Thanks

Kunlexymoore: First of all, I want to thank God for His faithfulness towards my family. My wife (Shewen4God)won the visa we both played as singles a week to our wedding. When the result came out, we needed to be sure she could add the rest of the family (we had a one month old baby then) to it, so we sent a mail to KCC which they replied in the affirmative. Then the journey began. We sent the forms to KCC including our marriage certificate, our daughters birth certificate and the likes as requested by them. We then started going through a number of forums online (including Nairaland)to learn especially from people in similar situations as ours (played as singles but later got married). A particular nairalanders testimony (Imcool) is worthy of note and really encouraged us likewise many others.

Now to the testimony. Our interview was yesterday. We had a 10am appointment so we got there at about 8am. We were asked to wait under the tree till about 9:30am for immigrants call-up. We knew we had a challenge of how to feed our 1 year old baby since we were not allowed to go in with liquids. That was later sorted out as we had to drop the baby's bag with someone after the third attempts when we were called to line up by 9:30am. We went through the normal security checks and were given an initial tally number and my wife (the primary applicant was given a form to fill). We were later led through another security checks (airport style) into the main hall after handing another tag to us. We later went to pay at window 22 and then my wife's name was called at Windows 17 where we submitted our documents. My own credentials were not asked for at all (other than my medical report, police report and birth certificate) except my wife's since she was the primary applicant. Close to two hours later, our number beeped on Window 13 (the nicest of them all I believe and a bit elderly). Window 16 was shut "
'permanently'. The interview lasted just a little above 10mins. Though he asked a number of questions, they were straightforward questions. Our interview experience went like this:

CO: (Addressing the two of us) Raise your hands and swear that you are going to say nothing but the truth
Both of us: Yes we will!
Then we did the fingerprint stuff.
CO: (Talking to my wife) You give the baby (who was already sleeping - interceeding for us ) to your husband.
I was asked to sit somewhere. The good thing was my wife was audible enough as requested by the CO so I had an idea of the questions asked.
CO: Why do you want to go to America?
Wife (Shewen4God): I like to go to America to learn new things, contribute my quota and also help people; which I love doing.
CO: What are you doing presently?
Wife: Since I stopped work due to the marriage policy of our company, I focused on and concluded my MBA programme last year and since then I've been looking for job while learning some new trades like hairmaking and beads making
CO: What's your highest qualification?
Wife: I wrote PGD on the form sent to KCC but I now have my MBA
CO: Where did you meet your husband?
Wife: We met in my former office in 2009. We were colleagues.
CO: Did you play the lottery together?
Wife: No, we played separately as singles since we were not married then
CO: Where did you spend your honeymoon?
Wife: Ghana
Co: Oh I've not been to Ghana before
Wife: It's a nice place
CO: How long did you spend there?
Wife: 4days
CO: What other places has your husband been to?
Wife: Dubai
CO: For official purpose?
Wife: No, for vacation
CO: Has your husband married before and does he have other children other than your daughter?
Wife: No
Co: What about you?
Wife: No
CO: Please call your husband and have a seat

I took my turn and he confirmed the questions he asked my wife and few other ones from me
CO: How did you meet your wife?
Me: Met her through another colleague in her office and chatted her up
Co: Did you play the lottery as well?
Me: Yes I did. I did not win but my wife won
CO: Did you play it together?
Me: No we played separately
CO: Do you have some pictures of your wedding?
Me: Yes I do and brought out our wedding album and started opening the album
CO: Who is this? Where was it conducted? Is it a church? Where are your parents and hers?
Me: I answered him (Methodist Church) and showed him our parents picture
CO: Who made this album (Photobook)?
Me: My friend, he's a photographer
CO: Its nice
Me: Thank you sir
CO: What do you do where you work (bank)?
Me: Public Sector Department and described what we do

The CO then brought out two white sheet of paper and asked that I call my wife, which I did. He circled an address and asked that we pick up our visas next friday. We were so happy and my wife even shouted "God bless America" out of excitement and people sitting down had a good laugh. We bless God for His faithfulness from the beginning of this journey till now. Truly, like we say here....God is involved! We also like to thank good people in this forum who shared their testimonies, gave us wonderful advices and insights as regarding the various stages of processing. It made our job easy. Gentiger, Imcool, Demolang, Temmytanny, Godhelpmeoo, Neroxp (used your testimony as a prayer point), Spoonder, Jamaicanlady, Odunmanuel, Mercy 2013, Chuk 87, Kevwe_flex, Roodboy, Junkerhill and many of you guys too numerous to mention. Welldone and I say God bless you. See you @ the top!

