remkay2012:

@ dutmond....Thank you so much for your congratulatory message. Please, I will advise you to go with $330 visa fee for your baby and try to fill DS230 form for her with 3 passport photograph to be on safer side. I am saying this, because we have passed through this situation. Our cases are similar, the only different is that you and your wife visa was approved that very day while our own also was approved but the CO asked us to come back for our visa issuance with our baby's passport.

I wish you good luck and congratulations.

Congrats on your double blessing remkay. Meanwhile, butland is correct because I had similar case with his. Our visa was issued before we had our baby. The CO also told us then to go with our passport and come back after the baby is born but we insisted he should issue our visa first and then come back for the baby's own when he is born and he obliged. After we had the baby I sent mails to the embassy and they told us exacttly what butland said. I sent another to confirm if we would be paying for the baby visa, they said no. Because the baby will not be issued a separate visa but his passport will be joined with that of the mother. They said our case was closed as soon as our visa was issued. We will only pay for the baby's greencard processing.

Tobi henryo: @Genlion,my interview is scheduled 3rd week in july nd as for my earlier questn abt how long it takes for a new born babys visa to be processd,someone told me that it takes 3months it 2b process and considerin dt dv 2013 closes by septembr.wanna knw so I can plan ahead.thanx

Are you going to put to bed before or after your interview? If after your interview, all you need to do is to get the baby's passport, immunization record from the hospital you are using and 3 passport photograph of the baby. You will then go back to the embassy with your own visa package and they will join your passport with that of the baby. This can be done anytime after delivery and of course before Sept 30. So you don't need to wait till after 3 month.

edojariogba: Visa approved. I just came back from the embassy. Full gist shortly. Make i eat and sleep first.

Congrats bro

edojariogba: Hello house is it possible for visa to be ready 3days time? and which of the site is used to track visa?

It may be ready in 3 working days(and usually do) but they will ask you to come after 5 working days. I realized mine was ready for collection ater the 3rd day of my interview but I went a week after. So if you are not far away and not too busy you can go after 3 days.

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

You have 30 days grace to pick up your visa after which it will be returned to the Consulate

Please house can airlines allow a 2 months old baby to fly?

Please I have a question: I have a baby which will be about 2 months old at the time I will be traveling. I want to know if the airline can accept a 2 months old baby to fly.

Just got my Passport with visa and the envelope from GSS. Glory be to God. Massachusetts loading............

......and what good news have you heard about Nigeria recently? Show me a man that isn't ready to take a risk in life and I will show you a man that will never rise if he falls.

Simple truth. It is all of faith my friend.

jaspa400: i collected my pakage 2day @ Gss collection center....Glory be 2 God...maryland loading......@ pator u cn go and collect urs

Congrats Jaspa. I wanted to go there today before but I changed my mind. The place is even just 2 busst stops away from my office. I will go tomorrow. Thanks.

Please I have a concern I need to clarify. My host just raised an issue that my wife might not be able to work for several months or even years because we will be going with about 3 months old baby. His argument is that we will not be able to afford a nanny and so she has to stay at home to nurse the baby. Please experience people how true is this?

I congratulate as many that had their visa approved,new immigrants and as many of us waiting to be interviewed.¶™©.

Congrats bro. Are you a Deeper Life member? I am too. Let's connect.

kemseg2005: I am a DV 2013 winner and I have been following this thread since 2012. I must confess that you guys are wonderful and kudos to those who have made this forum a great success. Let me quickly share my interview experience which took place on June 4, 2013 (7 am appointment). We (Myself, wife & three kids) arrived the embassy at 6am in the morning and after the security check we entered the interview hall and made payment before submitting our documents.
At about 8.30am the Co in window 14 & 15 appeared. The Co in window 14 was very tough but I noticed at the end that he gave the E-passport back to those couple.

We were the third to be interview by the nice Elderly man in window 16. After the swearing and fingerprint stuff, the man asked my wife and children to find somewhere to sit becuase I am the principle winner.

CO- Pick the phone cos I want to talk to you privately
ME- Ok
CO- Good morning sir
ME- morning sir
CO- Tell me your highest level of education
ME- I told him
CO- When did you graduate and tell me your course of student
ME- I told him
CO- Did you serve
ME- Yes I did
CO- What did you do
ME- Teaching
CO- Do you have another children outside this three
ME- No
CO- Do you have another wife
ME- No
CO- What do you do for a living
ME- I am a Federal Civil Servant

At this point I was expecting the man to call my wife for questioning because we were prepared for him with loads of photographs and other documents. Surprisingly the man didn't call my wife, he just picked two white form and circled the Lekki visa collection address and congratulated me. I did not recognise Pato and Jasper 400 but I know he reffered to us being the first person to be intervied in window 16.

I wish those having their interview next week a successful interview and those waiting for their 2nd NL not to panic co's all of you will be current in Jesus nane.

