folaonhigh: will your medical not expire? Please travel end of october- suggestion. Affidavit of support not needed. When u get to the airport give them your new address. Other question let other contribute.

Thanks my guy.

Hi my people, I need your opinion on these issues as quickly as possible.
1. My wife is the principal applicant. My International Passport will expire on the 23rd of December. My interview is on the 21st of May but I intend travelling first week in November (before the six month lapsed). However, going by the information on the US website Passport(s) valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the U.S. for you and each family member applying for a visa. [i][/i], do you advise I get another passport before my interview because obviously my passport will not be valid six month after I entered the US as stipulated on the website. But the problem is I cannot renew my passport now because renewal is done six months or less to expiry date. So what do I do?
2. My host has moved from the address he gave me earlier when filling the forms sent to KCC. He's now somewhere else but within the same city (Greensboro, North Carolina). Do I need to inform the embassy on the change of address?
3. Do we need affidavit of support from our host?

Thanking you (in advance) for your prompt response.

junkerhill: my brother, i went away to settle some issues i have with my creator.

Thats very good. We are nothing without Him. May He meet you at your point of needs and perfect all that concerns you and all of us here on this thread IJN.

Congratulations all those that won recently:@ zerzer: congrats.
g-bustop, shipsonsipe, bibloo7 and petal. May your joy be full IJN. Amen.

temmytanny: sincerely Adesoji,i dont think there is fight anywhere.If someone makes mistake let him admit and apologise,if anyone misinform the house let him correct himself and admit.We should stop dropping half baked stories here,it affect the possibility of some people getting their visa.Lets get our facts right before posting and if you arent sure,let people know.READ MY RECENT POSTS VERY WELL,AM NOT FIGHTING ANY ONE BUT TRYING COUNTER FALSE CLAIMS

Temmytanny, sincerely speaking I like ur short but rich and useful contributions on this thread but this statement u just made is capable of drawing us back again after what Adesoji has said (made peace). We are not interested in knowing if there was any false claim or not. We are all expected to verify any information we get from this forum, contributors are only dropping their opinions (no matter how it came across). So please I would like us to STOP referring to those past issues and let's move on.

My green-card jst landed now,nd sum memmbers jst got their 2NL.I jst wana congratulate we all nd pls start makin sum necessary preparations,de earlier de beta...Success to u all in Advance nd for those who were being scheduled for June,u all need not to worry cos dats ma birth month.JUNE 10th is my bufday nd u all scheduled dat same month must surely nd surely Testify in JESUS NAME,AMEN...

ferdimako: All the people with 2nl,semi congratulations..start gathering, dusting paperwork and cash. Anybody for May?

May is present here o lol but I received my 2NL last month though.

chykezworld: @all.....pls come to my aid...i hv bn hearing abt hosts issues,i don't knw it will b my lot...my host just called me dis nyt dat his houz is occupied dat i shld look for alternative place...n he has bn supportive n concerned...pls n pls i will appreciate any help or advice..i ws planning to travel nxt month

Sorry about that. But dont despair, u can check out accomodation online and secure one when u get there. Rent are paid monthly. However, that depends on how much cash u have right now. Meanwhile, still look around for anyother host anywhere in the country and u can always change ur POE. Best wishes my broda.

junkerhill: just got mine atlast. June 27th. I was hopin to travel by june bt God knows d best and He has d perfect plan for me.

Long time my broda! Where have u been?

Godhelpmeooo: guday house,pls i will like to know about how medical got expired,though am in the sates nw but my wife and kid are stil in niger,we did our medical test on march 11th,and my wife and kid are coming by to the state by august,i hope the medical is not gona espired by then.thank you all.GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are good to go! By my counts, that's still 5months (less than 6months).

