Chuck87: My interview:
Got up at 3, did some good praising and worship and prayer. Needed it
Got there at about past 5, at 6 they began the regular checks, the whole time I was singing and reminding my FATHER under my breath that it's HIS turn oh, to do what we have been talking about.
Anyways I was called at about past 10 and here is how it went
Me: good morning sir
CO: morning
CO: please sign these forms here
CO: do you swear to say the truth...
Me: I swear
CO: are you so and so?
Me: yes sir
CO: why did you apply for the programme?
Me: because I felt it offered a better opportunity for schooling and work and to further better yourself then I mumbled a bit
CO: nodding, are you travelling with your wife?
Me: wife?? I'm not married!!
CO: never been married? No kids?
Me: no, no, no
Co: have you been to the US before?
Me: yes, once
Co: what purposes?
Me: j1 visa, work and study sponsored by my school and cieee
Co: where did you stay?
Me: Montana
Co: surprised.
Co: nods. Ok. What were you doing?
Me: worked at McDonald's
Co: did you like the food?
Me: free food never tastes bad
Co: laughs.
Then I tell him about some of the places I visited. While I was talking he was returning my original documents and approving my visa
All this took less than 3 minutes oh.
Meanwhile, when I came he was the co I was trying to avoid, he turned out to be really pleasant! I give GOD all the glory cos it's not cos we deserve anything more than the other but HIS mercies!

Congratulations Chuks my broda. Welcome to America!

kaygee1977: To God be the Glory, Adoration and Praise. I am grateful for His Mercy and Grace. My visa has been approved. ..I will load up my testimony as soon as I pick up my visa. Praise the Lord with me.

Congratulations my brother. I'm so happy for u.

[quote author=raul_y]One more thing,please how much is it@kenny[/quote]The amount is N2,500 and it comes out in 2wks. The amount is higher if you want an express (faster) job.

kenny3: Good day my pple, I asked for professional advice earlier, still waiting though..pls in addition to that, is it possible for one to change destination to another state and change the address at the port of entry in the new selected state pls, that is instead of going to Georgia, the person wants to buy New York ticket, though gotten New York address of a family to stay with for receiving the green card n other docs? Tnx n God bls u all. Congrats to the new pple n more testimonies shall continue to flow in Jesus Name.
Have a blessed weekend ...

It's possible. We did that as well.

tolubillion: . Pls which flight did u booked and at wat range

I booked Delta Airline which took me straight to Atlanta (My Port of entry)before boarding another flight to my destination. It was quite expensive though (N300+ per person), perhaps because we travelled during summer and our 'destination' is not a popular one that cheap airlines like Emirate, Qatar or Turkey fly directly to. Where are u heading to?

oayombo: Please house, i need this urgent info. I have a relative that won as a single, got married and even had a child before her interview. They were all granted visas. The issue now is, i want to help them pay their green card fee and they are sceptical about case number, they have different case numbers on their visas but on the slip given to them at the embassy only a unique case number was written there. They all have different alien numbers, obviously. So my question is, which case number should they use.

Idriez is right, just a little addition; Your case no is ur AF no and its just one! However for a winner with beneficiaries i.e. spouse and children, 01 is added to the case number of the winner (principal applicant), 02 to the spouse, 03 to the 1st child, 04 to the next and on and on. Alien number shouldn't be a problem because that is written clearly on the white paper given to u 2 the embassy for each person.

Regards.

Hi my peeps. Just to intimate u guys that we (Myself, Shewen4God and our daughter) arrived America a week ago (North Carolina to be precised) and we had a safe and interesting trip. We thank God for His mercies and ur prayers as well.

We are settling in gradually. We've filed in for our SSN and we were asked to wait for a minimum of 10 days before we get it. We hope to receive both greencard and SSN before month end by His grace cos a lot of things we need to do here depends on those two items.

Lastly, this is for the ladies that won as singles i.e. played with their maiden names. You are expected to effect ur name change on ur passport in Abuja (if u already had a passport before you played)before going for ur interview so the name on ur visa can bear ur husband's name and you wouldn't have to go thru what we went through, trying to change it now in the USA. We travelled to the USCIS office within the state and we were asked to wait for the greencard to come out first after which we will fill a form for change of name and pay $300.00 for them to change the name on the greencard. You need not go thru all these.

Best wishes for those still waiting to be interviewed. Regards.

My interview was successful. I got to the embassy 4:18am, waited till 6:20 before we queue according to the type of visa and appointment time. After the security checks, we were ushered into interview hall, paid $330, tendered my credentials and waited close to 2 hours for my turn. People with kids were first attended to before adults. My interview was short and simple. I was interviewed by the handsome young guy on window 15. He was nice to me and asked me questions relating to my about my education. Below is my conversation with him:

CO: Good morning
Me: Good morning sir (with a smile)
CO: I will like to take your finger print
Me: finger print capture.
I raised my right hand and oath was administered.

