YessWeeCan: Glooooorrrrrrrrry be to God visa approved. details soon.

Congrats!

Freshie: Hi, pls I would like for you to read as carefully as you can. I am not an authority so I can't claim to have all the answers but I will tell you my personal experience. Personal, as in me and my wife, not that I heard the story from someone.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THAT THEY LOVE HONESTY.

I feel excited about having to share this cos it ended well. I filled in for the 2013 entry like everyone else in 2011. I no even get girlfriend then. Results came in October 2012, I had a girlfriend I was hoping to marry (I had known her as a friend since 2008). I already sent the forms back to them as single last November before I proposed to her this January.

We got married in April and I immediately started worrying about what would happen to our new marriage if I had to travel without her and our expecting baby, I could not imagine it. I used to have nightmares! Of course I got a lot of different advice from people: I was told that if you filled as single and show up as married, they could get suspicious and deny you the visa. I let fear creep in and I did nothing about it. (If I knew better I would have contacted them telling them my status had changed and sent them supplementary forms for my wife). Everyone said I should go as single (there is a BIG problem here when you want to file later and they discover your marriage certificate then says you were already married at the time of your interview and you failed to mention it).

I did medicals, police report and birth certificate alone and went for the interview on August 14. Some said I should take off my ring but I said I would not deny who I am so I kept it on. Remember that I was also praying that something would happen that would permit me and my wife to travel together, I didn't know how it would happen but I kept hoping. I also took my marriage certificate just in case they saw my ring and asked for proof I would show them so they would not deny me my visa. When I got into the interview room, the lady that checked my documents saw my ring and asked if I was married. I said "I am now".
Officer: Ok, where is your wife?
Me: She's at home
Officer: Isn't she travelling with you?
Me: I would love that very much but I filled the form as single so I don't know how that could happen
Officer: You could travel with your wife, we don't say that because you won the lottery that you shouldn't get married or move on with your life
Me:
Officer: Where's your marriage cert?
I gave it to her and she said "Hold on let me make a copy of it". When she returned,
Officer: I can't get that smile off your face right? I'm sure you can't wait to tell her
Me: I sure can't!
Officer: Here are the forms you submitted last year, I need you to edit these categories to include your wife's name, date of birth, place of birth and date of marriage. Here, use this pen.. (I felt I was dreaming!)
Officer: You just get successfully interviewed by the CO first
Me: Thank you!
(She even told another colleague of hers and both of them were looking at me and smiling).

My interview with the CO was interesting. The guy drilled me like no other, and he made me feel very stupid with the look on his face when he asked why my wife wasn't here and I said I was told it would complicate matters.
CO: I can't believe I'm hearing this. Who told you that? We expect that you should notify us in the event your status changes. This interview surely can't be concluded until we interview your wife! You will need to come with her and with proof of relationship(photos).
CO: What do you do?... Where do you work?... Tell me some websites you have done (since I said I was a web designer)...
CO: Your name isn't at the bottom of the website, how do I know you did it?...
CO: When can you come back with your wife for another interview?...

When I got back home, a lot of my folks were skeptical that the opportunity had been lost. One even said, "When they see your wife's tummy now, anyway let's see"
We used last weekend to quickly go do police report and medicals. We also printed almost 40 pictures of the proposal day, the trad, the registry wedding, pictures from last year when we were still dating.
On the day of our rescheduled interview August 22, we even forgot my wife's visa fee of $330 at home!

At the end of the day, we were granted our visas, and even advised not to travel immediately cos my wife is heavily pregnant. Another CO joined the one interviewing us and told us that we should have the baby here, then send an email and they will immediately invite us to come with the baby's birth certificate and passport picture so we could be issued a letter to permit us travel with our baby. Last week was awesome for me because yesterday, August 24 was my birthday! God truly showed himself.

