femsoj: the most important thing ȋ̝̊̅§ that ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ have receive your visa,why again are ‎​U̶̲̥̅̊ bordering yourself about wat ȋ̝̊̅§ in the envelope

Gentiger: It's okay to know your background since you voluntarily disclosed. In all my years as a believer in Christ, I have seen him raise the poor from the dunghill and place him among Princes. That's about to happen in your life. You shall yet be celebrated. Through you, your family shall be sustained.

Now listen, If you are not married to the man in your life as of the moment, i'll advice you shelve the idea of marriage for now and make him join you afterwards. Most marriages after DV lottery selection is viewed as scam and difficult to prove.

If you are genuinely married, then begin your preparation now. You need lots of pictures taken together. I mean lots of it. Get an album and stack it full of pictures taken together during courtship, marriage and after marriage. If you got kids, perfect.

Ensure all your civil documents are in place. Also ensure consistency in all aspects. If you are a believer in Christ, let prayers do the remaining ones not forgetting to read thru your final year projects, final year semester courses or WAEC subjects taken at High school. I await your testimony because you'll surely testify.

Go with these to the embassy:
1. Your International Passports.
2. 3 passport photos each.
3. Birth certificates.
4. Marriage certificate.
5. Lots of pictures taken before and after marriage.
6. $330 times the number of beneficiaries.
7. Medical results.
8. Police character certificate.
9. Academic credentials
10. Find out if AOS is needed in cotonou if you'll be interviewed there.
11. Appointment letter.
12. 1NL
Let the house add anything else I omitted. Goodluck dear.

Very detailed.

[quote author=adesojiaderemi@]HAPPY THANKSGIVING, WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE REASONS TO GIVE THANKS IJN.[/quote]AMEN!!!

Ibracadabra: It all started last year. In fact it was february 2011. I was so happy when I got an email saying I had won the DV visa lottery. I went crazy with joy- screaming out my lungs in excitement- only to find out it was a SCAM email! My heart sunk and my face fell when I was told that KCC doesn't send emails and that winners are NOT chosen in february. It was emotionally traumatic. I couldn't believe SCAM people had gotten to me- and even though their mail didn't ask me to pay anything; I eventually confirmed it was a fake letter after logging in with my confirmation no.

This experience made me swear I would never apply for this visa lottery thing. I was angry with everybody- including myself and my friend in America who applied for me that year.

So- October last year, the same friend in America called me and asked for my details so he could register for me again.. But I still felt bad about d scam so I told him I wasn't interested- but he persisted and I said to him impolitely, "Shay u get my details last year- use am again"

I didn't know he even registered- and I forgot d entire gist until May 2nd when he called me screaming on d fone... I asked him what happened and he told me I won.

I couldn't believe my ears. I was like, "won what?... Did you register for me?"

That was how I won o... I immediately used DHL to send d completed forms to KCC on 6th May and they confirmed reception... I kept praying, reading and that's when I fell in love with Nairaland and this forum in particular.

I can beat my chest and say I read every single page of both the 2012 and 2013 forums and this helped me prepare perfectly for today...

I woke up today by 4 am... I got a cab and got to d embassy by 5:05am and there were 5 ppl already waiting for d embassy to open. I was happy I was early, but eventually that didn't mean I got interviewed early. There was a lot of bureaucracy, lines to follow, tags to collect, I even had to drop pay N300 to drop my fone with one mallam outside.

We were searched at least 3 times and then we moved in to wait. They collected our original and photocopies. In fact d guy that collected my credentials finished from my school... So he was very friendly- and at that moment; I remembered all d prayers u guys said for me- and I knew it was God at work. I mean: how often do u meet your alumuni at d embassy? His cheerfulness settled me mentally and I waited for d interview proper.

I was called to Window 14 and a pretty blonde was d CEO. She gave me my form to sign and took my fingerprints.

This is how it went:


CO: Swear to say d truth, d whole truth and nothing but d truth

Me- I do

CO: Congratulations on your Visa Lottery

Me- Thank You

CO- tell me about your educational background

Me- okay, where do u want me to start from? Nursery? Primary?

CO- Umm. Primary

Me- took her through my educational background

CO- Why did you study Microbiology?

Me- as a kid; I always wanted to b a scientist and we watched a lot of Discovery Channel and Crime TV- so that spurred as kids to excel in sciences

CO- (smiled when I said Crime TV), so tell me- what do u do now?

Me- I told her

CO- when u get to America, what do u wanna do?

Me- I'll further my studies and probably specialise in pharmacology

CO- Hold on one minute (she started typing)... Your Visa has been APPROVED. (She encircled an address on a white paper) next wednesday Ĝø and pick it up. Congratulations

I was smiling like an idiot and she smiled back

CO: Oh you should try modelling. I think you'd have a shot at it

Me: Thank you (my head wan burst)

CO: Oh hold on: have u been ever married

Me: No

CO: any kids?

Me- No

CO: Ok, have a nice day

That's all folks... I'm going to party tonight

Congrats once again my brother.

michymich: im so sorry guys to be the first to give a refusal news me and my wife today were refused because we were not able to defend our relationship eventhough all other documents were tight.... any options for us? we were given one year to take an action

Ibracadabra: I'm warming up for tomorrow's interview... Any final tips/reminders? Pls keep me in your prayers

Favour all the way!!!

@Seal777: long time. How's work and family?
I guess our CN is in the same range. Thirteen thousand plus? Am I right?

pgheaert: Yes I submitted a bit late. But its been over 8 weeks now that KCC confirmed to me that they have received the forms....... I guess I just have to wait.

Please, exercise a little patience. It takes KCC a minimum of 8 weeks to process forms.
Good luck.

pjogutum1: House my congrates to all those that have gone through the interview, i'm happy the way you guys answere qestions with clearifications. Please my case number is 17000+ when i am likely to get an interview? i submitted my forms and that of my faimly members by June, KCC reply that they have received the form and that it is acceptable for further processing.

Kindly watch out for the monthly visa bulletin. From there, you can get to know when your case number is current.
But in my layman opinion, you may be current in April/May. That's if you're from Nigeria.
Good luck.
