drumma: Thanks jare @obama cos I don't begin wonder so try I started doing some Google research immediately but for some doubting thomase' lemme seal it up with this question...... Is ur waec certificate classified as a degree? I meaning do you earn degrees in high school...... I think that shld pretty much answer that educational level question for pending applicants...... Still correct me if I'm wrong ooo nairaland is my university ooo nd i dont foresee any graduation soon.....

@drumma@obama; pls dnt be confused, its high school WITH degree for O'level holder. There's a provision for Bsc wit degree there. If you choose WITHOUT degree dat mins u ar fillin in under work experience. Pls read dis from d site :You must have a minimum of a high school diploma reflecting the completion of a full course of study (vocation schools or equivalency degrees are not acceptable) or be a skilled worker in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience to qualify (visit http://online.onetcenter.org/ {this link will open in a new window} to see if your occupation qualifies) for a Diversity Visa......since d criteria for dv is either O'level or Work experience therefore, a high school diploma reflectin the completion of a full course of study is ur o'level... While dat witout degree is witout o'level. Der's provision for Bsc, Masters and all oda in d form. Pls n pls take note!!! Thanks !!!

wild child: highest level of education...i only have my ssce result and am in my final year...what should i pick? high school with degree or high school no degree...some pls help

drumma: @packaging thanks for your advise but my concern is that the lasu stuffs is supposed to be 5yrs and i still have one more year to go that's if they eventually let us off the hook..... I was actually hoping to just use High school no degree in the educational section but won't they be wondering what a 27yr old guy is doing with just an high school cert in the application ? I'll appreciate any further clarifications....

@drumma u haf said it all, d probab of lettin off the hook mst b cwiozly considad,; am also in ma 4th yr in Sch bt wudnt fill dat i gat my B.tech yet because of unforseen situation(i.e strike actions)... Its advisable to fill in wit d certificate u haf @ hand.( Remember d sayin dat a cash in hand is beta dan dat in xpectation). U dnt haf to worry abt the age tin, a family frnd aged 50above gat his visa based on high school wit degree... Evn as a mata of fact fillin BSc is nt an added advantage since it random selection and even @ interview u'll haf to tender all cert qualifyin ya cert wit Bsc related qu. So i'll advice wil stick to HIGH SCHOOL WITH DEGREE..... Thanks

Now my question is what do u fill in under my education and do I need to include my work experience as a travel professional even though my Iata cert is recognized world wide..... Pls id appreciate your help @justwise @tammy and the rest

ahmedgafar7: Me and my mum wants to apply separately and she is going to list me as her child..is this above the law

WHAT FAMILY MEMBERS MUST I INCLUDE ON MY E-DV ENTRY?
On your entry you must list your spouse (husband or wife) and all living unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of whether or not they are living with you or intend to accompany or follow to join you should you immigrate to the United States. You must list your spouse even if you are currently separated from him/her, unless you are legally separated (i.e., there is a written agreement recognized by a court or a court order). If you are legally separated or divorced, you do not need to list your former spouse. You must list ALL your living children who are unmarried and under 21 years of age at the time of your initial E- DV entry, whether they are your natural children, your spouse’s children, or children you have formally adopted in accordance with the laws of your country, unless such child is already a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident. List all children under 21 years of age at the time of your electronic entry, even if they no longer reside with you or you do not intend for them to immigrate under the DV program. You are not required to list children who are already U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents.
The fact that you have listed family members on your entry does not mean that they must travel with you. They may choose to remain behind. However, if you include an eligible dependent on your visa application forms that you failed to include on your original entry, your case will be disqualified. This only applies to those who were family members at the time the original application was submitted, not those acquired at a later date. Your spouse may still submit a separate entry, even though he or she is listed on your entry, as long as both entries include details on all dependents in your family.
