Leripa: There are two registered bureau de change at the MMA 2 Ikeja. One is SULAH and the other one is MORNYLINK. Have a great day.

Izyy: @coop i no do am anything,is just that you have to be prepared incase ur number shows up on window 15...it is God's grace afterall this is my first time of playing the US VISA LOTTERY.played once and won..the funny thing about that Co 15 is that he appears very intelligent and detailed

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).

Co: okay( looks @ his system, checked my docs again and stares into my face)
@ dis point, I don calm down...no tension.

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.

YessWeeCan: I arrive at the embassy by 5.00am, we waited for about an hour b4 we where ask to line-up in two lines one for immigrant and the other for non-immigrant, pass through all the security check. I was call to submit my doc in win 17 then sat quietly waiting for the last stage.

win 15 started first followed by 14 then 16 and 13 respectively. b4 i was called, win 15 already denied 4 out of 6 applicants he interviewed, this made me comfortable an anxiety seems to set-in, win 16 granted 1 denied 2 while win 13 grant 1 ask another to go a doc.

i was interviewed at win 14 the black angel, she already granted all 3 before me, she is just so nice though drained me for over 15mins, i did enjoy it cos she did that smiling all through.

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