[quote author=@Phumbay]Pls house can I pay 4 USCIS immigrant fee in Nigeria cos am travelin ending nxt month? Hp dias no problem if is ready b4 I go liv 4 US, pls its urgent I wanna pay nw tru master card.[/quote]Pay in Naija thru ur cards!

sozen2010: Thank you Chike, You mean my GCE notifications for 1999 & 2001 plus unscratched cards will suffice for this. I trust God but somebody just shared testimony yesterday that he was rejected because the CO didn't think the cerficate real despite the fact that he checked it online. What do you see to this, my boss has refused me travel and now SSCE exam is in progress, what is your suggestion house?

I still advise that you get your certificate to avoid the avoidable! I believe your certificate for the basic requirement (SSCE/NECO) is very key, especially when your exam was done @ least five years ago. Notification letter for other qualifications may still be acceptable....My opinion!

My People I dont know of other tribes but average Nigerian guys are hard working and only need a small push to succeed, there are lot of opportunity here (still)if you are ready to work and be focused.All other guys here can testify too.[/quote]Nice one. All glory to God. A quick one: Is it possible for every nairaland member especially on this thread, to itemise our information the way you have done it?; 1NL, forms sent to KCC,2NL date, date of interview, visa pick up, date of departure etc just as its being done on other similar threads online. This will make for quick reference especially for new comers and reduce unnecessary agitations from those who are waiting to be current and also reduce the number of questions people ask. As much as I like Nairaland, this is what I still find missing here. Is it possible to do this on nairaland? If it's possible, let's do it! Contributions are welcome. Thanks.

[quote author=adesojiaderemi@].....exactly two years today in God's own country>>>>>>>>o se BABA.[/quote]Congratulations. Can you share some of your experiences with us. Your challenges and how you summounted them. What do you do presently?

remkay2012: Hello Nairalander, our 2NL was supposed be release for the month of March hoping to do our interview in May but we are still awaiting the letter now we are waiting for June now and my wife (Principal Applicant) may deliver in the same month. What will happen if 1.She deliver the same week of interview. 2) Second week of delivery. 3)A week before interview or exactly before interview?

You can send them a mail or call them and the interview will likely be postponed (If she delivers same week or on the day of interview). A friend of mine had a similar experience two years ago.

Gentiger: Gentiger is back, fully reloaded and better informed. I have scouted around various agencies here and can guide all better. As time goes on, I'll show new immigrants how to settle down faster and get a job at the snap of the fingers. I also hope to open your eyes to the enormous business opportunities in the States. If you want to go back to school, I'll show you how without paying a penny in school fees. If you want to marry, no wahala, babes dey.

For those seeking entry visas, the guys in the house are doing a great job, which is why some of us are silent. If It's too difficult to handle, reach out and help will be on the way. I have to go back to work now. My boss is looking at me through surveillance cameras as I perform my duty hourly. Love you all. Have a great week ahead.

You've started working, that's great! What's the nature of the job and hw did u get it?

....including the challenges. Thanks.

Gentiger: Let's start with work.....this is a Very important area for new immigrants like myself. There's little or nothing you can do here without a certification or a form of licence. That include pushing a wheel barrow. America is a society that believes in professionalism and rewards hard work.

Applying for job online will keep you at come for a Very long time. Submitting CV's without evidence of American certification will keep you on the waiting queue, prompting schools who view your CV to start calling you to obtain a certification and become employable.

If you want to do security jobs, that is the most abundant job here. America is security conscious. It's the cheapest training to get and it costs less than $300. After the initial 5 days training, you are given a guard card which is your licence to work as a security official. With this you earn between $9-$12 hourly. If you want to earn more, go for more training, usually for 3 weeks and obtain your gun, baton, hand-cuff and pepper spray permits. With this you earn between $16-$20 hourly.

Just Google security training centers and take off from there if you like this career path for a start. I will tell you more on nursing, teaching, driving, schooling, etcetera. Digest this first. Love you all.