So here's my advice to you:

Say the truth, let the woman swear an affidavit at the Ikoyi High Court that her age was incorrectly entered by the person who submitted the entry (you see, they don't expect you to have done everything yourself), let them get married and keep enough pictures of the ceremony. They should also get pictures from before they got married to show that some relationship existed before marriage. Then get all the required documents ready. Lastly and most importantly, pray believing that you're talking to a living God, don't pray with fear.

The bad thing about lying now is that you will have to remain on your guard for the rest of your stay there. The day they discover you lied, you will be in trouble. Another first hand experience I saw same day August 22 was a woman shaking with tears of joy after she was granted a non-immigrant visa. She lied about something in the year 1982! Yes, that long ago! The CO just asked her a question and she came out clean. CO told her "if your answer was not this, we would be having a very different conversation right now so I say congratulations, your visa will be ready at this address..." Apparently she had been banned for many years from entering the US.

So my brother, that's my advice to you. I hope you take it. All the best to your sister and husband!


Sorry for the extremely long post!

Congrats!

Freshie: My wife and I got our visas approved today! God be praised!!!!!

She is due to give birth in about 3 weeks, so we were advised not to travel yet. They said that when she gives birth we should come with baby's birth certificate and passport pictures and we'll be issued a letter permitting us to include the baby in our trip.

God is soo awesome, he made it possible!

I wish everyone else yet to go for their interview God's favour!

mike udoka: Hello my people. Although I have never been given any response on my earlier post when I needed urgent advice, I can't deny the fact that I have benefited from different posts on this thread. So I believe you will grant me this permission to share my interview experience.

I got to the Embassy by 6:30 and joined the cue for 7:30 appointment.
After all the hassles I was in the interview Hall waiting for my turn. I saw people leaving with smiles on their faces. Then some purported couples were denied in an embarrassing manner. That was when sleep of fear caught me.
I woke up to the call of my tally number and leaped to the Window. I saw a black lady and I thought I was only called to verify my documents. Little did I know that was the CO sent from heaven.

CO: Good morning
ME: Morning
CO: Sign this document
ME: Ok. Then fingerprint
CO: Swear to tell the truth
ME: yeah
CO: So what do you do
ME: Just finished NYSC so am just into some hustling
CO: Ok. Where did you serve
ME: ......
CO: what did you do
ME: ......
CO: Cool. Why did you choose your undergraduate discipline
ME: because its a nice course
CO: *smiles* really?
ME: *smiles* yeah I can work as. ..........
CO: Cool.
ME: Thanks
CO: Have you ever played this lottery before
ME: Nope. My first time
CO: Wow! And you are so lucky. Congratulations. Your visa has been approved
ME: Just like dat?
CO: *laughing* exactly. You will get your visa at this address. ......
ME: Thanks and have a lovely day.

Na so I waka o. It didn't even take up to 3 mins. I left without any visible expression on my face but I couldn't control it and I started singing "YAWEH YAWEH! YOU are glorious so glorious in your way"
I spread some love to some people I met outside that congratulated me and walked under the rain singing with my heart filled with joy.

This is nothing but the Lords doing.
I succeeded in playing this lottery at 10:56, only 4 mins remaining on the last day. I forgot about it until March 2013 when I was looking for a draft email then I saw my confirmation page which I saved there. I checked and found out I was selected.
It took me till April 11th before I could send my forms to kcc. I even had to print out the forms and fill them with biro as I couldn't fill them electronically. I was discouraged that is too late by a someone that when via dis same opportunity but I persisted.
Exactly one month I was given an interview letter for 5th July. By the ending of June I wasn't prepared at all then miraculously I got a call from a lady that my dv lottery interview date has been rescheduled for the 29th of July. *NobeGod*

Pardon my long sermon. I just had to testify that there's a God that answers even the prayers of a sinner like me. That same God will grant you success in your endeavours in Jesus name. Amen.

Looking forward to life in another mans land and all I can say is GOD'S WILL MUST BE DONE

Congrats bro! HE is faithful!
