just god: To He who has been there for me in ages past, who is and who is to come, I say THANK YOU.

My interview experience:

Left home around 4:20am and arrived @ the embassy around 4:40am. At that time, I could count our numbers, but @ 5:40am...walter carrington was another village market.
We were divided according to our visa categories then observed all security protocols (d check no be beans o). Asked to open d medicals n got tags for payment.
Made payment inside the hall and submitted credentials( no1 collected d x-ray).

After a looong wait, d interview started with families (for immigrants) and I was the 1st single to be called @10:15am (my number beeped @ window 16). It was even @izzy that tapped me. At this point my people, my blood pressure increased (I no go lie).

Me: good morning
Co: good morning
Co: pls raise your hand and swear that all you say will be the truth.
Me: I promise to say the truth
Co: what is your highest level of edu?
Me: Bsc
Co: in what?
Me: bla bla
Co: name of school and what year?
Me: bla bla, 2007
Co: did you say 2010?
Me: No, 2007
Co: where did you serve, state and what were you doing?
Me: bla bla
Co: what were you doing after school?
Me: bla bla bla
Co: why did you play the lottery?
Me: I want a fresh start
Co: have you ever applied for a US visa?
Me: No, just DV's
Co: where do you live and is it with your parents?
Me: bla bla, not with my parents.
Co: when will your wife be going with you?
Me: wife?(With a smile) I'm not married
Co: okay( looks @ his system, checked my docs again and stares into my face)
@ dis point, I don calm down...no tension.
Co: what is your date of birth?
Me: bla bla bla


Na so interview finish o, he gave me 2 white papers and was explaining plenty things( I just dey look, I no listen again). But I remember him say I can pay my UCIS fee when I get to the states or before I leave.

I want to gratefully thank everyone who has contributed to this forum +vely and those who encouraged me on this long journey...I can't but mention mantiger, edimop, genlion, tycoon, roodboy,faithman2020,jidex just to mention a few. You guys rock.

Wishing every1 awaiting interview a success story.

dixon4u: Forumite, please i need your professional advice on this . i am a selectee for the DV2014 but i'm having some issues.the person that registered for me used a different name from the one i have on my credentials. my surname is the only correct name. please,what can i do? i dont wanna loose this opportunity o...
I'm using below example for your understanding.
The name i was registered with is Diamond, Adeleke Michael
My credentials carried Diamond, Leke Olamide
I bear all the name though.
I've been able to get my NPC birth cert and international passport to carry the names as Diamond, Adeleke Michael Olamide and also included Olamide as other name in the forms i sent to KCC. My concern now is my results that carry Diamond, Leke Olamide.
Do i need to get an affidavit for change of name from Diamond, Leke Olamide to Diamond, Adeleke Michael Olamide?
PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICE O
. U need nt to worry. I had similar case where my third name on my cert is differnt frm the third name I used in winning. Now I av my visa. Wat u will do is dat ensure u put all the names on the NPC cert. And on the forms u will send to kcc, there is a place where u av other name used as alias, just write dat name dat is nt used in winning. Also, go to the high court for harmonization of name. The co might nt even ask u becos I was nt even ask. So don't panis. Just do wat I ask u to do

. U need nt to be worried. I had similiar issue bt now I av received my visa. Just make sure u use the one on dat letter to apply for ur passport. Also get an avidavit frm d high court. Tell them u want to do harminisation of name. Infact d consular might not even ask u anytin on dat name. I was not ask anytin. My own case is even worse dan urs becos d third name on my letter is different frm d third name on my waec cert. So relax bro
