i love this tip from gentiger,it is really an eye opener for all waiting for interview and 2nl...

Gentiger: Let me begin by thanking you all. You're all truly wonderful and dearly loved. I appreciate Spoondar, Kemzone, Temmy, Adesoji, Brightmon, Ifeanyi.Abdul, Jidedon, Adzovia, Tiwana, Bussyme, Gunners4u, Junkerhill, Honeydee, Remmy, ChirpyWest, Ibracadabra, and everyone not expressly mentioned. I wish I could remember all your beautiful names. Thank you all for the prayers and inspiration. God bless you all.

I left the house by 4:45am and arrived 5:20am. We observed all the necessary protocols and the checks and got ushered in. I purposely sat in such a away as to have a clear view of the white lady everyone dreads. I needed to inderstand her methods, temperament and ideology should in case I am sent to her.

She denied virtualy everyone who got to her desk. I realized it's not about the woman. It's about the applicants who come ill-prepared. She wants to be sure you TRULY MERIT the visa. Her question are not difficult but tricky and searching. From my interactions with her, I figured she must be a lawyer or someone with legal exposure. She asked me questions, more of a cross examination using legal terms known only to legal minds.

Now this is the secret to dealing with her. Learn forward and look her right in the eyes. That makes her uncomfortable and less composed. It's like turning the table against her. Answer her questions with CONFIDENCE even If you're not so sure of the answers. Maintain eye contact and be polite to a fault. Her approach could make you edgy and could provoke anger in her which always prompts her to deny without mercy. Keep a smiling face and raise your pitch when responding to her query. Use gestures too. All these played out to my favour. Above all, I realized she appreciates good command of English Language. But really, how can you claim to be a graduate and unable to make a sentence that's error-free? Let's polish our vocab.

Me: Good morning lady (with smiles)
Co: Thank you
Me: You're welcome.
Co: Do you swear to tell the truth?
Me: (Still smiling) Absolutely. I do.
Co: Put your fingers on the machine. I want to capture your prints.
Me: Ok maam.....
She takes my prints .....
Co: Thank you
Me: You're welcome.
Co: What's your highest Qualification?
Me: LLB, BL.
Co: Which aspect of law are you specialized in?
Me: Bla bla bla.
Co: Tell me all you know about a valid contract and what makes a contract enforceable?
Me: I lectured her with decided cases and statutory provisions
Co: Tell me the aspect of law you find difficult.
Me: I told her.
To my surprise she began to lecture me on it. I chip in facts from time to time to buttress her points.
Co: Have your original documents
Me: Thank you maam! (With a broad smile)
Co: I am going to issue you a visa.

There were two sheets before her. One was for denial and the other for approval. She pulled the paper, circled an address and asked me to pick my visa on Friday next week. I enjoyed my time with her. I am sure she enjoyed my company. She's such a lovely Angel to chit-chat with.

meen gentttiiiiger am so happy for you,congratz bro.

Leripa: @daddykelly: i hope you are preparing for the next visa bulletin. I strongly believe that it's gonna be our turn.

amen ooo leripa i lost your contact ooo...please can you resend it,thanks.

adzovia: i got the shock of my life when i went to pick the mail today and i saw my name on one of the envelopes. i was expecting my ssn since i was told to wait for 21 days. i opened the envelope low and behold it is my green card. people my permanent residence card came even before my ssn. i am soo happy. the battle is over i am now officially a permanent resident with proof

Imcool: OUR INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE(Window 16): CO- Gd mrn. I & WIFEY- Gd mrn. Finger prints done & wife was ask to sit while i was interviewed. CO QUESTIONS- 1. Whatz ur highest educational qualification? HND IN MECH ENGINEERING. 2. What're ur final year courses? 3. What is thermodymanics? 4. How is thermodynamics related to an automobile engine? 5. Explain ur schedule of duty @ work. 6. What questions where u asked in mathematics during ur WAEC? 7. What is Algebra? 8. What do u know about trigonometry in math? 9. When & where did u meet ur wife? 10. Where was she staying @ dat time? 11. Do u av ur wedding pix here? 12. Who and who are these in ur welding album? 13. Who owns d jeep u used during ur wedding? AT THIS POINT, Wife was called & i was asked to sit. CO asked most of the personal questions asked from me from my wife too and also added this- tell me about ur final year project. I WAS CALLED AT THIS POINT & as she wasn't convinced, she asked us to sit and we were called @ window 8(a door leading to an inner private window when we met another CO) after about 1hr. WIFE WAS ASKED to go out and so many questions to test the authenticity of my marriage were asked- even question lyk wen we first had sex and wen we had sex last were asked too, this lasted for another 30mins and WIFE WAS CALLED IN to be questioned again while i went out, she however missed one question here. WE THEN WENT OUT AGAIN and sat for some minutes wen we were called @ window 16 again and our visas were finally approved. GOT INTO D INTERVIEW HALL AROUND 8AM AND LEFT AROUND 1PM. The secret of our interview was 1. Prayers and divine favour 2. Wen @ window 16, it's advisable to talk in technical jargons cuz by dis, d lady gets tired of asking more questions. 3. Thorough study and revision of ur past educational courses and subject as regards to sec sch. 4. I got to realise dat d CO(S) are not mr or mrs know all, all they're looking out for is how confident and bold u're, i could remember i gave some wrong answers but she couldn't decode cuz i spoke more in technical terms. The window 16 CO denyed like 4ppl while i was there, d black angel wasn't around 2day instead a young white american guy was in window 13 and another white lady was in 15- they were both nice. But as for window 16, she was so tough wit each interview section btw 40mins to 1hr. THANKS TO EVERYONE IN D HOUSE, MY SUCCESS STORY WOULDN'T AV BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT UR CONTRIBUTIONS. I WISH EVERYONE D BEST OF LUCK AND I PRAY FOR MORE SUCCESS STORIES BY GOD'S GRACE, AMEN.

imcool,i don't even know what to say but u are blessed and favoured this is the hottest interview i've read in my life so far....congrat bro...lol i dnt think i can tap into dis ur own testimony oooo...lol.

