timimoyegun: Seubis, pls were u asked of your job appointment letter?
Obatide, kevwe pls contribute

Basically, Job Appointment letter is not part of primary requirement, especially if you qualified on Educational basis, but people's style of response to the C.O's questions might prompt that request (u know C.O can use their discretion at times which they can still defend)
my advice: Dont answer what you were not asked see SEUBIS and some past interview testimonies as an example - straight answers.
I hope it helps?

Doublegold: Happy weekend friends, pls, I lost my WAEC certificate last month, now preparing to go for affidavit and police report so i can go to WAEC office and something i can be using since they wil not issue another certificate. Do u think the embassy will accept it, and it won't affect my chance?

What you need to collect is Confirmation of Result from WAEC office.
Its issued in confidental envelopes, looks like certificates and most of times, it's even more authentic than certificate.
Hope this helps?

No offense bro, its part of what makes the tread growing, at least we are all improving in learning and cutting off the exploiting touts, its my prayer that we will all have smooth interview and great testimonies.

Note: pls don't stop posting cos fear of failure or criticism is the total acceptance of failure

In addition to the response, to make it faster and cheaper, u can send complete forms as outlined by kevwe (scan as a single document after you sign them) to their e-mail KCCDV@state.gov

secret: it even allow you to av a good record of your correspondence(s) with them for reference purpose.
Hope it helps more?


kevwe_flex:

Good morning. Please give her the link to where she can download the form. She needs Adobe Reader XI to be able to fill the form on the system, save it before printing it. Then she will sign the part she has to sign i.e. Part I of the form and leave Part II. After that, she'd need to send the form as well as her passports photograph to you, so that you include it with yours before sending it to KCC via courier which you can track. Never send yours separately and hers later; disqualification.
Take care.

VisaOfficer:

Ah, sorry to have misled you! Yes, the DS-230 is still being used for Diversity Visa applicants. Sorry, I'm so used to saying "DS-260, DS-260, DS-260" these days, I forgot about this exception. You can fill out the DS-230 for the baby.

Thank you, apology wholeheartedly accepted.

I got another reply to a follow up e-mail sent to LagosIV@state.gov
it is as follows:

Dear M.. ..........,
Thank you for your email. Diversity Visa applicants are not required to fill out the DS-260. You are required to fill put DS-230 on behalf of your baby. Please visit http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html
Sincerely


so, on behalf of every member of the family, I say a big thank you for all swift responses.

My advice:
If a tread like this is not dis-continued, it will ease your work and cut totally, all touting activities.
Can you imagined that at the discovery of NAIRALAND, I have not discuss our wining with anybody and we can say we have most information needed for our success.

Dear Consular Officer, Kindly help on this:

I wrote to your office to update our birth status & below is the reply.

Thank you your inquiry regarding your diversity visa application and Congratulations on the birth of your baby.
All diversity visa interviews are handled at the Consulate in Lagos. You may attend interview with your baby with the following documents: a completed DS-260 application form, National Population Commission birth certificate, International Passport, 3 passport photos, medical report, proof of relationship and visa fee.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us any time.

Regards,

My question is this, when we attempt to fill DS-260 online, it requests for the ffg:
Enter the NVC case number located in the instructions that you received from the National Visa Center (NVC).
Enter the NVC Invoice ID Number provided to you by the NVC. The information is located in the NVC instructions you received.

these we dont have, except case number which we entered. Pls, how can we obtain the INVOICE ID Number?
Thanks ahead

Madu77: Goodmorning house. Please I need so more clarifications on this. I sent mail to KCC that the wife put to bed and kindly read the reply,
Thank you for your inquiry.

Family members not included on the initial entry may cause the case to be disqualified. Extenuating circumstances such as; you have been married or had a child after the initial application submission may be acceptable. If you meet either of these circumstances a photocopy of the marriage and/or birth certificate, along with English translations, should be provided with the completed forms. If you need to obtain additional DS 230 Parts I & II forms, you may download them at: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html .

And this is the second reply

"When a new baby is born at the interview take the following
1. Take the visa photo for it
2. Take the original birth certificate and relevant documents
3. Fill the visa application for the baby
4.Be ready to pay for the baby's visa fee."

Please can somebody help me to interprete this more because am about to send the form and passport of my new born baby girl. Thanks for your earliest reply.

I Have a similar issue like yours, you know, and this was their reply:

Thank you your inquiry regarding your diversity visa application and Congratulations on the birth of your baby.
All diversity visa interviews are handled at the Consulate in Lagos.

police report for 16years and above person, say you and wife = N6000
NPC: 2 attestation & 3 birth cert = 10000 aprox
Medical: depending on the ages of your kids, just appropriate something average based on people's testimonies on 2013 tread, im of opinion that your budget is okay
