adeadebayor: hello ma brodas and sistas in d dvlottery, I submiited my form 2day to kccdv@state.gov. Hw long can I wait to know if my submission is successful. For those want to send your form cheaply, u can follow this procedure:

1.fill d forms correctly and carefully on computer.
2.print it and append ur signature to necessary places.
3.attach ur pport to the front page of forms and scan d forms and safe in jpeg format.
4.scan ur passport also separately.
5. Instal pdf creator on ur system (it is a software o dat allows u to convert ur file to pdf).
6.print any of d scan image, when d printer window prompt to select d file u want to print just select all. At d point where u can select printer to print select pdf creator and click ok.
7. Pdf creator pop up then click on save. It will ask where u want to save, specify d location and click save.
8. Attach d pdf u just created and the passport and send to KCCDV@state.gov

This simple step wil save u 12k to 13k of sending through normal mail and is very fast. ONE LUV.

Vikktorr: Vikktorr: @Obatide and Kevwe... I just realised why I didn't feel my secondary and primary school on the DS-230 form... It's actually for higher institutions only cos there are spaces for course of study and degree/diploma... We don't get degrees in primary and secondary. So I think I'm fine.

Obatide: Kindly revisit that ur stand cos, what u have after successful completion of pry. Schl is PSLC
While for sec. Schl, it is SSCE
further, it could be OND, HND, B.SC, B.TECH, B.A, M.A, M.SC, M.PHIL, P.HD etc.
So for every level of education, there is qualification, which I think is what they required from applicant.

Pls revisit b4 getting late.

Constructive criticisms are welcome

Vikktorr: Hello house, ok I know this is a silly mistake or should I say omission. I filled my DSP-122 form completely with all my edutionally institutions listed accordingly but on the DS-230 form I only put my highest educational institution (B.Sc). Trust me I thought that part was only for the highest qualification. I feel stupid right now. Please what do guys think I should do? Will they ignore it cos It's already reflecting on the DSP-122 form? I sent my forms mid may and they have confirmed receipt.

femishow2005: hello house,am just follwin d thread..my wife's the PA here and we weren't married yet when I applied for her..pls house our case number is 863X when are likely tto b called for interview..thanks

adeadebayor: please haos can someone help me with the procedure for converting file to pdf. Your prompt response wil b highly appreciated.

lagdude: my wife did her passport online before we got married in 2008,she was captured then but wasnt issued the passport,we got married in 2011 and when i persuaded her to do another passport,she was told that she has 1 already that until that expired before she will get another 1 but at the long run that one that she snapped in 2008 was printed with 2012 as issued date with her maiden name on it. I hope there wont be any issue at the embassy due to the fact that we got married in 2011,but she has done a change of name and its been publised,we have the said published newspaper with us. @Kevwe_flex, please kindly assist on this. Thank you.

virginofafrica: i will like you to be careful with that word (May not will ) so it's a probability. Don't be confident free. Stay bless virginofafrica.

virginofafrica: Prophetic message! For all members of this treed that have not be selected , con3 october. You will have reasons to Kukere at Azonto house off Aligo junction. In jesus name. Stay bless virginofafrica.

virginofafrica: Please kween flix if you want to make a correction to my post. Please do it with respect! And don't insult me please. I said that because a friend of mine that won last year. Used just his computer training (basic) to fill the form. And now he is in new york ! Please i dont just post. Try to correct with caution. And you said am misleading people. Nairalander. What false infor have i given. And i will tell you my source. So please dont get this wrong.[/color]

Your responses are not founded. They are based on just intuitions and what you think. You don't just give outright answers to things you know nothing about just because your "uncle" did it before. Does he works at the embassy? Thank God I am not the only one that has observed it. If you read the DV 2013 thread, you will understand what I am talking about. There are ways you answer some questions you r not too sure about, you give open-end answers not saying things you think. Like getting a freedom certificate. Have you verified from O net website. That it is listed in the site, does not make it eligible, you should note that. And please like you said, quote your sources of information. I don't claim to know it all, the one I don't have clear answers to, I leave it. What are you trying to achieve here? Are u Don Jazzy? Abegi!

lhasky007: Wonder peeps d concluding part of our testimony goes thus;
When my wife was explainin ow we met she mentioned we v bin frnds on Facebook bf and we were lucky to v printed out d chats we had dating back to 2011. She showed him wen he wus askin ow we met n repeatn d question all ova. Good pipo ov nairaland the CO opened my wifes FB wall n mine, he later asked me if ds is me on a printed sheet wich my FB wall was on. I ans Yes n was stunned. Al d birthday picture n weddn pictures we posted on FB was printed out. I m not a FB person so d pix I had on FB wansnt mach tk God for my wife who posted most of d pix n she also bears my Family name on FB.

I don't knw why our interview went lik dat may b cs we were quite yung. After al d drilling n all. We were so exhausted n I was cold cos arund 4pm d hall was almst empty. I felt dy would put us on AP but to God be d glory @ about 4.30pm we were d last set of pipo in d hall jst me n my wife. Al other windows were closed d CO called us n he brought two white sheet n told us to pick d visa up. My wife hugged me with tears n I alst did d same but as a man I held it back. We were so api we jst stepped out ASAP n forgot to collect our NPC n my wifes result plus marriage cert. We went back for d docs today n picked it up.

