ferdiii: They allow two sittings.
Pls tell that to Temmytanny. He's the one asking.
TravelRe: Dv Lottery 2012 Winner Meet Here by Gentiger(m):
temmytanny: Am not sure about two sitting because i had 7 credits in one sitting with no chemistry and english. I was almost dropping the other cert(DEC GCE) when i just changed my mind cos the instruction stated 5 credits. I would advice you go with two certs if you have them.
This guy seems to be confusing some hopefuls here. Someone please say something. Is it just one sitting the embassy wants?
TravelRe: Dv Lottery 2012 Winner Meet Here by Gentiger(m): 6:28pm On Aug 02, 2012
temmytanny: All you need is just five credits in one sitting
House, is it true that all you need is 5 credits in ONE sitting? Pls we need clarifications?

temmytanny: I wasnt denied the visa(for now) but they said i should provide family and baby pictures to prove my relationship status. I passed the education and job interview but when it came to relationship status,the lady that interviewed asked me when i first met my woman and where. I told her 2006 in calabar. she now said i have to come back on feb16th with family pictures and baby pictures to prove my point. I told her i have all the pictures with me but she refused to check them insisting i come back. I was depressed alot until my friend called me from US and told me that he went tru same issue and when he returned and provided all they asked,they gave him. so am hoping now and even looking for some tellers i used to send money to her then,more evidences of flights i booked for to come and see me in lagos,more pictures we took during our affairs etc. In the denial letter,they said i have insufficient document but i guess its because i provided only court cert. I have done the traditional wedding and promised my woman that we will do the white in lagos at my church when the baby is 1year old,it was then this DV lottery result came in.

Please do you have any one that has had my experience? i need to know and learn alot before the next interview cos as am writing you now am totally depressed.
Can someone pls help this guy. He was momentarily denied. No one knows if he was eventually issued. Others could learn from his story.

temmytanny: What do you mean by all this shi.t you are writing? Before it was nairalanders that were wrong and now its the embassy. My friend,am begining to doubt your credibilty as a lawyer. [i]You LAW shi.t!!![/i]I think common ethic in LAW could teach you that If embassy could send such mail,you can use it as evidence if they want to deny based on birth certificate issue. Even if they reject the birth certificate you presented,they cant deny you visa because of it. As far as am concerned,they only deny based on forged document,you dont meet requirement and how you fair in your interview(For DV applicants).Many have use even affidavits to get visa and you keep saying shi.t here. How can you say someone NPC attestation letter from NPC isnt the real one? Were you brought here to cause confusion or what?
If embassy changes rules,they will notify applicants thats was why i asked any 2013 winner to mail them for confirmation. Now its been confirmed,you are doing another MARADONNA for us.
You still have a date with them(embassy) and so keep sh.ut and face your exams.
I just stumbled into this and can't help responding. Mr. Temmytanny or abi kilo pe oruko e, I think the problem you have here is fear of loosing control. I have watched your comments closely and discovered so much insecurity. You are guiding jealously your little paradise and would rather rubbish any post to remain relevant. Well, it also appears you don't read in between the lines and have great difficulties understanding simple English. I'll be back to continue with the good works but got exams starting Saturday thru to the 10th. Rock your little boat while you may. Be sure this is a public forum. No one made you a coordinator over others here. Please deal with your insecurity and stop contesting for position that won't put food on your table. Until we see your visa, you remain a suspect. Others issued visas have all traveled out while you are still telling stories. Bros, go Yankee and post pictures. Stop fooling Nairalanders with false claims of issued visa. Goodluck!

Gbabe 2: @Gentiger I sent an email to d lagos embassy as well about d authentication shit u raised here and their reply was d same response d guy posted above.Let me tell u categorically here that regardless of whatever documents u present,the consular has d final perogative to issue d visa.Bro,with reference to dis ministry of foreign affairs authentication,its crap.It is not mandattory for Visa lottery.Come to think of it,may be Finger print might need unthentication as well?My candid advise for u is to just allow d issue die naturally.Don't allow pple to miscontrue your intention here pls.
Cheers
Finally, I rest this matter. I appreciate this advice. I have an exam commencing on Saturday. Let me give that priority. It's been nice contributing my little quota. Goodluck to all.

lillaowow: so every nigerian that has a birth certificate should start submitting them for the 2012 versionhuh

Bros, yu're starting to annoy lots of peepz here...
We're not even sure you're selected for further processing.
You just appeared from no where and started mis-leading ppl
Besides, you're yet to go for your interview...peepz that have gotten their visa said there isn't smthin like what you're claiming...
I'll implore you to concentrate more on somethin else aside from the issue of the NPC cert.

