Alhamdulilai i'm current @last, and to all other current brethrens may almighty Allah see u tru the whole process, success shall be ours...Amin

uniqueprivacy: First of all i want to thank God almighty for proving to me that He is God and still answers prayers. Also to tahnk other forumites for your wonderful contributions to this success story of mine. I want you guys to know that you are very important and beleive that when God is involved in a thing he will always create an avenue to ensure that that thing comes out successful especially when we rely absolutely on Him and not our own strenght. I had so many quetions in my mind after receiving ma 2NL, but didn't know how to get answers until someone introduced me to this new family i never knew i will have, that is you(Nairaland Forum), yes you that is reading this message. Thank you so much for your encouragement, guidance and challenges. My prayers are that God will make us all useful to our selves, to Him, to our families, to our country and the world at large.Only be positive and good cos it pays to be good and a great loss to be evil.
And to the gurus (names ommited) in the house , you know urselves and we all know you keep up with the good job, only God can pay you.

Now here is my interview experience.
I arrived the embassey at 5:55am, waited outside till abt 6:30am before we were asked to queue up for the security checks and finally to the interview hall at about 7:15am.
waited with anticipation to see how this white lady at window 16 looks like, finally she came up and another gentle white man in window 15 and yet another at window 13. befor this, our numbers were called at different windows for submission of our documents by blacks, and my docs were collected at window 16, so i felt that was it, that i will be interviewed at that window, but to my surprise it was window 15 that later called my number.
CO: good morning
me: replied with a polite smile
co: do you promise to tell the truth and nothing buth the truth?
me: absolutely i do
co: what's your highest level of education
me: HND in full
co: from which sch
me:replied
co:what's your discipline

co:Mr. mentioned my name we have gone thru your document and every information provided is ok and no further question. congratulations, brought out a white sheet and cicled and address and then said pick up your visa at this address on monday next week.
me:thank you with a million smiles.

It was God who did it and not me,to Him alone be all the glory.
plesae take note when going for your interview, go with someone who can take care of unwanted items, or go with a car where you can keep them. For nursing mothers you are not allowed to go in with baby food, please feed your baby ouside befor going inside, except for breast feeding.

Wishing you all that are still expecting best of luck. the God that did it for me, will also do it for you, but pls try to know Him more not just for the purpose of this interview, but throughout your life. It pays to know and to serve God.
God bless us all in jesus name, amen.

widelink: HERE IS MY INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE.
I got to the embassy with my wife and my 24days old baby girl around 5:50am. We were called to line up @ 6:30am for security checks, the security too much here ooo my people...well, we have said prayers as if heaven wan fall. We got to the main building where interview takes place. I was given a number that would be called @ designated window though I firstly paid $990 for three of us. I was called @ window 13 to submit our documents and surprisingly; the lady gave me a warm smile when she saw the correspondence that I wrote to the KCC when I submitted my DS 230 form. I explained in the letter that my wife was pregnant and we could appear more than two during the interview I also included the shot of my wife during pregnancy She returned my letter and the picture and asked me to go back and wait for my number to be called for proper interview. Sorry for the story so far....I was called at window 16 where the white consular there just denied the first person that just left her window, yeeehhhh!!! the fear first catch me.

Me: Good morning
Co: Morning thanks
[I started to be brave because she's a woman and I'm a man]
Co: Do you swear to say the truth?
Me: Yes I will
Co: Finger print pls
Me&My wife: [finger print done]
Co: How old is your baby? [turned to my wife]
My wife: 24days i.e 3weeks 2days

MY WIFE LEFT ME WITH MY FATE
****Battle that God has already won for me started****

