G2Glory: Can anyone link me up with person to do the npc birth certificate within a very short time (1 week)?

Where are you doing it? In Benin, it's just a matter of minutes if the affidavit is ready.

PEACE!

westcodes: No reschedule rule? That's new, let's hope no has any cause to miss their interview.

Yes let's hope so. From the progress of the bulletin you'd observe that apptmt is really very very tight and rescheduling may not be granted. No space. You can imagine that they only gat space for 500 DVs.

PEACE!

mr rule: Please I need help am current for this October but I can't access that page to confirm if my second letter is ready.I ve done everything yet it refuse to open .after putin my confirmation number and other deatails it willl still return back to d same page with new code again.please is there anythin I can do.

Maybe you are typing your confirmation number incorrectly. I think you should start from forgot confirmation: https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/%28S%28tsxqk4u1znqnrv555pze1o55%29%29/Secure/RetrieveConfirmation.aspx
After it takes you to where it polls you confirmation out, just type only your Last name and then the authentication code should also be typed correctly. It's not case sensitive. Check fast, cos there is a 'no reschedule' rule at the Embassy for this DV2014 fiscal year.

PEACE!

VisaOfficer: We like people. You might want to put ATTN: IV CHIEF in the subject line...

I am not the person involved, although I know about the case and was really really worried about it. I am also commending you of your good heart. You are a real peoples' manager.

Obatide: Good question
Tentative budget (rough estimate) for a single adult,
Int'l Passport= N18000
NPC cert= N3000
Police cert= N3000
Medical= N20000
Photographs= N1000
Processing fee- $330 @ N165/$ = N54500
USCIS Payment- $16 =27250
Miscelleneous- 20000
Total = N146,725
People can update pls

Hope it helps?

moyegun and kevwe, wen will u be current? maybe we could do our medical and police report the same day being families like mine. I should be current by December wen the bulletin is released. best regards to your wife and kid(s)

Nice analysis. Point of note: $165 for USCIS, he mistakenly put $16. Obatide, you tried there. Studies from previous year's bulletin, I should be current by December with CN 880*, it would be a very beautiful idea if we do it same day, preferably weekend as I don't reside in Lagos, except otherwise by you, meaning I may schedule my leave then if possible. But let's wait for the bulletin.

PEACE!

faithman2020: Surprised,you also pay energy bills.But you will make up for it within a week if your spouse is working.people are always busy.your kids schooling are free still after12th grade.

Very very. Converting it to naira, it's way way huge. Is it already furnished?

Daudsmart: Good day mates. My CN is 6*** current for November. But forms sent september 1 and they reeplied on sept13 that it was recvd and wud be included in my case file. Pls hope I dint submt late considering the fact that I'm current in November and I sent d form by september? thanks.

I cannot categorically say if you are late or not. But what I know is that the number of applicants to be interviewed in the month of November have already been scheduled. Basically, cases are attended to in the order in which they were received. Just hold on for your 2NL, if it doesn't comes out when folks who are current for November starts receiving their 2NL, just put a call through to KCC.

PEACE!

westcodes: Like I said, they'll release it in a few days anyways. Let's just keep our fingers crossed folks!

Kk.

westcodes: The cut offs are available to KCC before it's posted on the website, you can call to ask and they usually tell people if the information is available to them. Just a few more days before it's officially released, you can wait for official confirmation.

So they gave you all these info when you called them? I am not doubting you anyway, but I prefer to wait for the site. Thanks for the info anyway.

VisaOfficer: To the person whose 2013 Diversity Visa was stolen: please e-mail us to set up an appointment. We may be able to issue a transportation letter, but we need to talk to you in person. Thanks!

Wow! You are just too awesome.

faithman2020: If you are interested in SAP (Business Intelligence and Business warehousing), let me know. I might be able to use my 2 years experince to guild you.

[color=#006600]

Elders in house,I need urgent help on training the above and other IT training.

I am interested. How do we go about it?

