kinzzo112: My spouse and i were selected for this year's DV, and our interview has been schedule for 10dec. we are planing to go for our Medicals soon.
i do not know how much this would cost the two of us. Please any ideal from any one?

Secondly i would plead with fellow winners(especially the married ones) to post their interview experiences, that would be of help to some us that that will be having theirs by dec.

Go to Travel / Dv Lottery 2012 Winners tread lots of interviews are there Read from one to the end....

L'blaque Haven:
When should the applicants of this Dv lottery 2014 expect the result?

1st May 2013 not 1st May 2014

coax: Had my interview yesterday. CO was a true gentleman, and interview was a very short, and smooth one (5 mins max).

what are you going to do in USA.
have you ever been to USA before?
have you ever been arrested?
what's your highest level of education.
when did you finish your highest level of education?

That's it. He congratulated me,and told me what will happen next.

one advise is to make sure all of the translations are 100% accurate. I've seen other applicants were asked to resubmit some of their documents due to inaccurate translation.

Cheers and good luck to all.

Congratulations!

sandraluck12: The first thought of any person relocating to America, is what am i expected to bring along that is IMPORTANT, so as to avoid excess luggage and un-wanted/un-useful items. Now, let me share this few tips with you:

First, get your transcript from your universities for those who are graduates and send it to the world education center for evaluation purposes and storage, so that they can send it to anywhere you want in the world in a jiffy without the stress of asking people back home to do it for you or traveling back home. For the hand-skilled, have your basic materials/tools with you.
It is advisable to go back to school after a year or two of settling down so as to help in getting a better job than doing survival jobs all the time. Ensure it has got to the world education center before you leave your country because some hiccups can happen and you have to repeat the process. It happened to someone i know, she did it 3 times! It was due to negligence and mis-spelt address.



Secondly,clothes. Yes, America is the land of fashion and quality stuffs right? NO! Remember, it is the same China that supply them! Some shops sell quality, some semi-quality, some poor quality. I have visited the three type of shops and i can only afford the semi-quality and flee from the poor-quality though it was cheap. The quality-shops are pricy! As a hustling Nigerian, i don't have that kind of money.

Don't go about giving away all your clothes, thinking you will go on a shopping spree here. Ok! if you have the money though.*shrugs* Keep all your best jeans and shirts, suits and NATIVES! See the capitalization? Yes, have many native attires as you can, but QUALITY, see another capitalization? So that it can last the test of time, and not fade after some washings.Likewise your outing and casual shoes/slippers. The only clothes to buy IMMEDIATELY on arrival,is the winter attires if you come during fall/autumn/winter season. The reason for this,takes me to the third advise.


Thirdly,MONEY! See, another capitalization here? We all know the influence of money huh? It can make or mar any relationship. So be very PRUDENT! another emphasis. Don't come as as tourist since you know you have come to STAY! Save your money. Whatever amount you bring along, quickly open a bank account and save 3/4 of that amount and check 1/4 into your debit card for spending. Avoid using your credit cards instantly until you get a job because you will have to take from your savings to pay for it, thus defeating the objective of saving in the first place! Yes, it will help in your credit rating,that you will need when to rent an accommodation, but it is not wise at that moment.

You should stay with a host for few weeks to get your bearing, and depending on your relationship, and how fast you are able to get a job, then get an apartment. Your host can assist you if he/she has a good credit rating or appeal to someone who trust them to help you. That is when you will need your savings to buy the basic things in the apartment and feed.Contribute to the house keeping of your host with common sense, buy groceries that are needed and don't be a glutton, though food is affordable, and plentiful, it does not mean you can go on a eating spree. Immigrants are very concerned about every dime they spend!

A guy shared an apartment with other guys hustling like him. He realized he was the one spending more in the home simply because he just arrived from Nigeria. The other guys always complained of no money for the fact that they had been staying in America for many years. He was yet to get a job and his money was dwindling down. Do you know what he did? He sent the money back home to his account and kept a little,and was managing that until he got a survival job. The money came handy when it was time for him to move into his own apartment. If not he would have squandered every dime and be at the mercy of his host, and here in America, everybody bears his father's name!


The MOST important advise of all is that, DO NOT OVER STAY YOUR WELCOME IN YOUR HOST HOME! It will cause strife!

Nice one

Yusmash00: I'm sorry to hear about your visa denial. You re a great man for still sharing the story on here. A better choice is coming your way soon. Thanks for the information. This is really going to help us on this forum. I read informations on the links and to my understand, During the application processing the SAO make the 50% decision of giving or visa denial and the consular will make the remain decision. If the SAO already deny your application you re still going to be interview even if you produce all the neccessary document, Its still gonna be visa denial but If the SAO already check your application and you re good to go then the consulate check your document its okay, you will be grant a visa. So we selectees should keep praying hard. Please include the SAO in your prayer. We need more interview experience even if its visa denial, share it.. Everything always happen for a reasons.

He was not denied, still under process. Read his post well oo

Ibracadabra: If you submitted very early (in may/early june), chances are that you'll get interviewed in January... One question before I move on; Isn't it possible to process your passport in Nigeria? I'm positive that if you came home to renew your passport, it wouldn't take 3 months.