Me: Higher National Diploma (HND) in Electronics and Telecommunications
Co: pls repeat that
Me: Repeated
Co: Tell me about your courses
Me: I mentioned
Co: You said micro processor applications, and you studied telecoms how did that relate?
Me: I explained but she was lost my technical terms
Co: Tell me another course
Me: Electrical Drafting and Design
Co: Whats the relationship between that and telecommunication?
Me: I started and she was unable to look straight into my eyes again and by that time she started typing something on her computer
Co: You submitted 2 results and y?
Me: I had pass in my English by the time I was given admission but the requirements have changed now because I needed another result for my Post Graduate Studies.
Co: Whats your favourite subject?
Me: Physics
Co: Why physics when you did not have best grade in it?
***I MUTED; WHATS HER OWN NOW*** I replied with boldness
Me: I like practicals and I did well in my practicals but unfortunately, Practicals do not carry marks above 40
Co: how many times in a week do you offer physics in your secondary school?
Me: 3 time, Monday Wed and practical on Friday
Co: Do you have only physics lab for other practicals?
Me: I was the lab prefect, we had 3labs Chem, Bio and Phy separately

Me: My house too far from general hospital and she was having contraction by that night and I tried to avoid any risk.
Co: Did she go tru long labour?
Me: I rushed back to get some things I was asked to bring......
SHE WANTED TO STAY LONG ON THAT QUESTION AND I CAME IN
Me: Our naming pix are here with our wedding album

Co: Let me have them.... She collected them
Co: Who gave your baby the first name
Me: I did as a father
Co: Whats the name your mother in-law gave the baby?.......I forgot that one oooo
Me: My mother named her ******* she wrote it down as she has been writing some facts down about me. I looked @ what she wrote and I told her she was correct not knowing she didnt want me to see it before but I saw it all.
Co: I said your mother in-law***** she was unable to cover what she was hiding again
Me: She didnt name her before I printed the names out of my personal printer.
Co: You really tried, I will give you Visa
SHE CIRCLED AND ADDRESS AND ASKED ME TO PICK OUR VISAS THERE AND RETURN OTHER DOCUMENTS.

SHE DID NOT EVEN BORDER TO CALL MY WIFE AT ALL BECAUSE BY THAT TIME MY WIFE WAS SHIVERING ON HER SIT FOR THE LONG JOURNEY INTERVIEW. TO GOD BE THE GLORY I MADE IT.

MY ADVICE FOR THE REST OF PEOPLE IS THAT, YOU SHOULD HAVE COURAGE AND HAVE TRUST IN GOD. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT DIFFICULT AS MANY PEOPLE DESCRIBED THEM WITH WHAT I WITNESSED.

THAT VISA BELONGS TO YOU, GO AND HAVE IT ITS YOUR RIGHT AND DO YOUR PAPERWORK VERY WELL OOOO. BIRTH CERT, O'LEVEL,MARRIAGE CERT IF MARRIED, MEDICALS, POLICE CERT, ID CARD IF YOURE ALREADY EMPLOYED ANY DOCUMENT THAT COULD HELP IN-CASE.

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST..

akshow77: Thanks to contributing and non-contributing members of this great thread.my day starts and end with this thread and have come to realize the only thing needed for success in life is when everybody lend a helping hand like is been done here.I set out around 5am this morning for the embassy but was 10minutes into the the journey before discovering my x-ray was missing,had to return to pick to it up.finally got to the embassy by 6am.After been ushered into the the embassy around 7am,payment made and and documents collected,the immigrant visa interview started around 8.30am.The white co at window14 was the 1st to start the interview.sooner enough she was joined by the black co at window 13.strange enough the first denial of the day was by the black American lady.Thereafter every other person came out smiling.I discovered that the white co at window 16 is very detailed and she had just a lady throughout the duration of my stay.The window 15guy is also detailed but not as rigourous as that of 16.I was finally called to window13 around 9.28am.

hello house, wanna ask a question plz

National Diploma being the highest level of education, would i still need to provide my GCE original Result certificate or i am good to go with the printout from the computer or all i need is just the ND Certificate since it is the highest level of education ?....

THANKS EVERYONE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO MY ABOVE QUESTION.BUT I STILL HAVENT GOTTEN ANY GOOD ANSWER AS TO WHY THE BULLETIN DOES CARRY ABOVE 50,000.THANK YOU

hello NL there are thing that i still dont understand and it actually baffles me.

1)kcc stated that 100,000 selectees are selected around the world and ever since i have been following the dv lottery process i have not seen anybody with case number higher than 50 thousand, even the visa bulletin doesnt carry current case numbers above 50,000.is it that 2 or more pple share the same case number from different region or country.