XYZZ: House, how do one pay the visa fees, is it cash in naira or $ ? Or POS?

You pay the visa fee by cash on the day of your interview. You either pay in dollars which is $330 or the naira equivalent @ N165 to $1.

PEACE!

For one month? Oh boy e!

komakan: pls, what does 13000 for Africa stand for? I mean for November Dv Bulletin. Thanks.

It means the whole of Africa, persons whose CN falls within 13,000 are current for November, Except: Egypt-7,300; Ethiopia-7,300;Nigeria-7,500.

PEACE!

G2Glory: Thank you for that piece of information but i need clarification on the statement"photocopy' of all documents. Does it include the police report which i presume should be a confidential.

For the spouse of principal applicant: My birth certificate was issued by local govt in mid 70's & just to find out if i need to do the NPC one.

My spouse (principal applicant) already obtained the one from NPC & need to know if it's a must that i get the NPC birth certificate as well.

For me, I'd advice you get your NPC birth certificate. I did for both my spouse and I for 6k in Benin @ 3k each. It's not much of a financial burden for one extra one. This is just to be on the safe side to avoid any eventualities o. Then about this '92 stuff, I don't know about it.

prosperadewunmi: my E-family,God bless u for all the fantastic information u av been providing 4 me especially,thanks so mush.Pls I need advise on this case I av 4 credit and one distinction in my waec bt excluding english language and I have 4 credit in my NECO GCE including English and maths I av the original certificate of the 2 result.bt in my waec,the date of birth is different 4rm the one on my passport and all my document ,I also av my ND certificate.I just collect the waec certificate few weeks ago pls what can I do

Some time ago, a question was raised almost similar to yours in www.nairaland.com/1359935/u.s-consular-officer-ask-me thread, below was the visaofficer's response:
Good morning! We do recognize NECO results. Applicants must have 5 scores of 5 or better in 5 different subjects on the WAEC, SSCE, NECO, or NABTEB certified exams; or they can qualify with a BSC degree, HND, or OND from an accredited university or polytechnic institution. The WAEC or NECO subjects must be academic subjects (for instance, English, biology, math, etc.). Trade subjects, such as plumbing or garment making, do not count for the DV program. We really, really like it when applicants bring scratch cards so we can verify their results. smiley Good luck!

Dmo4real: check ur mail

I have replied.

Ormania: To check if your CN is current or not follow the monthly publications of the visa bulletin at http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html
hope it helped....

currently Africa is at 7,500 while NIGERIA,ETHIOPIA & EGYPT are at 5,000...

No that's for October. For November, Africa is 13,000 while Nigeria is 7,500.

Dmo4real: pls can i av ur digit, i mean ur number cs there ar lot of question running on ma mind

Sorry unfortunately, the rule in this thread will not permit me to share my contacts here. However, I will PM you, you will get my email address there and we can start from there. However, I shared my number on DV2013 thread sometime ago, if you can read my previous posts, you may still find it there, if it's not been hidden by the moderators here.

PEACE!

G2Glory: :

For children below 14 years. The consultation fee is 7k. Anybody above 14 years pay 12K as consultation fee.

The children that we paid 31K was close to 2 years while those one 5-8 years we paid 6,500 naira for vaccination (we went there wit their immunization records). For adult we paid 2k for vaccination.

Ensure you go there with photocopy of your biodata page(all of you), photocopy of medical records & 2 passport photographs & be ready to pay your consultation fee at Zenith bank (Awolowo Rd branch, opposite barrack) is very close. Please ensure your run copies of your medical records to save time.

Please prepare to spend sometime there as it might be challeging at times with those people there, !!!!!!lol!!!!!!!!. We got there as early as 6am & not allowed to drive bc they inform that they start attending to people by 8am but it cools & they allow us in later.

We are unable to use POS that day & we got to make payment for consultation fee at Zenith bank, other payment is made there.

Do not forget to register your name as you enter because you will be attended to based on that list.

God bless us ALL IJN.

Beautiful piece.