Now, another red flag I'd warn against (stand to b corrected by the house) is that since you haven't gotten your 2nd NL yet, you shouldn't write to the embassy to postpone your interview. Even if you have to reschedule, get your 2nd NL first... And since your wife is expecting in March, I believe God is purposely giving you a January interview date.

But I have to point out that you are working on "many variables"... Your wife may being due for march doesn't mean she can't put to bed earlier. Your interview which you feel comes up in January isn't guaranteed yet (until you get your 2ND NL, all predictions have margins of error) and besides, we don't know airlines' policies on 9month pregnant ladies...

In summary, I advice u renew your passport in Nigeria (for speed of processing, and besides your wife would need your presence)... And please don't write to push your interview forward when you haven't gotten an interview letter yet... And finally, pray about it and let God figure this out for you (instead of trying to figure it out yourself)... You have crossed d greatest hurdle- which is getting selected in d first place... Good luck pal

U have spoken well

Tiwanna: go to ur web browser if you are using internet explorer, click on tools, internet option, advance, scroll down and tick all those tll and ssl stuff and click apply and ok. if this doesn't work, you can do ur application on any cafe.

Kemzone2003: Preparing for the Interview

Applicants in DV interviews are required to demonstrate that they had met the educational or employment qualifications for the DV program when they applied for the DV. Bringing original transcripts and mark sheets from your university or high school (SSCE WAEC/NECO,NABTEB ETC) education will help to demonstrate educational history. Providing detailed information about employment and job responsibilities will help to demonstrate work experience. Note that very few people qualify for the DV based on their work experience. A consular officer will determine if an individual applicant's employment meets the requirements for the DV program.

Below is a checklist of documents to bring to your interview. Please assemble them in the following order and bring original documents:

1.For Principal Applicant (DV Winner):

•Appointment Letter
•Two photographs (2” X 2”)
•Passport
•Birth Certificate
•Divorce Decree (If Applicable)
•Marriage Certificate
•Police Certificate
•Academic Certificates for all degrees
•Photocopies of all the above documents
•Postal Address in the U.S

2.For DV Winner's Spouse (Husband/Wife):

•Two photographs (2” X 2”)
•Passport
•Birth Certificate
•Divorce Decree (If Applicable)
•Police Certificate
•Photocopies of all the above documents

3.For Children(Less than 21yrs Old):

•Two photographs (2” X 2”)
•Passport
•Birth Certificate
•Police Certificate (If child is above 16 years)
•Photocopies of all the above documents
Note: All civil documents issued in the local language must be accompanied by an official translation in English.

I like dis thanks

Harjibode: Some1 Should Help With This Image Dunno How To Reduce,
Thanks In Anticipation To My Request.

Abeg no use am oo the background is not good

nery4u: Here i am o! It didn't works out o. The CO said that they dnt have enough time to process my case nd said i have another chance to play in the DV 2014 if i still want to obtain dv visa and gave me the website. He returned all my original documents to me all in the name of time shortage. Besides no denial sheet that will state the reason of my denied were issued to me. Well my conclusion is ''God is still Faithful''. I Wish all dv 2013 winners favour of God in their interview ijn.

Dont worry God will do it for u again in Jesus name Amen.

Don Kool: Had my interview today.
It was super smooth.
they only asked where i was working and for how long.
I was expecting smooth sailing 'cos i met the stipulated conditions (work and /or education) and all my documents were legit and in order so no shaking..
But after the interview, i realized that i had it better than i imagined and knew that it was God's hand at work.
What more can i say, Baba God Noni!!
All the best to the rest of us.
My advice is to get all necessary documentation in place and let HIM do the rest.

Congrat soo happy 4u

drumma: OK OK OK I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THE BROSWER ISH.... THE THING IS AT THE POINT WHEN YOU DOWNLOADED YOUR MOZILLA, CHROME, OR ANY BROWSER THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR SYSTEM, THERE'S ALWAYS A POINT OF TRANSFERRING THE PRIMARY SETTINGS FROM YOUR INTERNET EXPLORER (whatever version is present on your pc at the time of downloading the new browser) TO THE NEW DOWNLOADED BROWSER SO IT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANCE IN YOUR APPLICATION..... WHEN THEY SAY USE PRIMITIVELY EXPLORER 8.0 TRY AND SHED IT DOWN IN BASIC ENGLISH LANGUAGE WHICH MEANS YOUR FIREFOX MOZILLA OR WHATEVER BROWSER YOU CURRENTLY YOU POSSESS THE PRIMARY INTERNET EXPLORER SETTINGS COUPLED WITH THEIR OWN CUSTOM BUILT SETTING WHICH GOT YOU INTERESTED IN DOWNLOADING THE MOZILLA IN THE FIRST PLACE.... DAMN I HOPE I'VE TRIED!

Thanks

leganssourcing: I need your help house. my wife won the 2013 dv lottery and i want to include my child also as a beneficiary she is not the mother of my child. we got married after she won. Please i want to know if this will not lead to we being denied visa. your advise and reponse will be apprciated. house please help

Hmmm! "You Both got married after she won". this alone will attract more questioning on the day of the interview not to talk more of adding a child that is not from her. Not that is not allowed, it is very much allowed ones you knw u will back it up with authentic proof, if not you will be facing a limited chance to be issued visa.