EXCEPT
You're the NPC officer from Abuja....so the yellow fever card aint selling anymore abi?.... Na birth certificate remain?
No you don't get it my brother, am only trying to ensure people don't have regrets because of a piece of document like a birth certificate.As for those who have been there and out, you must understand some people paid $440 in visa fees in March 2012 while others paid $330 in April 2012. If they attended interviews earlier in the year, you must keep your ears on ground to be current of changing trends. Listen up, annoying people isn't the reason for my outspokeness, educating people is. As to whether I was selected or not, it's upto me. Goodluck!

tovalli: Pls forumites is this what d npc birth certificate for people dat are born after 1992 looks like? Because this is d one my mum got for me and I want to be sure it will be accepted at the embassy..pls I'm awaiting ur replies
The 2008 NPC birth certificate you displayed here is a far cry from the 2012 version. For personal reasons, I won't scan and paste mine to be seen. With the seal of the Federal government on it , you will agree with me that no other birth certificate really makes much sense.
TravelRe: Dv Lottery 2012 Winner Meet Here by Gentiger(m): 5:38pm On Aug 01, 2012
jack_syno: You are right. I believe if they needed it authenticated they would have emphasised that as a requirement
The examiner is silent on your exam day. If you're expecting their response to tell you what to do and how to do it, then you don't get it yet. Goodluck.

g-busta:
I emailed the lagos U.S embassy to get some information concerning birth certificate,police report, level of education required etc. Apparently it is compulsory to have 5 credits in ur ssce.and this was the response i got.
Thank you for your email.

 

You will need to be able to show the officer that you are educationally qualified at the time of the interview.  

WAEC, NECO, GCE, or SSCE with 5 credits of “6” or better; OND; HND; or University Degree.

 

Medical and police report are also required at the time of interview. We now only accept medical examinations from these two medical facilities in Nigeria: the Q-Life family Clinic, Plot 155A Prince Ade Odedina Street, Off Ajose Adeogun, Victoria Island, Lagos 01-804-2000 or 01-726-2840 Cell: 0702-770-4055 or the Children’s Practice Ltd., 25 Raymond Njoku, Ikoyi, Lagos; 01-893-0723.  Please contact these clinics to schedule your medical examination.  Medical packets are available at the clinic or at

http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visa_forms.html. You would not be allowed in for the interview without a medical report from either clinic.

 

Each visa applicant aged 16 or over is required to submit a police certificate. This certificate must be obtained from Police Headquarters at Alagbon.

 

We also advise you come in with whatever birth certificate is available to you. You will be advised at the time of interview.

 

Regards,

 

 

Correspondence Unit

US CONSULATE GENERAL

LAGOS, NIGERIA

Hope this will enlighten a bit for those who need infos concerning any of the above field
These diplomats are smart. If you are psychologically trained like they are, you will fault this response and I quote,

' We also advise you come in with whatever
birth certificate is available to you. You will be
advised at the time of interview.'

Let me ask you, what kind of advice do you want to be given on your interview date? Get that advice now. Whatever birth certificate you have is no birth certificate. Don't wait to be denied for lack of adequate preparation. Go for a duly authenticated NPC birth certificate.

hituneu: Pls am confused,have sent the form but don't know if they will send a reply or I have to do some other thing thing again.how will I know they have sent me a reply?espically for my interview
If you sent your forms using a courier service, you should be able to track it online. However, KCC may not write to confirm receipt but it's your responsibility to write them to acknowledge receipt. I did and they responded. Ensure you specify case number, full names as it appears in your notification and the birth year. I experienced delay in their response because I omitted my year of birth. Goodluck!

adexkem: Gentiger, Aderemi, Temmtenny, Bussy and others thank for the way you handle the issue of birth cretificate and it didnt lead to any problem. for those in need of birth certificate , please follow your mind. this is not just a forum, it is community. i can tell you so many people we meet here that has become friend both at home(NAIJA) or in US. you never can tell who can be of help. when issue like this comes up, let manage it in this manner that will not cause trouble. when temmytenny come i believe we still need to start another topic that will educate on JJC VIEW OF UNITED STATE. the true is if many of you should know what you will face in the first year in US, i tell you , You will not resign from that job / business to come US. FOR INSTANCE a lottery winner went back to nigeria last week becos he cant cope with the condition he found himself. DO YOU KNOW WHAT ? The man is doing well at home selling car. so he have to leave and i support such idea. As for me am not regretting cos have not establish anything at home....
WE CHAT MORE WHENEVER USA GIVE ME TIME TO COME ONLINE COS TIME NA MONEY HERE.
Thanks brother. True to your words, let people follow their minds as regarding birth certificate. God who saw you thru, I pray should see the rest of us hopefuls thru. Much love. Goodluck!