CO: details of your education with date
Me: bbbbbbbbbbb
CO: Have you ever been married?
CO: any kid?
Me: No
CO: Congratulations.

He gave me two white papers, indicating where to pick up my visa and how to pay the $165.

edojariogba: Tanks@ladyboss but is the embassy collecting the two photocopies of our credentials we made?

One copy each will do. However, take an additional one each on a separate envelope in case it's needed. Best wishes.

junkerhill: would hav loved to, but mine is on thursday?

The lord go with you my brother and make every crooked way straight. Favour is yours IJN.

celinorita: Hello ALL,
Pls I need your advice. My fiance won the DV 2014 visa lottery (ie he is a selectee) as a bachelor. But, we did our traditional wedding in December last year, not yet done the white wedding though! And not planning to do it soon, finance and all.
Well! He filled the online application as a single man but he wants to include me in the selectee's information to be sent to Kentucky as his wife so we can travel together.
I am worried. Will his changed marital status affect his visa outcome?

Its a risk worth taking as long as u guys are sincere. But make sure you get married (legal marriage - either registry or recognized church) before the interview. Best wishes.

hituneu: already in progress but i would love to know how much for the medicals and police report plus the address of those places

Medicals: Less than 30k for adults and abt 38k for kids. Police report: 4k

candytos: Talking about birth certificates, are
sworn affidavits not acceptable at the DV visa interview? I av bn for a few non immigrant interviews at d American embassy with my sworn affidavit. Pls enlighten me though yet to get my 2NL.

Pls use your NPC birth certificate.

kenny3: @ Kunlexymoore. to all members, God bless u all richly. i am a new member, my interview will be in mid July, pls where can on get the NPC birth certificate from and like how much please? though i lost my birth certificate and i have been using affidavits since. pls i need your advice asap, thank you for the response and God bls u.

NPC is @ Babs Animashaun Surulere, off Bode Thomas and the amount is N2.5K. It takes 2 weeks to come out. Express (few days) is 7k. Avoid this anyway by going on time.

junkerhill: my brother thank you so much for the concern. As if you knew the exact reason why I went away. I'm thanking God for your success so far and also for the ones coming ahead. You will never miss out on anything prepared for you from heaven
I got a notification that you sent me a personal message. I couldn't read it after trying severally to. I would like to have any of your contacts; email, pin, mobile and fb. Mine is on my contact pls. I will be expecting your pls. Thanks once again for the wishes and may God bless.

Sorry for the late response Junkerhill. I've been very busy of late and couldn't visit the forum. You can contact me on my email: kunleadegbenro@yahoo.com. Feel free to ask any question especially as your interview is just less than 36 hours from now (I hope I'm correct). Best wishes my brother and I know by the grace of God, you will come back here and testify.

Husmern: hello house, is it a must 2 pick up d visa exactly d day on d leta?....thursday is my visa pick up but i'm avin exam on dt day and on friday....pls ur response. thanks

Not necessarily on dat day. You have some days grace after which it will be returned to the embassy. You can pick it next week.

mata1ng: PTA is personal travel allowance while BTA is business travel allowance and they both represent d amount of dollar u can purchase officially from the bank at the official rate.

Please note that BTA is only meant for corporate entities. Individuals can only access PTA ($4,000).

junkerhill: Phew!!!
Glad I'm back. I have missed this wonderful family for a long time. There's never been a day that passed that I'm pushed to come online and meet my brothers and sisters that I have missed for so long, but something (personal) keep pulling me back. Thank God I'm fully back to stay and God help me, I will also to give my testimony just like many others in the past.

Rooooooood Booooy
Genlion
Faithman

Those waiting to be current, I implore you to be patient and wait for it cos it must surely come.

Thank you all and may God bless.

You are welcome my guy. I definitely missed ur contributions. I could not help but ask for ur whereabouts especially at some points when the house was becoming boring and questions were posted with no answers. While I 'understood' why some people went silent perhaps because they've gotten their VISA and needed to concentrate on something else, I was particularly bothered about your disappearance shortly after u announced to us you've gotten ur 2NL and waiting for ur interview.

Anyway, thank God you are back and I wish you SUCCESS in your forthcoming interview. My guess is that you went to spend time with God as you did earlier, and my God will not disappoint you. He will show up at your point of needs! Best wishes!!!

