Why do you have to defend every damn action of Nigerias numero uno?anyway,you are better off fishing with your boss in Otueke waters.

obamaobama: do u mean may 1 @ 5am

i have edited my post.I intended to write 5pm,NigerIan Time.12 noon,Eastern Standard Time

obamaobama: pls at what time can we start checking the web page i mean nigerian time.@ i hate 9ja,bussyme,tiwanna and all the active members of this forum long time u hav comment hope no problem?GOODLUCK

12 noon, EasternStandard time. 1700 hours , NigerIan time on May 1st.But you should expect a humongous challenge in a bid to view results on that day ,which is normally occasioned by a Barrage of traffic to that site.

Kunlexymoore: Nice one. All glory to God. A quick one: Is it possible for every nairaland member especially on this thread, to itemise our information the way you have done it?; 1NL, forms sent to KCC,2NL date, date of interview, visa pick up, date of departure etc just as its being done on other similar threads online. This will make for quick reference especially for new comers and reduce unnecessary agitations from those who are waiting to be current and also reduce the number of questions people ask. As much as I like Nairaland, this is what I still find missing here. Is it possible to do this on nairaland? If it's possible, let's do it! Contributions are welcome. Thanks.

Affirmative.Posters would do well to heed your suggestion.I recall such is obtainable on immigrationportal as well.Was a regular visitor to that amazing site.

Ludicrous?Ridiculous?

Mr. Wally:
Hi All,

I would like to know if it is possible to get a visa for a certain date and decide not to use it until like 2 months after.

Reason: My father who is to come for my graduation in JUNE just informed me that he would be busy with some personal matters and instead let my mum come represent him. He is now planning to come around September to visit me. Would that be an issue at the POE since the VISA he will be coming with would state that he is coming for my graduation in June. He plans to tell CBS that he was too busy at that time, and now just want to come see me for a week or so. Is that sellable?

Thanks.

he could enter the US as long as the visa is valid.And,yes it is plausible.The CBP are not gonna turn him back just because he Didnt arrive on the original intended date

664 pages in about a year?ASTONISHING!!

A very interesting report concerning a Nigerian.

Loads of Nigerians were killed following the political upheaval in Libya.Be sure to think your plan through

Funlady412: Is it safer not to use an invitation letter to the US,is it ok to just go and visit as if you dont have anybody over there?

Even if you decide not to use an invitation letter,If you have relatives in the US,you gotta mention it.In that case,you would just need to show that you ve got stronger ties at home.The CoNsular Officer will consider your circumstances and financial situation in Nigeria ,and determine whether or not they are good enough to make you return.(INA Section 214B )

Adegokenath: guy what about the dv2014 entrant number of applicant received during the registration period.

The details should be out on May 1st

Yes,its high time we rein the moderator who keeps putting such inanities on the frontpage.

HotNaijaBabe: @Topic...Not again! Who unleashed all these hungry looking boys (always asking if they are handsome) on NL now! Men are out there making dough...boys are out here asking silly questions! Hian!!!

@Op....who advised u to do this! Men shouldn't get all worked up about looks nah!

How about reining in the moderator who put such an inane thread on the frontpage?

cuteboii: Because Nigeria is a failed state,nothing works in Nigeria for the ordinary man,i have been in south African for just 2 weeks and i see no need even trying to come back to Nigeria,it is really a shame that with the many resources Nigeria posses we can not afford ordinary 24 hours uninterrupted power supply,deep down i cry for Nigeria because we are heading for doom unless there is a revolution.

Although xenophobia appears to be a huge problem in Sa,one would be hard pressed to compare her with Nigeria

adesojiaderemi@:
the code for welcoming letter is 1-797C it is called "notice of action"

Bros Adesoji,how have you been?Just checking on you.Enjoy......

SlyIg: But what is d Op afraid of telling us! You aint a good amebor at all. And i won't advise you to go into Naija blogging cos you won't sale. You're suppose to cook the story very well even before coming online, d story for sweet wel wel.

She wont "Sale"?

Whoever sent me a PM should try and send it again so I may be able to view it.

Obiagelli: Went 4 the interview today
V/o can I have ur application
Me: gave her
V/o : where are u visiting
Me: California
V/o: reason for travel
Me: to attend my uncles wedding
V/o: how long has been he been in the us
Me: 14yrs
V/o: how old his he
Me: I forgot to ask his age( I said 37)
V/o: have u travelled outside Nigeria
Me: no
V/o: sorry u do not qualify for a visa now.

I noticed to many people were denied was it because it was Monday.

You shot yourself in the foot by answering that question.You could have said you were not sure,although the co expects you to know every detail about your host.The Co's dont condone that,and there could be stiff penalties.The age question of comes up during interviews ,and once one bungles it,its over.The Co would have accessed your uncles bio from their database(Dont forget they issued your uncle a visa) before the interview.And,If you couldnt provide the correct age of your own uncle,how do the expect the CO to trust that you are a genuine visitor?Lets turn the tables:If you were the CO,wouldnt you have granted the visa?Bottom line:You gotta be very honest with US Consular Officers.Its crucial.

Amaechi is "the phenomenom".QED.

I love the vibrancy of this thread,considering that a few years ago,Dv threads were virtually non existent.But of course,its generating So much nostalgia recently,and its quite exhilarating to see the high level of enthusiasm the DV process covets now.Yes,one has to recognize the clairvoyance of adesojiaderemi in creating this thread.Its sure been of homongous help to DV immigrants.Second base!

simplest: Happy sunday once again, plz i've got one important questn to ask, when i was filling dv 2014, am single but i hv a fiancee, by filling d form i wrote my own surname for her without doing wedding ooo, hoping one wil be out of d two entries so am nw thinking mayb i hv done a mistake by using my own surname for her, plz my E-family answer my questn

In the event that she is selected,how are you gonna prove that you were married at that time?Thats the gargatuan question!I mean how are you gonna be able to provide docs and pics to actually to actually prove that you had been married?Of course ones status could change after playing,wherein one could notify the KCC with no problems,but yours is a totally different ballgame.THe DV Co's do place a priority on docs and pics as opposed to the TOURIST VISA Consulars Officers.Yes,they are always on the lookout for bogus marriages,and once one is found culpable,thats it.You ve got your work cut out.

I would rather not dignify such a nonsensical question with a response.What were the moderators thinking?

ggeorge:
like how many years would take before the approval of an I-130?

The combination of high demand and limits set by law on the number of people that can immigrate in a year means you might have to wait for several years,so I am not able to reel that out off hand.Of course you can track the status of your application on the USCIS website.

ggeorge:
although she has already filed for me this year with her permanent green card..she was issued 2010

Filing an I-130 petition for you means you might have to wait for several years before it is approved.But when she becomes a citizen,you qualify to join her immeadiately,and do not have to join a wait line.Either ways,you are not able to be issued with a tourist visa as evidenced by your immigrant intentions,considering your I-130 petition.

ggeorge: Dear NL. i am planning to visit my wife in the US by dec. this year, she is a green card holder and we did our Registry this year January, pls what documents do i need to apply with, and what documents do i need to present to the embassy, more also when is the right time to book for an interview with the embassy, pls i need your urgent advice, thanks.

If your wife is a Legal permanent resident,it would be extremely difficult to pay her a visit,as you might not be able to overcome the burden of proof contained in section 216B.Co's are usually not able to trust that one can "visit" one's spouse and return.The truth is that you might have to wait until she becomes a citizen(Usually after 5 years on a Green card) and files for you,before you are able to visit her or immigrate.This is usually the case.When was she issued with a green card?