Prayer is the key even with al docs pls focus on God. USA here we come! I and my wife cnt wait to land in Chicago. Praise God!

#God has not left the throne#

pjogutum1: Hellohouse: I and my family did our medical and police report over the weekend at Ikoyi. If not that I had extra money on me the whole show would have ended just like that without any achievement. We arrived Lagos on Thursday 6th as at 7pm and lodged in Vintage suits Adehanmi Street in Surulere and on Friday by 5:30am we left for the clinics and where the first to reach there, it rained seriously. But, for the little umbrella we took from Port Harcourt my little daughter of less than three months would have been soaked. My people, all protocol observed we started and finished the medical the same day and we paid the total sum of #124,400 (One hundred and twenty four thousand four hundred naira only)

Me: 12k +12k = 24,000 Madam: 12k +12k =24,000 My son: 12k + 22k =34,000 (the boy is 17yrs) My daughter: 7k + 35,400 = 42,400 (the girl is less than 3months old)

Imagine I went with my daughter’s immunization card oh! I don’t know what would have happened if I didn’t go with her card. We left the clinics’ about 2pm and straight to Alagbon and by 4:30 the police report was ready we paid #15k and left Alagbon at 4:45pm back to our hotel room and Saturday morning we departed to Port Harcourt. I thank God for journey mercies waiting for the medical result and the real interview now.
Congratulation to all those who got current recently we are moving gradually and I know God has perfected everything to his glory IJN.

Note: if you are a family man, please go with enough money for medical so you would not be disappointed when you are given the bill.The doctor in room 2 upstairs that handled our physical examination was rude to us; my wife had serious fallout with him. He doesn’t understand what customers focus is at all, the medical director was not around I would have reported him.

adeadebayor: it is eligible in as much as it contains maths and english.

giddadon: check their site dvlottery.state.gov its there i just checkd it out now and i pray God makes it happen 4 me cum october

ME-5yrs
CO-where did u do ur nysc
ME-Govt sec skul egberu River's state
CO-ok,i will approve ur visa,he brought out two paper one for visa collection and one for uscis payment

This is how it all went less than 5 mins,it's not by my power but by his divine and favour,Glory be to God....i also saw pator and his family.

pator: We got to the embassy around 6.20 a.m. We parked at the car park for #1,000 and then move to the U.S embassy to join the line around 6.30 a.m. I will say we were already late by then because the line was already long. Just about 4 people came after us (jaspa 400 was one of those who came after us). We went through all the protocols and in the hall we paid $990 (for my son, my wife and me). We submitted our documents and waiting for the COs to arrive. They finally started the interview around 8.30 a.m. First at 2 cubicles, (14 and 15) later another CO joined at 16. They were all male. The first 3 people that were called were all couples, 2 with children the other without children. All of them were granted visa. My family was number 4 to be called at window 14. The guy in window 14 was the youngest and seems to be tough on the first couple he interviewed. He spent almost 30 minutes with them before he granted them visa. The interview proper went this way:

CO: Good morning
Me, Wife and Son: Good morning sir
CO: Can you sign this form on the yellow line?
Me: Sure (I signed and he gave my wife her own to sign and then asked me to sign for my son)
CO: Do you swear to say the truth
Me: Yes we do
Co: Who is the principal applicant?
Me: Me
CO: What is your highest qualification?
ME: Bachelor Degree
CO: Which school
Me: O.A.U
CO: Did you serve
Me: Yes
CO: Where
ME: Benin
CO: Ok
She then turned to my wife
CO: Madam, you are expecting a baby?
Wife: Yes
CO: When are you due
Wife:XYZ
Co:O.k you will process her visa separately after delivery OR I will return your passport to you, when you have your baby you can come back and I will issue for all of you
ME:No, cant you issue for the 3 of us first and when the baby comes we will process her own separately
CO: of course I can if you want.
ME: Yes I want
Co:ok
He then brought out the white paper, circle the address and told us to go there on tuesday next week to collect the visa. He also gave us the sheet for payment of GC processing and told us to get passport and medical report for the baby and bring her after delivery. That was the whole story people. In less than 5 minutes we were done. I went with heavy albums with a lot of supporting documents, non of them were asked for.

POINT TO NOTE
1. It seems they have surplus visa left as they were not really thorough in the interview again as much as they did in the earlier stage.(My thought though). So, it is an encouragement for those with high case number it might after all be a blessing in disguise for you.
2. I went with 2 O Level results, one SSCE and one GCE same year in 1995. The SSCE has P7 in English while all other results were very good, while GCE has Credit in English with all other results also good. The guy told me both of them were fine and he advise I use the WAEC with P7 in English it doesnt matter. So, 5 credit is 5 credit not necessarily in any subject.

I thank God for everything and very grateful to this forum too. I met jaspa 400 over there I'm sure he will share his testimony soon.