Amefrica: Pls help me house.. I applied for 2014 dv lottery i was not chosen, so im trying to study in America on a student visa. Hope this wont affect me if im finally chosen by Oct. cuz i heard therell be anoda selection.. Pls advice

Nooo. Not @ all!

lhasky007: Yea shortly after she played as single we gt married.

That shouldn't be d issue, my wife also played as single. But it's all good. Thank God!

[quote author=tundemalik@gmai]congratulations to u and your wifffy,it can only be God,this is one of the longest interview so far in this forum[/quote]One of the longest?? I think it's the longest! Imcool's (already in the US)interview too was also long but not up to dis, but we thank God, it's victory at last!!! Once again, Congrats!

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!

Congratulations. Really tough but thank God, it's victory @ last! Did u guys marry after the results were released? (though that shouldn't be the reason for the long interview). Thank God u scaled thru. Welcome to America.

mata1ng: I thanked God for His goodness upon me and my family, the tension of over a year finally become real today. Thanks to every members of this great forum indeed it is a tutorial centre and information centre for the immigrant (EXPO). You guys are doing a great job from page 1 to 763 pages no be moi moi. God will reward you all. I have been following this thread from day 1 and it’s my turn to share my experience.
We got to the embassy @ 5.55am for 7am appointment pass through all security checks before gaining access into the hall. We were given a tag and made payment for $990 and waited for our names to be called for documentation at the window 17 and asked us to wait for our tag number to be called for the interview (I thought it was going to be a board room interview but what I saw was like a child’s play) I did not know the interview was already going on because we entered the hall a bit late due to the security check. The guy in window 14 was friendly and straight to business no waste of time he approved 5 families before we were interviewed by the nice elderly man @ window 16 who also approved 3 different families before our turn but thorough. There was a particular couple he interviewed one after the other for like 3 rounds and they were with baby but he later approved their visa, but the oga at the window 15 only interview one applicant for more than 1 hour and he asked the man to produce a particular document before 1p.m. (Please when you are seated try as much as possible to see what is going on because while we were seated we saw the positioning for the thumb print and I explain the process to my wife as this gave us some credit because the CO was just saying beautiful good till we were done). Our number beeped at window 16, we were asked to raise our hand to raise our right hand to take an oath, we did. He showed us the document sent to KCC and asked us to sign and we did. He saw us exchanging our baby who was sleeping to another to enable us complete the finger print and signing so he asked my wife to go and sit down with the baby that he has some questions for me.

Co: why did you play this lottery
Me: To enable me go to America to learn new things and give back to the Americans what I’ve learnt
Co: Do you have any relative in America
Me: Yes my host ( He checked the form and mention his name and his address) I said yes.
Co: How is he to you.
Me: A family friend.
Co: Apart from your host who else do you have in America
Me: No one
Co: Any member of your wife family in America
Me: No.
Co: Tell me about your highest level of education.
Me: When I sent the form to KCC I had OND but now I am through with my B.sc
Co: In what?
Me: Banking & Finance.
Co: How many years did complete you programe.
Me: 5 years (He wanted to raise and exception and I quickly told him it was a part time programe)
Co: Oh I see.
Me: I smiled.
Co: Do you have any other child apart from your son?
Me: No.
Co: What about your wife?
Me: No.
Co: Were you present when your wife gave birth?
Me: Yes.
Co: Where?
Me: Gbagada Lagos.
Co: I mean is it Hospital or traditional
Me: Hospital.
Co: For how long was she in the labour?
Me: We got to the hospital 6.am in the morning and she gave birth 10.pm
Co: Was it CS or normal birth?
Me: Normal birth.
Co: When was she discharged?
Me: The following day. He was amazed.
He brought out 2 paper circle the address and asked me to pick the visa next week and the other paper for visa payment.
Co: Any question.
Me: I said no sir. Before he go change his mind. He returned my original document.

Na so God do am ooo. He still dey do me like a dream.

Congratulations. Really interesting testimony. Ur experience was VERY similar to ours. We were also interviewed by the elderly man but he was in Window 13 then. We were asked similar questions too and I remember our baby was sleeping during the interview as well (though she woke up when we were about to be granted the VISA). Really amazing!!! Question: Was your wife not interviewed as well? So when are u guys planning to move? We are moving soon by His grace. Best wishes.

Regulars on this forum, where are you guys?? This forum is getting boring!!! Yeah, I know most of us are thru with our visa processing but settling down properly in a 'foreign land' is equally important. Your inputs are still very much needed here both about your experiences over there and responding to questions begging for answers here. I'll attempt to mention a few names: Adesojiaderemi, Gentiger, Temmytanny, Godhelpmeooo, Junkerhill, femsoj, Spoondar, Leripa, Honeydee, Brightmoon, Imcool, Jamaicanlady etc. Where are u guys?? Abeg show face o!