2nl on my mind.

please house am a little bit confused....the 2nl received so far is it this 12,150 or 11000 range cn numbers that got their 2nl...please for those that received their 2nl please can type ur cn e.g 11***,10***,12***.thanks

adzovia: just follow the procedure with your baby take naming pictures birth certs, etc with you to the interview. what i know is after KCC sends you your second nl they have nothing to do with you anymore. so you go to the interview with your baby

i think this is a very good suggestion.

congratz to u all whose 2nl has landed.

hmmmm 12,150 for naija...dat means my interview will be april ending 13,***.

Ibracadabra: Happy New year guys... I haven't come around cos a lot has been happening so fast. So many interviews, and I just moved to my own appartment. I just remembered I needed to fill an online form immediately I changed residence. Pls can anyone give me the link where I can enter my new address... thanks alot guys and I start work next week so join me in thanking God, cos I can't thank him enough....

PS: the drivers lisence practise website you posted here has been extremely useful and I now feel confident to go for a permit tomorrow or next.

Opoki: @House, how good is it to board passanger ship to the US?

temmytanny: @all,

Please,prepare very well for your interview.I have a feeling the slim white lady has taken charge of dv lottery winners interview.Am not trying to scare you but prepared well,be bold and always look into her eye when answering question for her or anyone that may interview you.All the best

by God's grace....we shall overcome!.

Spoondar: africa up to 25850 nigeria 13500

amen,i pray sooo

waitin for bulletine

ajmiry: Any Idea for the asian region regarding CN for the month of Feb and upcoming month.

check the visa bulletine on their official site.

emybaby2: Hurray, i've been given my visa today, am so happy. I woke up early and arrived the place and we were checked in by 6:30am. Passed through the security check and got in. We did the documentation i.e gave my original and photocopied documents. I forgot to include 2 photocopied marriage certificate rather it was one and they wrote it down in my form that one certificate is out. That was the only error i made though i was nervous. Then we waited again. When it was time for the interview, window 16 who is a white lady was so tough with so much drilling of people with questions. The first couple for DV there were rejected by her. Up to 5 people went and she either refer them for the next day or told them that they have failed. A particular woman with a family of 5 children and her husband were denied their DV visa. What i come to know is that if you can't answer or defend your education and also know dates of birth, time you went to school etc, then there will be problems. The woman in window 13 was so nice and was handing down visas like water only denied one man. Who wasn't a DV applicant.
After praying that i should not pass through the white woman, believing God for window 13 when i was called to window 16(the white woman.)
CO: Goodmorning, put your fingers on this
(After fingerprint, myself and husband, she told my husband to go and sit.)
co: when did you finish secondary school?(i told here and she count the credits in my paper)
co: what was your favourite subject in secondary school
me: English
co: give me details of what you learned in English literature( i explained)
co: you are a registered nurse, give me the details of your nursing practise(i did)
co:if a patient is sick, how do you manage the patient(i explained)
co: let me see your wedding photos(i flipped open the album for her and she saw the pictures of my bridesmaid and stoped to ask who they were)
co: where did you meet your husband
me: in the church
co: which church did you marry(told her)
co: when did you marry(told her)
co: did you go to church last week
me: yes i did
co: i will give you a visa and you will get it next week thursday.
Me: thank you.
That is how i scaled through the woman, looking her straight in the face and God helped me. Pls i like the black woman of window 13, she gave time to people who are nervous to think.
Above all this, all glory belong to my GOD.

congratz dear,a good start for 2013.

Gentiger: Budget N5k but negotiate for less.. They demanded for christmas/New year drinks. I was generous.

k,thanks

happy new year house...hmmm 2013 "MY YEAR OF COLLECTING MY VISA AND LEAVING NAIJA GBAM"!.

we are coming soon

[quote author=ifeanyi.abdul]Women have this sense of intuition and I respect them a lot: I just got this advise from my wife for MR. OPOKI!
From her heart she has offered this advice as the best: It's better you include your wife and children in your forms as your dependents and beneficiaries and return the form back to KCC! She frankly told me that the CO's are human beings and not spirits. If they see your sincerity and see evidence of marriage certificate, wedding pictures, albums, etc. they may issue you all visas. In every rule, there may be exceptions. In this case, 2 things counts: Honesty and of Course, Favour from God almighty. She said you got nothing to loose, except that in the worst case scenario, you loose the following:
1. 3,000 dollars
2. You are denied visa

You gain the following if you are denied visa
1) You gain your wife and children
2) Since it is DV lottery, every year, the enteries of previous years are cancelled and fresh lotteries are drawn: so therefore you have another opportunity to play DV 2015 and beyond and God Can Make His Face Shine On You Anyday, Anytime. That's why he is God!!

I stand to be corrected, you will not be disqualified from ever playing the lottery, if at all you are disqualified.
Sir, from my heart, I think you should go for the interview with all your dependents after submitting your forms to kcc and God will favour you![/quote]nice one there

puplin: I hope you all aren't ignoring my last post about the extra fee of $165 you have to pay after visa approval. It takes effect from february o...so, if you've scaled through before then..lucky you.

yea we have seen it...when the visa is in our hand,i think we wn't mind paying more...lol

waiting is killing.

nice