Hi Gentiger, thanks for the piece. I think I'll be needing more info on teaching. How to go about it and hw rewarding it is. Thank you.

kaypositve: I & my wife with Children had a successful interview on Wednesday 20th March, at
window 14. We thank the God of Signs and Wonder for this Interview. We arrived at d embassy around 5.30am. We made payment & submit our credentials. We latter waited for our number to be called for interview. Our number beeped we stepped forward. VERY SHORT AND PRECISE…

Gentiger: The glory, honour and praise belongs to God alone. Welcome to America. I regret my infrequency to the house. My temporal job keeps me engaged most times.

capoonyx: Hello everyone, i have been following the comments in this room for time now,though have not made one myself.. This will be my first... I am also a winner of the DV 2013 lottery, my interview was on the 18th of march,that was last week monday,it was a success, and it was just yesterday the 25th i collect my passport and a sealed envelop,which i will submitte when i arive the airport in US.... Its all looks to simple and easy, but i give God all the glory....looking forward to meeting some when we get there...happy celebrations to you all who got their visaers... Remain bless

Congratulations.

junkerhill: I know most times our curiosity will like to surface in everything that we are doing. It won't let us be till it is satisfied. There is nothing wrong in knowing how long it takes to get GC and SSN. But I still believe knowing it now won't change anything because you can't apply for it here. Your host will answer all your questions the instant you get to his house. Wish you luck as you transcend to a greater height.

I dont see anything wrong in wanting to know before you travel. It is called planning ahead!People seek to know such information for several reasons:

1.U may just want to report to America for now and come back to Naija before finally resigning from your place of work (within 6months),
2.Some also need this information if they already have a job offer before travelling(like Gentiger)

3.Some need to strategise vis a vis the money they are taking with them to know how soon they can start working so as not to be a burden to their hosts

4. Some hosts may not even be as informed as some of us here (e.g Temmytammy, adesojiaderemi etc) especially when u think of the fact that some of these processes have been reviewed recently e.g GC use to come out in 6months some years back.

[quote author=ifeanyi.abdul]Good day House,
To God be the Glory! Interview appointment was 10am today and it was successful; After going through all security checks and making necessary payments, we were called at window 20 to submit only 1 passport photograph, 1 photocopy and original of only birth certificates for 5 of us and marriage certificate. The guy at window 20 never even demanded for our academic credentials, and we wondered why?
We waited until our ticket number beeped!
CO: Good afternoon
US: Good afternoon
CO: How are you?
US: We are fine thank you, and you? He replied: very good
CO: Please do your thumb prints on the machine - we both did that
CO: Please raise your right hands and promise to .....
CO: To my wife, you are the principal applicant..... my wife answered yes
US: We remained standing with the kids for the interview. I was not asked to go and sit down with the kids

INTERVIEW PROPER
CO: What's is your highest educational qualification
My wife: Answered
CO: Do you have any document for this
My wife: She presents Original and 1 photocopy
CO: Do you have WAEC?
My wife: Yes, and presents her Original WAEC and 1 photocopy
CO: Everything is good, pulls out white paper and hands over to us!

To all members of this great forum, we remain eternally grateful. God bless you in your dreams!

Note: We had 2 birth certificates; the NPC, and the normal birth certificate for myself and my wife. The man at windows 20 looked at both, but choose the NPC. He remarked : your NPC certificate is a certified one (authenticated), and I said yes.
We prepared so hard; asked ourselves questions and even carried 2 big albums for courtship, introduction and wedding, but CO never asked us to present any album and only asked us 2 questions during the interview proper as highlighted above. We can clearly see God's favor and hands in our interview.
GENERAL ADVICE TO ALL: Please, let's not forget our God when we get to the U.S. When things are rosy, let's learn to hold on to God at such times more than when we encounter problems.[/quote]Thanks my guy. This is truly God's favour. I tap into this favour o. Best wishes as u travel with your family and thanks for the info on the police guy you supplied ealier on.

