tosrich: My interview experience:
The computer refused to call my no for interview after almost everybody have been attended to, even those that came after me. I was alone with my thought thinking of so many things that might have gone wrong with serious fear in me. Most of the COs have already through for the day. At around 11:45am one of the CO that was about closing noticed that I have not been attended called me to his window and said, Sir, what are u waiting for? And I said I've not been attended to and he was amazed to hear that, again fear griped me when I saw his facial expression.
He asked me to go back to where I was sitting and he went to meet one black lady. After like 3minutes the lady called me to her window and requested for my passport and my document [original and photocopy]. When she collected it she just shook her head and the I was shivering again. Later she said go to that window[the CO that earlier noticed me on the sit]. And that was how it started.

CO: good morning sir
Me: good morning sir

CO: rais up your right hand and swell that you are going to say the truth
ME: I sworn

CO: is this your form (he showed me the form I sent to kcc with my passport on it) for signing.
Me: I collected it and I signed and return it back to him.

CO: what is your highest edu. Qualification?
ME: Bsc in Biz admin

CO: what courses did you do in your last semester?
ME: I mentioned 4 courses that crossed my mind at that time

CO: tell me your project topic and discuss it with me?
ME: I mention the topic and I discused the abstract of my project topic.

CO: what is your recommendation?
ME: I told him.

CO: what are u doing presently?
ME: am doing my NYSC in a local govt in ondo state.

CO: what department are you and what do they do in your dept.
ME: am in treasury dept and we prepare budget,account and expenditure of the LG.
He asked to stop and the next thing I saw him doing was that he wrote DV ISSUED on my file. And he returned all my original document to me and asked me to wait. He circled one addres in a paper and asked me to go and pick up my visa in 5 working days and lastly he said CONGRATULATION, WELCOME TO AMERICA..

I thank God because I had lost hope being the last person to be interviewed.

Congrats bro

Gentiger: Please I need everyone to make an input here. A fellow got denied because he couldn't provide sufficient proof of funds and had no affidavit of support from a legal resident or citizen.

I have heard people say you don't need affidavit of support, Form 134 precisely. In line with this fellows experience, is it wise to tell people they don't need it? Don't you all think this little piece of document is very crucial?

DV winners (at least from nigeria) dont need no affidavit of support. An applicant can talk about an affidavit of support if he is being sponsored by a US citizen or a permanent resident.

There was a lady that was asked about her Affidavit of support when she was called up to one of the windows (probably to submit her documents b4 interview proper) and she quickly responded saying - there's no such requirement on their website for Dv winners.

After her quick and successful interview by another person, She then asked the CO if truly affidavit of support was supposed to be a requirement and the CO said- NO.

I happen to know a few past DV winners and when I brought up the question of affidavit of support, they said - that is not needed for naija winners and that they never demanded for such during their interview.

House, pls I'm not sure how this might affect as i just realised my SSCE statement of result bears my other name (native/local name).
Every other document/certificates from primary to university bears my surname and first names - its just the statement of SSCE result alone - Even the SSCE certificate bears my Surname and Firstname alone.

Statement of SSCE result: Akpos John Nnamdi
SSCE Certificate: Akpos John

Questions:

1- Should I just ignore and go along for the interview as it is or there's something i could do to straighten things up?

2- Since the eduacation qualification requirement states - "Submit to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate at your interview, a certificate of completion...", I should only provide/submit my SSCE certificate without the statement of result?

So what is your advice to this woman? I think they will throw her out.

I mentioned that earlier- She can go without the baby (thats if she must) and sort out other ways of reuniting with the baby.

It is not true.........why were we advising someone last time to stick to US Embassy, London?

Well, to an extent I see where u are coming from. But if I must say,I guess we are talking about the inclusion of a baby that wasn't in the DV application and I made reference to a case in Ghana.
Well, I believe be it in Naija, Ghana or London, adding someone not in ur original DV application is a good ground for visa refusal.
Yes COs might be 'soft' in their dealings with applicants in certain countries but that doesn't get them off the simple but very strict rules.

My major worry now is which of the two hospitals to use for my Medicals as one is not really making much sense when I called and was asking question; and the other that responded well to my questions was saying for my wife and I, we be charged 31k each - assuming we don't have previous medical records.
And for kids (both less than 5yrs) 40k+ each - assumming they lack medical records as well.
That with immunization records and all that, the amount could reduce. I was infact advice I visit the hospital to determine what examinations I need carry out to determine d exact amount.

I know that and that was in Ghana...we get the harshest decisions here. I think she can just go without the kid and claim low cash. It might work.

Be it in Ghana or else where, there laid down procedures COs do adhere to.

That's a bright one!

kunlexy2012: 1.Dear NL,our interview date is Sept.4th,2012(my wife,2 kids and myself).My wife is the principal but i av an official assignment to the Eastern part from 1st to 5th,Sept.Kindly advise on how we can shift the appointment date by 3 0r 4days.
2.My wife has NECO,GCE and (NCE) as her highest qualification.Where do you think we should expect the likely questions from?Do we really need to go to the interview with our courtship pictures because we dont really av those pictures?Thanks for ur usual encouragement.

Bro, if u must reschedule anything, it should be your official assgnment o! Visas dey decrease by d day o!

Questions might come from her favourite subjects. Nothing really tough I suppose.

Get as much pix as u can by way of establishing your relationship before and after your marriage. So long your marriage is authentic, I'm almost certain you have nothing to worry about.

We have d same interview date. Goodluck to us!

What about she claims the kid just died and still proceed only her?
I'm not sure that's a good idea. There was a case of a ghanaian family who couldn't pay d visa fees for the entire family of just three and they had to pay for two excluding d kid and I remember d CO telling the lazy(who's the principal applicant) that she will have to wait a few years without the kid..

So my advice to her is she can leave the baby with her mother (that's if she most move) and come back years after for d baby or work out other ways of reuniting with the baby legally after a few years - such a hard decision leaving one's baby behind for a few years, but I must say its certainly better than saying she lost d baby

That's too bad. You can only add a new arrival, that is a new born child who was not born at the time of application or a spouse for those who applied as single but now married. Any new additions other these result in outright denial. So sowie!

Honestly, its very sad.

I forgot to tell you that the age of the baby may also determine how much and the nature of test to carry out on such kid.I paid 4500 for my 4months old baby then at KAMORASS becos his immunization record was up to date but i dont know how much Qlife and children clinic would collect

Ok. So I should just budget something reasonable just in case. Thanks for the info.
Immunization records up to date - I hope its not more than the immune certificate issued when a child is done with those necessary vaccinations?

I think you will spend more than 21k for medical if you complete your doses of vaccines, so just budget like 30k. Medical for kids depend on the immunization records of the baby in particular. If the record is up to date,you maynot spend more than 5k

Ok. Thanks for the info. At least one is getting more informed from those wt practical experience here in ds house.
Its not only about reading what they stated on their sites.

Kids have all their immunization records up to date.
