ksjlar: Well it is just unfortunate because I shared my interview experience comprehensively on page one fifty something and no one even cared to acknowledge it with the exception of 3 people. You can go back to those pages or better still click on my name and you will see all my posts.
We have all spent our time lately on things which was not the reason why this thread was set up either by flaming the fire or cooling down tempers of those who are on fire.
What more can I say







No I am not in Nigeria, I am Ghanaian but I live in Europe.

iamxpinoza: hello lovely people, i'm from ghana and a winner of dv 2013 as well with a case number, 16***. plz, i would like to know when the 2nd nl is likely to drop. I sent my forms on 26th may.

adzovia: no. and i did not notice anyone being asked that but well who knows

adzovia: finished my interview some few hours ago. it was sucessful this were the questions i was asked
co: are u narried
me: ?
co: have u ever been married?
me: ?
co: do u have kids
me: ?
co: wat is your profession
me: ?
co: come on so so date for your visa do not make any travel plans before then

anyway just to chip in i realised at the interview a guy came in with his high school certificate and he had F in both english and maths. one of the co's told him that is ground for disqualification he told her he rewrote the exam that is novdec in ghana i believe is neco in nigeria well when asked where that result is he said he left it at home. pls go to the interview with all your certificates all they need is your high school anyway.
good luck to all of u. remember to pray before u go.

babbs45: For all those waiting to be interview, I pray you all are granted the visas in IJN. There are so many good opportunities over here, all the good things in life that you can think of BUT then again it can be very very stressful and sometimes depressing. This forum serve as a kinda therapy for me. Reading temmytanny and gentiger go at it put some smile on my face especially when am down. No disrespect to people trying to squash this. I'll be posting my lil bro's interview experience as soon as it is over. You all keep up the good work.

temmytanny: OK , tanx bro. I will abide.

coax: Thanks dude,
Going to work in I.T. (that's what I'm doing now)

coax: Had my interview yesterday. CO was a true gentleman, and interview was a very short, and smooth one (5 mins max).

what are you going to do in USA.
have you ever been to USA before?
have you ever been arrested?
what's your highest level of education.
when did you finish your highest level of education?

That's it. He congratulated me,and told me what will happen next.

one advise is to make sure all of the translations are 100% accurate. I've seen other applicants were asked to resubmit some of their documents due to inaccurate translation.

Cheers and good luck to all.

CONGRATS. IM INTERESTED IN YOUR ANSWER TO THE "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IN USA?"

Don Kool: Note that I chose to qualify with work experience. My current occupation is classified as a jobzone 4??( now that i thru i no fit readily remember! lol)
CO - What do you do?
me - I'm a ***** engineer with ***** company (oil and gas)
CO - Since when have been working there?
me - over five years now.
CO - Ok. Congrats, your visa has been approved.

Funny thing was that they did not collect any of my evidence of employment. just my educational certificates from ss testimonial to university cert and NYSC - Originals and photocopy (CO returned the orijos to me).

I noticed some peeps believe there is a formula to it. i don't subscribe to that school of thought.
it depends on what you have claimed and how well you can defend it, which in turn depends on the circumstances around the individual/family. I also believe what the COs are mostly looking for is inconsistencies in our claims and signs of insincerity in our answers.

I would suggest each of us should scrutinize his/her claims and prepare a solid document based defense for every claim. Then prepare for questions based on what you have claimed to have/be.

In my case, as far as i'm concerned, i merely showed up that day. I thank God for ordaining my steps to study what i did, get the job i have and win the lottery. He has been ordering my steps and keeping alive to fulfill the plan.
He that did mine shall also do for those who believe in Him. Amen.

That was the message i got from the US embassy in ghana in regards to AOS for ghanians. Not needed but may be required in certain cases.

temmytanny: no be me talk am oooo

temmytanny: really? I really missed ghana and their food(banku). I love ghana girls, straights forward and neva slacking!

jidedon2000@yah:
ara ile wa ja ! 9ja featuring Ghana good colabo. lol

jay92: @adzovia.
all d best in your coming interview. just finished getting everything together.buh still waintn for medical result.all is well in Jesus name.

femsoj: am a nigerian,as for my own AOS,the only document the person attached with it was the photocopy of his american passport.but the information in the AOS include his working place,his annual earnings,the amount of tax he pays,his dependant,etc

Gentiger: That's the spirit......just in case. Anyway, the form in question is not meant for you to fill. A US citizen or a Legal permanent resident can fill that form for you if they so wish. If you got relatives in the US who meet the above status, then try speaking with them on the possibility. It's really not a big deal as we are made to believe. Goodluck!

Hov63: @adzovia since u have ur interview date i thnk u can mail gh embassy to confirm da AOS trouble 4 we ghanaians cos i hav asked atleast 4 dv2012 winners in US nw nd they all said its not required. Im gettin confused.tnx

temmytanny: why not mail US embassy in Ghana and ask?No affidavit of support apply to naija applicants, i dont know about other countries

adzovia: i guess this forum is not only for Nigerians but other nationals as well. if there is an issue concerning one country for example the affidavit of support i think is fair to say "i am from this country and is not needed" cause other ppl from other countries might need it and go there unprepared that is why i am of the view that is better to be prepared than sorry. and please let tempers cool down. i believe things tend to get heated up
when this affidavit thing is mentioned i dont know why. please let everyone smile cause we are all winners

Ibracadabra: You'd have to go yourself for the police report. Nobody should get it done for you as you'll have to b fingerprinted among other things...

Amedino1: .
Ȋ̝̊̅̄f Ɣ☺ΰ hav stay ΐϞ naija over 6mths Ɣ☺ΰ will need Naija police rep too,but it depend on wat u filled ΐϞ ur form. Alagbon(Ikoyi). It wait n get, arrd 5K....

honeydee: Hi everyone. im new in here. i must say you guys are awesome. God richly bless you for the good work. Theres no doubt that Nigerians do not require an affidavit of support but i would appreciate it if someone could clarify if Ghanaians need it because i keep getting different responses and its really getting confusing.
Secondly my school results have my names written in a certain order while my passport and kcc forms have my middle name as my first name. would this be an issue?
Lastly i lived in Nigeria for some years and i would require a police report from Nigeria. Can i ask someone to get that for me or do i have to go there personally? Where exactly in Lagos is it done and how long does it take?

Don Kool: Had my interview today.
It was super smooth.
they only asked where i was working and for how long.
I was expecting smooth sailing 'cos i met the stipulated conditions (work and /or education) and all my documents were legit and in order so no shaking..
But after the interview, i realized that i had it better than i imagined and knew that it was God's hand at work.
What more can i say, Baba God Noni!!
All the best to the rest of us.
My advice is to get all necessary documentation in place and let HIM do the rest.