loveshowgirl1: Hello housen I want to thank you all for your prayers for it worked for me and I am very much grateful to God and you all.
I got to the embassy, at about 5:10am and waited till they called in 6.30 non-immigrant and 7.00am immigrant visas and did the normal process of document submission and got in to pay my visa fee and then I sat waiting on my number to be called.
To be honest I cannot remember the window I was called to after a couple of hours but behold it was this cute and nice gentleman that the lord sent and he started with the interview.
CO: Are you Ata......
ME: I mmediately completed my name for him and he smiled.
CO: Please sign your DSP form, did the oath taking and finger print stuff...
ME: Did all required.
CO: what's your highest qualification?
ME: BA ........
CO: What year did you finish?
ME: Told him the exact year while he was going thru as I answered each question.
CO: What have you been doing Since you graduated?
ME: Told him, couldn't get a job so I worked with my mum and eventually opened a boutique, made him understand I wore pretty much what I sell so he smiled.
CO: Have you served the NYSC?
ME: Yes I have and told him what year.
CO: What was your primary assignment about?
ME: Told him was secretary to the local government between my year of service and my duties and he smiled as usual.
CO: I will give you ur visas, brings out 2 forms circles one part for visa collection and the other for USCIS payment.
ME: Thank you.
It was not what I prepared for but what I expected and prayed for. So guys I wanna say a big thank you to you all @Spoondar, Nero XP, Gny Kelly, Remyjay, Femo, Psatadi, Remmy, Doctor, Gentiger, and all of una, really una too many to name, abeg make una nor vex but those I didn't name don't be offended I remember you all and love u guys. My interview was easy and I wish same you u all.Thanks and am still here for u all.
America here we come.
Hugggggs to u all.

Congratulations. God confirmed His words!

simayanki4real: The 5 of them applied for immigrant visa.
1) Two couples were denied for failure to prove that they had a sound relationship together.
2) A set of kids 2boys (Not DV selectees) were placed on A.P because they could not prove their relationship with their dad.
3) A guy was disqualified because the resident country in his inital EDV was Northern Ireland, and since he has never been there...was disqualified without interview.
4) A married woman was disqualified because she is married with two (2) kids but entered the EDV as single, & the forms sent to KCC as single. According to the CO, the DV rules states a married person must leave with his/her family members...so she was disqualified
5) A lady was disqualified (though not a DV selectee) for not being able to prove her relationship with her host.

Please married couples should go with enough pictures, and rehearse with your spouse everything about your marriage, dates, times & people in your photos. I noticed that married couples are scrutinized seriously, they have the longest interviews. Please prepare very well & the visa is yours!

Hmmmn.... Good observation (at least for us to learn more). Good preparation cannot be over emphasised, especially for married couples. More importantly, we trust God for His favour and we will testify on this platform as well. Thank you for the info..

ajmiry: House,... Please respond also to questions asked by members, beside congratulating each other... Please.

I already asked this question and asking one time more please answer.

When will you receive the second NL, after visa numbers which are current in Advance or upcoming month? If there is any problem in my question please let me know.

Thanks you[size=8pt][/size][size=12pt]

I think Junkerhill has answered ur question (read the thread very well please). 7 working days after u become current or the following month's bulletin date.

Godhelpmeooo: house,pls i dey with afobat2000 now and we dey argue on smthing,pls can the beneficiary go to u.s before the principal applicant.pls house enlighten us.GLORY!!!!!!!!

It's stated clearly, the beneficiaries cannot go before the principal applicant.

loveshowgirl1: Congratulations to you guys that got your visa approval today, I tap more from you guys and I know surely the God we serve will not fail us that are remaining.


I am in Lagos now and waiting on my interview which is by 7am tomorrow morning, I know you all have been praying for us all but please remember me in your prayers. I will be here to give testimony tomorrow no later than 10.30am God's grace to guide me and those being interviewed tomorrow, IJN.....AMEN

Best wishes my dear. The Lord's favour with you. Awaiting ur testimony tmao.
