victorygoodness: My brother's wife just confirm she won DV2013 today. She is 38 years old and the principal winner with a daughter and her hubby but... she only completed Junior secondary (JSS3) and droped out to learn tailoring which she practice pro and her profession now. My question now is that, how do we create academic history for her? She also plan to sit for Waec and neco external which she hope to use. Do we need to write on the form that she finished secondary school in 1984 with no waec result? Do we need to write it on the form that she is a tailor? PLEASE HELLLLPP.

aseel981: Hello, i have just seen in one reply that we should write our confirmation number on every form, i did not do that! i sent the forms to KCC in an envelop and have only put the confirmation number on the envelop. would that be enough? thanks in advance

Kemzone2003: Tosmy...This are my comments based on what is written in black and white by the US Consulate in Lagos & KCC

BASE ON YOUR WIFE'S RESULT(5 CREDIT WHICH SHE USED TO GET ADMISSION FOR NCE) SHE IS QUALIFIED SEE ANALYSIS

Base on the requirement below.All you need is a proof that you completed secondary school even if you dont have a credit with your secondary school testimonial to show that you finish secondary school.Then you can use the other result with 5 credit to complement.....

Education Credentials
Those who have successfully completed high school must take the West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations to receive their diplomas or enter a university. The examinations are scored on a scale of 1 to 9, with 1 being the best and 9 the worst. To enter a university, the applicant must have received credit (a score of 1-6) in five subjects. For diploma programs, he or she must have received 3 or 4 credits. Scores of 7 or 8 are only ordinary passes and give no credit. A score of P8 or F9 indicates failing. There is a national WAEC office in Lagos where all results can be checked to verify educational level

Required DV Qualifying Education or Work Experience
The principal diversity visa applicant must have a high school education, or its equivalent, OR two years of qualifying work experience in the last five years.

Education: Submit to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate at your interview, a certificate of completion equivalent to a U.S. diploma, school transcripts, or other evidence issued by the person or organization responsible for maintaining records, which specifies the completed course of study. The diversity visa selectee must have completed a 12-year course of elementary and secondary education in the U.S. or a comparable course of study in another country, sufficient in itself to qualify a student to apply for college admission. The following are not acceptable:

•Equivalency certificates (such as the G.E.D.) are not acceptable.
•Vocational degrees that are not considered a basis for further academic study will not be considered equivalent to U.S. high school education.

victorygoodness: hi guys.. I need to be enlightened about this crucial issue. I am a winner of DV2013 but there was a misplacement of passport during the application i.e another person's passport submitted instead of mine at cafe. I am now a single winner and I have notified kcc about this irregularity and possible corrections if I complete the immigrant forms. They replied "KCC does not have the ability to retrieve or make changes to the data that was provided on the original entry to the lottery.

Please complete the forms DS 230 Part I, DS 230 Part II, and DSP 122 with the correct information. Once received at KCC, the information will be included in your case file for review." I have also contacted U.S Embassy Lagos and they said I should contact KCC.

Guys If I go ahead with my application, will I have problem with the consular officer on my interview date or I God's favour can befall on me. I need ur advice.

monsieursam64: Please house, i have another issue that is bothering me. I read in one of the instructions for dv selectees, that interview needs to come before one's 21st birthday and that if it comes after d birthday d visa will be denied. My case number is 16***, i dont know if it will be possible for my interview to come before march 18th which is my 21st birthday. Please house i need your advice on this.

monsieursam64: @temmytanny, i'm new to dis thread, i ve read ur post nd i really need to say 'GOD BLESS U'. U ve really impacted lives. Pls o, i'm among the dv 2013 selectee, i am an undergraduate(currently in 400l, i still have 1yr to graduate). Will it affect me in anyway? Also, my case number is 2013AF00016***, pls do u have info on when my interview will b scheduled. Also, pls give me an estimate of the amount to b spent throughout d process. Pls sir, i would love to have ur phone number or email address. My email is monsieursam64@gmail.com & my phone no is 08167666310. Thank u sir.
Thanks house, you all have been fabulous with ur post.

garvins: I'm really excited because I was selected for further processing in the 2013 DV Lottery. I feel like I waited forever for the results, but good things come to those who wait.

Anyhoo.
Once I have mailed DSP 122 and DS230 to the KCC, how long is the wait until the next stage (which I guess is the visa interview)?

I'm really sorry if this question is posted somewhere else!

Oh, and if anyone has any tips/advice for me regarding the process from this point, please let me know.


Cheers!!

Congrats bro. Your interview date depends on your case number. If you can give idea of your case number we will be able to give you idea of when you will likely be called for interview. I will also encourage you to read through the DV 2012 thread you will learn so much as per the process and how to prepare for your interview.

obamaobama: @pator where did u get ur fake info even the site u past does not exist till next year before the give the overall number of winner ok check this site. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1322.html can't fine number of selettees for dv2013 and pls stop posting wrong info and fake site

tunisian_dv: hey bro,
i just want to know how did you know that the number of the selected on the dv lottery 2013 is not a big number!!!!
i don't think that you can know the number of the selected now?!!

swisstourist: hi,
i won the dv 2012 ,so last year after playing for 12 years.
no need to hurry, you have visa bulletin board which tell you when you will get your interview. can be in 1 year...this is based on your number, not first come first served.
google for visa bulletin board.
i take 3 months to fill paper, sent all to KCC in october, and got invited in feb for interview and 1 month later got my immigrant visa. you will receive an email 3-4 weeks before interview to check the lottery webpage where you will receive new instruction. so the number is very important.

you need to have a US address as well.that can be a problem if you dont know anybody there.
when u send documents to US, be sure to include an email address, if info missing they will send you an email.this happened to me because i omitted a US address.i called a friend in California and used his postal mail address. this is the physical or postal address where they will send you the green card 3 weeks after u land in the USA.you can still change the address when u arrive in the USA.

post your question here i will try to answer.Thanks for helping us bro. Looking at the fact that not much people were selected do u think interview will be faster this time around or slower? For instance my CN is around 16***. Around what time do u think I can get interview. Thanks

Beisel4real: I have been selected for 2013 DV