nereiskc: Good day my good people, pls I need clarity of Nos 39 of DS 230 form II, I don't understand what they mean by Name and address of petitioner.

missbelle: My God has cracked a coconut with a stone....vis approved...details coming up,

Congrats for the coconut being cracked. Pls share ASAP!

pjogutum1: d citizen: Hi, should i sign the dsp 230 form 2, the affidavit side bf submission becos i read in the section dat the consular will assist me? Thanks

@jamicanlady: Do not sign it now. U'll sign it before the CO on the day of ur interview



Please let us be guided in answering questions here, if you are not sure instead of giving someone a wrong answer go back and research or read the DV instruction, or instructions on the DS 122 and 230. The DS 230 form contains four (4) pages, at the end of the second page (2) you are expected to sign your form while the fourth page (4) is to be signed before the CO probably to confirm that, the first signature is yours. Saying one should not sign the form is not correct please kindly be guided accordingly.

pjogutum1: TWO KINDS OF NPC BIRTH CERTIFICATE. Please take note:

@Kevwe_flex, My brother the birth certificate specimen you posted on this thread is for children not for adults, we have two kinds of birth certificate issued by the National Population Commission (NPC)
1. The first one is called birth certificate for (minors) children between 0 and 17 years.
2. The second one is called birth attestation given to (adults) from 18 years and above. The birth attestation carries your passport stamped at the down 2/3 sector while the spill runs over to the form, the form is an A4 size form.

rood boy: You can use anyone buh dere is a diff wey u can send it wld not cost u much buh I sent mine tru UPS nd I track ma doc till it land to US...UPS cost me (13.950) gud luck.

rood boy: @ kevwe flex: any wey mine is quit diff to urs sha buh where did u do urs? I means, which state?

kaygee1977: Hi Kevwe, I am a bit confused here...I was not given a long birth certificate. I was given Birth Attestation Letter...Please, guide me. Is this what I am supposed to be given? I was born in the year 1977. Please, explain to me because I am worried now.

junkerhill: Make sure you sign the forms before sending them or they wont be attended to. I failed to sign part 1 of the ds 230 and I was sent a mail by kcc, asking me to download another form, fill, sign and send. It cost me extra money and also delayed my 2NL.

maasoap: Hello house, I have contacted about 3 nairalanders about my case but no headway yet. So I decided to throw it to the full house, and your timely contribution will be appreciated.
Experts in the house: my concern is that I applied for DV2014 as a married, and I also applied for my wife as a married. I didn't win but my wife won. The problem is that I registered for her using her maiden name as her last name. It was my idea that she should keep her maiden name as her last name since she was still searching job to make it easy for her during job interviews. I haven't sent our forms to KCC but can I stick to using her maiden name for her as her last name? I don't want to even go for affidavit of change of name now so as not to make it looks suspicious. But my worry is that can we scale through as couples using different family names? What is our chances? Can we really convince them? Because l don't think my wife is ready to go without me.
We have a daughter but I don't want to include her for now, she won't go with us for convenience and partly due to financial constraints. Any advice on these two issues. We married in 2011 and our daughter is a year old this month. We haven't gone to registry yet, only religion aspect done. No intl passports yet. We haven't sent our forms yet, still waiting for best advice. (Can my wife go alone as single so as not to waste it all together?) Any other question will be answered if you ask.
Thanks.

pjogutum1: @house please if you are current begin to check for 2NL it has Landed like helicopter Gbam! I am holding my own now first week of July, though they did not include my daughter’s name who was delivered by March, but that is no problem. Congratulations to all of you out there.

adeniyisavage: the first point is invalid....up to 100,000 winners are normally selected,this year that rose to 120,000.any shortfall will be mopped up by the extra 25,000

my afraid,KCC has more than enough winners to utilize the available visas.no more draws ever.

pjogutum1: Seguneji: @ Yusmash00, how much does it cost to send your form thur EMS and how long did it take before it got to KCC
@ pjogutum1, is it my passport i shld send or my forms

if you can send both i will do it for you. its free thats my own contribution and encouragement to you, if you are located in PH i would have asked you to come to my office

rood boy: @ kevwe flex: if I may ask, u said, u did urs #100 only @ where? I don't think the one u r talkin abt is NPC cert..


@ kaygee1977: NPC @ Babe animashaun is 3k broz. I did mine dere 4 3k also.

rood boy: The photo av 2 be (2 by 2) white back grand...nd make sure u write ur case no @ the right side up n the from, al the 6page (shikena)