You may still make it thru the period especially if you have already sent your forms to KCC. Keep your eyes glued to your email for invitation to interview. I await your testimony. Goodluck

pauloman: My friend that email message you said you received is a scam mail i can bet you that ! The organizers of the dvlottery does not send email notifications to selected dv lottery winners. So please take note ! You have to check with your confirmation number you got when you registered on their website to get any information that you have been selected at all
It may not be a scam. I am aware that some DV2012 winners got a mail from KCC which contains the confirmation ID used during registration, directing them to the entrant status check page. If this is his case, it may not be a scam.
TravelRe: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by Gentiger(m): 9:13am On Jul 31, 2012
I have observed with dismay that there are few testimonies of success at the interview especially from those who say they used one form of birth certificate or the other. By now, we should have had nairalanders from DV 2012 coming forward with success stories. I just hope they are not being denied. Most other foreign forums I have visited are filled with fantastic testimonies of success at visa interview. Food for thought.

adesojiaderemi@:
My brother, no one intends to attack your personalty,I dont even know I had a personal contact with you until you posted it.But one thing you should learn fast is how to address the public, by the nature of your training as lawyer you have to be frank and outspoken but when you are dealing with public avoid using words like

“Can someone competent and knowledgeable in this matters please respond”?
“but the way some of us assume the position of Lordship is amazing”
“Be careful with what you counsel”
“not before a thoughtless counsel deny you a lifetime opportunity”
“some people just want to shut others up because they believe they got superior knowledge having been to the embassy”.
“Go with your 5 O'levels pass without English and Mathematics especially if that's your highest education attainment and get a shocker of your life”

with these you may not get a favourable responses even what you are passing accros is reasonable.This forum is more of an advisory forum based on individual experiences rather than a correctional channel.Above all the public are benefiting from our arguments and they should be allow to make personal descision. I believe by this time next year you will look at this thread and laugh.
Wow! These are the charges against me? So it wasn't about the subject matter but the attitude? I am so sorry if I insulted your intelligence. You all are brilliant and have been a blessing to me.
I'll be more careful with words. But really, words are the major tools we work with as Lawyers. My words werent meant to belittle anyone or to put anyone down. One thing we must all learn is this, rules are dynamic and rules are made to be broken. What obtained yesterday may be disregarded today. Some of the Nigerians who work at the embassy may be our brothers, sisters, cousins or in-laws. You may never know. Some of the information divulged here may be classified. You may never know. Rather than argue it, ask for the individuals email and probe further like I did with you. I can't say more than this but let it be known to all that I am not here to dominate the scene. Am not here to promote any business or my identity. Gentiger is not my name and the email I gave out on request is not official or personal. It's well and once again I apologize to anyone who feels offended by my sincere inputs. Much love. Goodluck.

Tiwanna: concerning the npc certificate authentication thing, i called someone who works at npc office in port harcourt and asked him if one needs to authenticate his npc birth cert before he/she can use it to travel out of the country with it, he said that it depends on the country you are going to, some embassies will ask you to authenticate it while others wont. he also added that if i want to authenticate my npc cert i can bring it to the office in port harcourt and they will do it for me. but i don't see how authentication of npc cert in dvlottery is necessary, since nobody that has gone for interview and come out successfully have said that it is done that way or that the embassy asked them to authenticate their npc cert.
That's correct. Two of my friends who just got their lottery visas issued, have it on good authority that among the documents they sorted and returned to them were other birth certificates included. Their duly authenticated NPC issued certificates were chosen ahead of others. Incidentally they are not Nairalanders, but used the services of paid immigration consultants who are specialist in immigration matters. I sincerely wish people can just leave this matter to lottery winners to make a decision. It's better to pay more for the best outcome than to penny wise and pound foolish. If you are a DV lottery winner reading this, by now your common sense should have told you what to do. Go the extra mile if you have to. If you can, give the consular officer two for every one documents he asks for. In the order of priority and preference, documents issued at Federal level such as NPC birth certificate supersedes any state or local government issued equivalent. Be wise! Goodluck!
