Day 1:
8am-at the medical centre Naples I did all the required stuff and vaccination (2 vaccines)
2pm- at the General consulate for digital fingerprints.Went through security checks and then we were ushered in.Getting inside,I took my sit and waited for my number to be called and after 10 minutes "number 5, numero 5" I heard, immediately I stood up and walked to the window. "Passport and interview letter please" she asked ; quickly I submitted them.She looked at the passport and the computer and she talked to her colleague then she turned to me saying "I'm sorry we technically can't take your fingerprints today because we don't have authorization yet from the U.S, tomorrow please come 7:30am and we will do it before your interview."
Day 2: 6:45am I arrived at the General consulate looking at the Mediterranean sea with U.S. soldiers outside patrolling around the consulate looking for the next bin laden; we went through same security protocols and finally in the hall again with 16 persons and I was the only African and the only dv winner so I was the first to be approved in Italy this fiscal year.
I took my sit and waited for my number to be called and it got to my turn I submitted the documents and she asked if I had any document from my university fortunately I was with my student handbook for credits exams and grades registration.She took it and then we did the fingerprints and she gave me an envelope(containing medical results and x-ray in a disc ) coming from the medical centre saying " give this to the officer when you get to the U.S. " .I went further with the payment of the visa fee which was 264 EUR and then I took my sit again.The interview started and it seems pregnant women and families with babies were called first.
finally it got to my turn and I stood up approaching the window I thought I saw Peter crouch because they look similar.I did fingerprints again and then the oath.

Obatide: Good day fellow forumites, it's been a while since I post last. I really miss u guys.
Let me start by congratulating ernestleon ahead of his interview, because the visa is yours IJN
On the prayer schedule, let's devote those days and believe that God will perfect what HE hath started, apart from olamoyegun, who will anchor the programme, if God lay anything in your mind, you are welcome too especially our Muslim brethren.
On the issue of Visa bulletin asked buy some members, why can't you take a little time to check their site for archive bulletin @ www.travel.state.gov ? This will clear ur doubt about being current and likely period.

For those who are current in October, could you share your experience on both MEDICAL & POLICE CERTIFICATE? Including the cost.
We will all achieve success in IJN
Thank you very much.

When in Sec. Sch a friend made a wager (N100) if I could touch one of our female teachers' A,ss.I did it without been punished.
TravelRe: DV 2014 Winners Meet Here by ernestleon(m): 11:24am On Sep 21, 2013
Daudsmart: Thanks for your response bro. Actually, it was sombody that applied for me. In ds-230 part I and II, I used the initials in item 1 and 37 respectively, and wrote them in full where they wrote full name in native alphabet. But in dsp form, I wrote them in full. Pls I need for comments and advice. Thanks.
My advice for you is to call KCC on 606-526-7500 (7:30am until 4:00pm EST).If have an andriod smartphone use Magicjack to call them so you don't spend money.Make sure you have your details handy when calling.
TravelRe: DV 2014 Winners Meet Here by ernestleon(m): 9:54am On Sep 21, 2013
Daudsmart: God bless you brother! You are wonderful I'm very grateful. I have checked it as u said. The only mistake I spotted is that they used initials for both my first name and other name for the entry in last year october only the surname in full; as in: U-first name and A-other name. But I wrote them in full in the body of the mail I sent to kcc for the request. Can that b the reason? Thanks.
Yeah it could be.But why did you use initials when applying last year? Did you use initials too when filling the dsp form and the ds-230?
TravelRe: DV 2014 Winners Meet Here by ernestleon(m): 11:06pm On Sep 20, 2013
Daudsmart: Pls help! I sent my form via mail on sept.1 and they replied it has been received on sept.13 that it would be review. I latter mailed them to know the status of my case, their reply was "the information you have provided does not match the case. Pls resubmit your request with the correct information for kcc to properly assist you" pls what does these mean good people? Pls very urgent
You probably gave them an incorrect case number or incorrect date of birth (follow the format mm-dd-yyy) or incorrect full name.Check the email you sent to them an see if there was any anything missing

justwise: You are the one lying here, he did not make his statement for the future, he said: under current rules that Nigeria is eligible.
OOOOO My Mr Just wise, once upon a time I used have huge respect for you, I used read any thread created by Justwise.Where is your wisdom? Please read the underlined will be.In English Language it's called future tense.WILL BE means certainty.Now let's assume the statement was for the present, do you mean that they will say Ok Nigeria you have reached the limit in September 13 so if you have interview with us please don't come.

TravelRe: DV 2014 Winners Meet Here by ernestleon(m): 11:50am On Sep 14, 2013
justwise: Exactly!, so at the time and date he made that statement it could be true that Nigeria has not exhausted their 50,000 visa limit because the bulletin came out Sept and the 2013 processing ended Sept.
That's a lie,he made his statement for the future not for the present.

TravelRe: DV 2014 Winners Meet Here by ernestleon(m): 11:01am On Sep 14, 2013
justwise: He was right to deny that Nigeria is not eligible for 2015 lottery because at that time it was all rumour with no official confirmation, he can not rely on rumour from Wikipedia, it was only confirmed officially in latest bulletin.
His statement was made on the 23 of August 2013, he openly said if there will be dv 2015 under current rules Nigeria will be eligible.I guess he got the information from himself not from a reliable source.The so called rumour from Wikipedia has been proven true and correct and of course like you said he cannot rely on a rumour from Wikipedia he should have kept quiet and wait for official confirmation.

TravelRe: DV 2014 Winners Meet Here by ernestleon(m): 10:21am On Sep 14, 2013