Congratulations bro. We saw you with your wonderful family on that day all smile when your visa was approved. Congrats!

Thanks for always been there brother.I didn't know it is that simple. The plan was actually to have the baby over there however the interview was delayed till now. There is no way we can make it down now because we are just a few weeks to delivery day.

Please I need advice on how to go about something. My Visa was just granted yesterday, however I am expecting a baby in a few weeks from now. The CO told me when the baby is born we should come with her passport and medicals to get visa for her.
I just want to know what process I will go through. Do I have to contact KCC first and what are the forms I will fill. Please advice.

We got to the embassy around 6.20 a.m. We parked at the car park for #1,000 and then move to the U.S embassy to join the line around 6.30 a.m. I will say we were already late by then because the line was already long. Just about 4 people came after us (jaspa 400 was one of those who came after us). We went through all the protocols and in the hall we paid $990 (for my son, my wife and me). We submitted our documents and waiting for the COs to arrive. They finally started the interview around 8.30 a.m. First at 2 cubicles, (14 and 15) later another CO joined at 16. They were all male. The first 3 people that were called were all couples, 2 with children the other without children. All of them were granted visa. My family was number 4 to be called at window 14. The guy in window 14 was the youngest and seems to be tough on the first couple he interviewed. He spent almost 30 minutes with them before he granted them visa. The interview proper went this way:

CO: Good morning
Me, Wife and Son: Good morning sir
CO: Can you sign this form on the yellow line?
Me: Sure (I signed and he gave my wife her own to sign and then asked me to sign for my son)
CO: Do you swear to say the truth
Me: Yes we do
Co: Who is the principal applicant?
Me: Me
CO: What is your highest qualification?
ME: Bachelor Degree
CO: Which school
Me: O.A.U
CO: Did you serve
Me: Yes
CO: Where
ME: Benin
CO: Ok
She then turned to my wife
CO: Madam, you are expecting a baby?
Wife: Yes
CO: When are you due
Wife:XYZ
Co:O.k you will process her visa separately after delivery OR I will return your passport to you, when you have your baby you can come back and I will issue for all of you
ME:No, cant you issue for the 3 of us first and when the baby comes we will process her own separately
CO: of course I can if you want.
ME: Yes I want
Co:ok
He then brought out the white paper, circle the address and told us to go there on tuesday next week to collect the visa. He also gave us the sheet for payment of GC processing and told us to get passport and medical report for the baby and bring her after delivery. That was the whole story people. In less than 5 minutes we were done. I went with heavy albums with a lot of supporting documents, non of them were asked for.

POINT TO NOTE
1. It seems they have surplus visa left as they were not really thorough in the interview again as much as they did in the earlier stage.(My thought though). So, it is an encouragement for those with high case number it might after all be a blessing in disguise for you.
2. I went with 2 O Level results, one SSCE and one GCE same year in 1995. The SSCE has P7 in English while all other results were very good, while GCE has Credit in English with all other results also good. The guy told me both of them were fine and he advise I use the WAEC with P7 in English it doesnt matter. So, 5 credit is 5 credit not necessarily in any subject.

I thank God for everything and very grateful to this forum too. I met jaspa 400 over there I'm sure he will share his testimony soon.
2.

Ladies and gentlemen, magnify the Lord with me VISA APPROVED!!!

Kunlexymoore: 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!

Hmmm my brother, what has a beginning must surely has an end even if it is a record-breaking thread with 751 pages. This thread is gradually nearing the end of its useful life. But overall it has been great. There is no question on Dv lottery that CANNOT find all various kind of answers here. So it should be kept as a monument.

Where are the peeps that have their interviews today, we are waiting for your testimonies

Please house I want to buy dollar hope it is safe please advice me.

tolubillion: House i need ur prayer, my interview comes up nxtwk wedn. Pator and jaspa400 nxt tuesday pls pray for us O‎​º°˚˚˚°º so that we come back here to dis greatforum to share ours successful testimonies ijn (amen)

We are bound for success in Jesus name

Fellows, please how many photocopies each of the documents I am taking to the interview do I need to make. Please help.

Please where can I get good dollar notes to buy. Does anybody has an idea?

[quote author=tolubillion][/quote]

genlion: heloo house, can someone just tell me the number of days will the medical result be ready before interview

It takes 3 days for your result to be ready. They open on Saturdays but you have to be there before 8.am. Goodluck

ferdimako:

No,for a beneficiary spouse:A Passport,2 Passport photographs (am not sure of the number),Birth Cert,Marriage cert,Medicals,Police report and visa fee. For children (not up to 16):Passport,2 Passport photographs,Birth Cert,Medicals and visa fee.When above 16, you include the police report. You the principal applicant will add your educational qualifications and work experience and other details.Above all, carry bucket of pictures.

The Embassy location is not hidden,just ask when you drive into V/I.From Bonny Cantonment, it is a stone throw.

All the best in a fortnight!

Thanks very much bro. Very helpful.
