checks, people's powder, phones, sharp objects, liquid, charger, containers were disposed..(please do not bring any of these with u to the embassy, its an lot of trouble finding how to dispose them).

So at about 8am, we were inside the hall, my mom paid for the both of us and when it was time for submission of document, the woman in charge told my mom to go out and take another passport photograph because the one she has with her was with a blue background. So my mom went out and the cheapest rate she could find for 6 passport photograph was N2000!! Can u imagine?!.

So she brought the passport and while we were submitting our document, the woman asked why my dad wasnt included in the first submission and my mom said it was because he wasn't interested, the woman shook her head! Right there, i had thought we would be rejected.

So at about 10:15, our number beeped on window 17.. the CO was a beautiful and young black American
She told us to swear, took our fingerprints and then the conversation below ensued
CO: what is ur name ma'am
My Mom: xxxx
CO: Did u fill the lottery form urself
MM: Yes
CO: So why is ur sister here with you:
MM: She is not my sister, she is my daughter ((we both laughed)
CO: OMG.. Im so sorry.. Wow madam.. u look so young and she is gorgeous
MM and I: Thank you, u look beautiful too
CO:. Who is philip and why is he not going with u
MM.. he is my husband and bla bla
CO: what is your highest level of education
MM.. bla bla
So she excused herself for a minute, came back, typed some things into the computer, gave us 2 sheets of paper.. (i was already jumping by then lol). She then said, your visa has been approved, pick up this this this that.. i wasnt listening anymore

So guys im not gonna lie to you, i and my mom prayed and fasted for days before attending that interview.. we even went to a 7 nights vigil that ended last SUnday.. If not for prayers and God's favour, we wopuld have been denied. Please lets prepare ourselves and pray to the God/gods we believe in.

I thank every member of this page.. i dont want to mention names cos i appreciate you ALL.. God bless and i wish the people who are yet to go for their interview SUCCESS SUCESS SUCESS..

Cheers!

PS: Malcom 28 and ayodim.. big congrats to your family.. we were at the embassy the same time, can you describe yourselves? i was the lady with the cream blazer and my mom is the one with the african fabric jacket

He never sleeps nor slumber..... conratulations to u nd ur mum.

Dahme's Visa too has been approved.

Malcolm28: Hi Forumites, I just came out of the embassy. My family's visa has been approved. Thanks everyone for the show of support. I will give a detailed account of my experience later. Gracias!!!

Thank you Jesus!

Morning house, hapi nw mnth to u all......

akintunde95: @CANDYTOS thanks 4 ur response..... I ve confirmation number, and case number ....its remain the E-mail he used when dey register.. Naw i want to send the forms DS 122 and dSP 230 what can i do....

fill it with ur real e-mail addy. dats wot dey will use to get bk to u for ur 2nl

brownsugar007: thanks all i really appreciate,i knew i was wrong when i snatched the phone and the pastor even told me to apologize on my knees which i did before he returned the cloth,i know the girl is desperate and is ready to do any tin to get him back(even my pastor said God revealed it to him)and i had kept quiet all along what really got me mad was that he was was cutting the calls and insisting that he was trying to answer,as if was a FOOL.
he dint have to go to the extend of calling me a worn out hag who he wanted to help by getting married to,a prostitute and a intimacy gadget,he would not have said my mother is a stupid woman.i was childish but i don't deserve those insults
i braced up and told my parents every tin last night,my dad was so disappointed but he said we cannot force him to marry me,if he comes back fine but if he doesn't he would still love me as a daughter.
today is my birthday and he sent me a message that a true friend friend remembers your birthday but not your age and trespasses.am just 31

NO NO NO NO. those words are harsh. gosh! pls, just calm ursef down.. nothing is too hard for God to do..
menh! nawaoo... heavy words . feel for u do..

just go back to ur creator, the begining nd end.. am sure he is d best to say YES! to ur needs.

Cheer up dear

lagbabe: so babe,u actually paid the guy?wow,pple are callous o!

yea, i paid him sum money off.... cos, two tins are involed, either i agree with him to merge me with unknown person nd d person pay him huge amount of money, or i pay him off mysef to process it on my own.

he is with all d details nd informations about me which i dnt knw..

tanx to 2013 thread dat helped me out. if not for dem i wld av fall into d man's trap cos dats d way dey dose merging principal applicant with one of dere customers irrespective of d genda dat won. believing dat they played for as married truly.

thuyahky: which email address d you use when filling the dsp form?is it the agent email address or your own email.

i used mine.. since dey'v handed over to us.

Firewami: Thanks for the clarification.

Wc bro.. dats wot we r here for, sum ppl helped me too on dis forum.

Firewami: @buklan4real@yah.
Thanks alot for ur contribution ma, i wish you can put me thru on some of this question such as
Principal applicant name ( is it the new family new name i.e my surname since we got married after the entry or her maiden name with which the lottery was played for her?) Which one should be the on form ds 230 and 122?
Do we need change of name publication?
Pls this is open to everybody in d house.

Yea, i used my hubby's name in filling d formz... as my surname
nd put d name i played with i.e my father's name as my maiden name..
nd i enclose with a written letter for change os status.

i av not done any publication yet.

so wife should fill with ur family name, nd put her surname as maiden name.

just attach a copy of a letter or photocopy of ur marriage cert wen submitting, so they will b aware of her status.