Dmo4real: Pls, abt d police or no police report i dnt knw hw true is it bt i learnt dat we can also obtain it from our local police station or is it compulsory we get it from their headquater.

jollyiwin: +am doing mine in my state CID.thats what many did and there where no complains.

Plus, you will be made to pay extra. Confirm that please. I think since the police report just takes a day(as matter of fact hours) to process and collect, you can do that when you come to Lagos to do your medicals as it's only in Lagos you can do that. When you come do your medicals at The Children's Practice, the police is not far from there. Most folks in DV2013 did same, I see no point in rushing over it and incurring more cost. What say you e-family?

PEACE!

femishow2005: Hello my e-family.Happy Sunday to y'all.Hope we're all preparing for our interview day.Soon we all shall come and testify here IJN. Someday we'll all be thanking God in US of A for what he has done ...faith works wonder

Yes. I am preparing well. I am meticulously getting documents and credentials arranged. And God has really been opening my eyes to note some red flags that needs rectifications. So it's being awesome so far and waiting to be current by December.
PEACE

3rd eye: A friend registered for d lottery last year but misplaced her printout...if she wanna check if she's won, is there another way around it pls?

Bossforeva: hahaha..Seun will kill person..oh! I've never heard of this Word in my life before and cn't imagine myself saying that.. Was that a Robot that changed it or something that resembled Desktop..plz i typed an lmbecile NOT an slowpoke..Bravo! Nairalanders am really enjoying this E-Country

Type 'Bloody s h i t.' that is the last word should just be a single word, without spaces and see what it would change to. Bloody shit.

Edimop don jet out yesterday o.

principo: Got to d embassy before 6a.m.almost started the day on a worried note as my daughter started having a runny stomach.very worried but God took control.screening started by 6:15.no handsets,powder,comb,charger,spoon,baby food,water,or any form of makeup at all is allowed.if any is found on u,look for where to keep it n join the queue all over again.screened in three places b4 entering the hall.at the 3rd stage,u might have to give up your belt.i had to take off my wristwatch n put it in my bag but still wasn't allowed to go in because there were two blades in my purse.found one but couldn't find the other n was held up.i.had to keep apologizing,at the end they let me go despite not being able to detect where it is.finally got in,n my husband went to pay for the visa fees,218 for 4ppl.then he was called to window 21 for documentation.windows 13,14&15 were opened for immigrants.window 13,the dreaded white co i have read of from 2013thread,window 14 the black angel,n 15 a white man.after about 30 mins,my husband and i noticed the white co in 13had our forms with her.not too long ,our number flashed.we went to her full of smiles,n she was full of smiles in return.very
friendly.the following dialogue ensued:co-good morning.us-good morning,how was your night?replied.co then asked 3ques n that was all.1-highest qualification,present employment,how long have you guys been married?asked me to help fill some info we left unfilled in the children's form.congratulated us n didn't even bother to ask for the pics.visa to b collected next week.sorry for the epistle.

Congrats, we key into this. This is not epistle. We like it more detailed. Thanks.

Boomshakar: Good morning house please already i have
birth
certificate from the local government
council of my state. Please I want to know
if it is still necessary/compulsory to get
the one from NPC. Thanks

Yes it is both necessary/compulsory to get the NPC to be on the safe side. NPC is just 3000 in Benin City, other places could be cheaper or higher. But overall, it shouldn't cost you more than 5k. So it's not too expensive to get it as far as I am concerned o. Just prepare safely, don't look at the cost implications at times, cos this is an opportunity offered to you on a platter of gold.

femishow2005: US Govt Officially Shutdown...I hope this will not affect embassies and consulate in diaspora. Esp here in naija #justthinkingtho

Words from the Visa Officer:
So far all Embassies and Consulates are still open and operational, no changes. I doubt we would ever close an overseas post due to a government shutdown, but if it looks like that might happen, I promise to let you all know!

Upcoming month's visa bulletin: November 2013 (Coming Soon).....

Waiting to be current. Hopefully December. CN: 88**
