cute2014: This sounds like family based IV application.I personally don't know much about the requirements but I think most have to be gotten by the petitioner from the US agencies.But if some are needed from the applicant in Nigeria,then the ffg may help;

I.Insurance policies/deeds/income tax returns/social security records/census records/family bible entries:I don't think this is popular in this part of our world.

2.Govt id papers: U can go for the National ID card.

3.Passports: U can get this easily

4.Tax card:I think u can go to internal revenue to get a e-tax card if employed.

5.Records of family records: Pictures can help in this regard and also for residence.

I hope this helps a bit.

felixfelix: My good people, someone who the mother filed for was asked to bring the following to her interview bt she does not know spefically places to go abt these- 1. INSURANCE POLICIES- This documents shld indicate d beneficiary (ies) named & relaship to d policyholder. 2.MISCELLANEOUS-Govt id papers,Deeds,Passports,business records,income tax returns,social security records, census records, family bible entries & records of family events. 3. RESIDENCE- Documentation showing that d parents & child primary residence was one in d same during d child's childhood. N:b These in midst of all are wht dy were asked to provide bt she does not how to go abt these. Any information or direction?

Dekonjay: This is the day that The Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. My family's interview was a success today! USA here I come!!

jejelady: I replied ur pm felix but no response since then. What is ur bkgrnd?

diskindgod: It was exactly a week now that I went for my chat. I purposely delayed posting my experience because of the response I was expecting from the embassy.

Based on advice from NL members,we left all our items in the hotel except our docs which I packed in a big nylon bag. At the first security check, wife and my son were allowed and later ordered by the security to the hall while I was at the first point doing security check because of the nylon containing our docs I held. After the thorough check, I stepped outside to go to the main hall but couldn't sight my wife. I asked the security who gave people umbrellas and said she has been ordered in. His colleague apologised for that. As I entered the hall for other security check, I met my wife standing and about to be sent out for being overstayed by the security. I removed belt, got no B411 and we all entered the interview hall. While paying for three, wife was asked to go sit. Docs were well arranged and submitted as the officer said 'Thank you for being organised'. (Thanks to NL, where I got how to arrange docs, for this compliments). While the waiting lasted, I almost went 20times to carry my son from different corners he went playing and disturbing people.

No beeped at window 16(White lady). We went together while son was carried by wifey. Did finger prints and son(1yr 3months) also wanted to place his hands. When I saw he wanted to cry, I just allowed him place hands.

CO: Gd morning
Me: replied.
CO: are u xyz
Me: yes
CO: what is ur highest qualification
Me: answered.
CO: what year (couldn't hear well and begged she say it again 2times as son was pestering with noise abt to cry)
CO: Pls madam(my wife) go and sit far off with the child

I was left alone, she continued with me and later called my wife for her own chat while I also went to sit afar.

Wifey: my husband.
CO: How many nurses are in the hospital
Wifey: I don't know
CO: is the matron owner of the mission house
Wifey: yes

After these two seperate interviews, I was denied visa on the grounds of inability to convince the CO of a bona fide spousal relationship.

Lessons:
1) For people yet to go for interview, pls prepare very very well as visa limit has been reached for the fiscal year hence embassy is looking for any loophole to deny applicants. DV visa no too dey again o.

2) People with babies should leave the babies playing and show them if the CO asks for them. A child will always be a child. They can distract and cause separate interviews if taken along to the CO.

3) Patners should not leave themselves irrespective of pressures from the embassy security.

Thank you to all green house members 2013 and 2014 threads. The bbm NL group is also appreciated. I remember how the monthly prayers & fasting contributed to my spiritual life. You guys are all wonderful. Names too numerous to mention.

*Special thanks to ALL Nairalanders and a special shout out to the brain behind Nairaland *Respect! GOD Bless America for the opportunity and GOD Bless Nigeria and help us attain our full potential-Amen.

#Observations and Advice- I discovered we carried d biggest bag among all,fully loaded with supporting documents ofcourse but after submitting d necessary docz,nothing was requested from us again. Not even our Photo album *Note -this doesn't mean people shouldn't go with necessary supporting docz,cases differ...The most important thing is to (1) Acknowledge GOD. None of us selected him/herself,Na GOD do am. (2)Prepare adequately *there is nothing like 'over-preparation'. (3) be cordial with pple in d interview hall and compose urself very well *couples should chat a lot while waiting for their turn nd try to crack jokes to ease tension. (4)Look around briefly and learn quickly.*no need to dey change seat. (5) if one of the couple is asked to go and sit while they interview d other d one being interviewed dnt need to repeat d question or shout so the other can hear. (6)The Co will only ask u what they expect u to know so jus be calm and answer as if u r chatting with a friend. No be JAMB. Lol


Met with @Lakesyd family inside d interview hall.I feel sorry for their denial but GOD knows best and he certainly know what is best for them. Wishing @Lakesyd family all the best.


Success to all looking forward to their chat with d CO by GOD's grace,Amen. GOD that counted myself and family among the permanent winners will do it for you all,Amen! Blesss!!!

eleshinleekan: Hello bro,sent u a pm kindly respond Thanks

BUSATOS: @felixfelix, guess you are fine bruv and hope preparaton is in top gear.

tosinjoe: This is coming better late than never, it is more of my testimony of God's work than a visa interview experience.

Before my interview on July 31st, so many hurdles came our way, my wife and I had lots of financial scores to settle, at a time we almost gave up, our wedding pictures got corrupted on the flash drive, I only had the option of printing pictures from my phone and bringing the enlarged wedding frame in our sitting room.

To cut the long story short, we sold our phones and was able to do our medicals less than a week to our interview, in fact the days included Saturday, Sunday and the public holidays. Finally on July 30th I set out for Lagos from Akure around 5.30am to do my police report (my wife had done hers) and pick up our medicals result I borrowed money for transport, there was no money for either my police report nor our visa fees But I went to Lagos in faith, As I got to Ojota, I got a call conversation ensued and in less than 5min I got an alert. Brothers and sisters before the end of that day I received about four credit alerts, I finished everything and spoke to a friend at Obalende about coming with my wife to his plce for the night, my wife was still at Akure to collect her NPC attestation, for some reasons she was delayed in Akure till about 6PM(our interview is for 7am the next day) at a time she said she couldnt risk the journey again, but with God she got to Akure round 12:30am on the 31st,I had to go wait for her at Ojota. I called my friend at Obalende and he said it was too late and dangerous, despite being cash stripped we had to take a drop and lodge at obalende. checked in to the hotel around 1am, we asked the cab driver to come pick us by 4am. As at this time I had just the exact amount for both our visa fees in my account and a 1000naira in hand, after pressing our clothes and arranging our documents, another alert came in, this time it was a debit alert, making it impossible to withdraw d complete visa fees.

Not to bore u too much, we set out around 4:30am, we couldnt pay the cab driver, after all protocols our number came up on windows 16, all along I was praying seriously NOT to be interviewed there not knowing that was where God had set our table.
in less than 5min the interview was concluded
CO: greeted, asked what i do for a living, where I met my wife, when we got married, why we dnt have kids asked about two pictures
ME: answered accordingly
She called my wife and asked about three questions and then approved our visa
People where kind of surprised, though I wasnt. A lot of people discouraged us but with faith and persistence we conquered.

samolaniyi: If it is for 2014 dv, its too late but he can send his form to kcc sha.However,if it is for 2015 dv and a non- Naigerian,he can proceed with the application.
