docbunmi: Thanks everyone. We had a 7am appt and got der @ abt 6am. We were third in line but I had to go back to drop my baby's milk and water outside cos its not alloweD. We went thru all d security checks and by d time we entered d interview hall, it was 7:11am. We paid N163,500 for d 3 of us and after abt 15mins a Nigerian woman called us @ window 13 and asked for my hubby's educational papers, our marriage cert and birth certs and police report. We were already told to open d sealed medical reports @ d gate before entering. Anyway, at this point we had a bit of issue wit my hubby's neco, d original was not in d package! Instead we packed a color copy dat looks just like d original! See shock and confusion,we asked to go get a scratch card outside but we were refused dat we cnt go outside again. Anyways we offered up some prayers and waited. Then d CO came and we were d first pple attended to
CO: good morning
WE: good morning
CO: asked for d payment slip and told us to sign and take d oath. Here, my baby was babbling and I told d CO dat "see, my baby is taking d oath too" and everyone laughed. From dat moment, it was smiles and jokes galore
CO: asked my hubby who played d lottery for him and my hubby said I did it for him and she asked me if dat was true and I agreed and went further to tell her d date I played it. She then asked my hubby wat he does for a living and asked him to explain exactly wat he does. She then asked wen we met and my husband and I told her d story, completing each odas sentences and she was just smiling. She assked wat job I do and I told her I am a doc and specialize in family med. She asked if we had pics and we showed her our wedding photo book and she loved d yoruba attire of d engagement. While, we were still flipping thru d album, she printed out a white paper and circled d first addy and said " dats fine, ur daughter is lucky to have parents so in love like u guys.congrats and welcome to america, go pick ur passports and visa nxt wk @ d circled addy. We said thanks, smiling and as we turned to leave, my baby picked up d black phone to put it in her mouth and d lady started talking baby talk to her dat even d pple waiting were laughing with us
The lesson here is dat though we had some scary moments, we kept our heads and were positive.
Success to everyone else too
Ire na akari o

Congratulations!!!

This place is indeed God's own country.Every where is just shining with lots of lights.Many thanks to all forumite..

ojisalara: hey Guys, Good Morning to you all,
I wanted to find out if anyone sent His/Her application without writing his/her case number on all document was invited for interview as I just found out I sent mine last week without writing on all the document.

Thanks Guys

Best Regards

I didn't write on mine... I noticed this after I sent my form(DSP-122 & DS-230) separately in the month of June/July. So I called kcc and I was told not to worry, my case will be fine.

To God be the got my 2NL, I did my interview yesterday and it was successful

My dear bro/sis, cool down for Jesus... He will surely perfect what he started

temmytanny: Thank you,atleast those that want to combine two diff results(NECO & WAEC)can do so with ease. Not everything or advice you hear on this site is true.Dig deep,make your research and i bet you wont lack anything before your interview.All the best to those yet to do their interview

That's the point big bro! I really appreciate the advice you gave me first day I join this forum and your impact towards this great house to achieve our dreams.

Kudos to you and I pray, may the good God continue grant your heart desire!

ferdimako: So ur WAEC has Mathematics credit?

Yes bro, but english was canceled

jbmohd: Saddy pls can I ve ur mobile phone number.

08085081314

Godhelpmeooo: @saddy101 i av questions 2 ask pls,did u combine result(neco & waec),is olevel ur highest level,lastly ar u qualified through ur work experience or education cos d co asked abt ur work and nothing about ur academy,thanks.GLORY!!!!!!!

Yes bro! I combine neco & waec ofwhich, I have my ND statement of result with me but didn't submit it. Reason: Is not included on the form I sent.
Secondly, Only God knows... She just decide to ask me question base on my work after going through my 2 cert (neco & weac). In addition, I filled only neco as my highest qualification but I scored D7 in mathematics with other 6credit, so I added my waec cert to be on safe side

My interview experience!
I got to the embassy around 5:25am after waiting for some for some hour full of fear, a young man came and call and call us to form a queue, immigrant and non-immigrant. Then I submitted my appointment letter and security check stuff... I proceed to the embassy to make payments (#54,500) and I also submitted my original doc (Medical result, NECO and WAEC cert plus NPC birth cert). After waiting for several hour, I was called to window 13 and this black lady American welcome me with smiles and me sef open my 32 teeth thumb print and oath thingy follow!

Interview...

CO - Tell me about your work
ME - I did... In brief
CO - Are you married?
ME - No
CO - Congratulations your visa has been approved and she return my original doc and gave me a paper "go to this circle address to pick your visa!" Dear forumitte, that was it... filled with joy and I give God all the glory. Thanks to you all

Spoondar: Loving heavenly father,You know all his/her worries and fears regarding this interview! You are a most loving heavenly father and You understand his/her innermost feelings!Yes Lord! He/she is so nervous thinking about the outcome of this interview. You know his/her limitations Lord, but Your word says that Your strength is enough in our times of weakness. We admit that we have no wisdom or knowledge of our own. But we have confidence that we can do every thing through Christ who strengthen us. He/she does not know what is in store for him/her but he/she knows that his/her future is in the hands of Lord of Lords, Who has made him/her. So Lord be with him/her and help him/her to find grace in the sight of the eyes of the consular officer. He/she need not be afraid of men because he/she has the Lord Almighty beside him/her. Please go before him/her and let him/her answer the questions boldly and intelligently. Please remove all the unwanted fears and worries and fill him/her with courage. Let him/her never be put to the shame. I thank You Lord for listening to his/her supplications and filling him/her with Your peace. In Jesus' name I pray.Amen.

The VISA is yours go for it

Gbabe 2: Good afternoon peeps.I am really thankful to you guys.I must confess u guys are doing a great job.@Kemzone,Adesojiaderemi,temmytamy,gentiger and everyone you are all wonderful people.
I had my interview this morning around 9.15am to 9.19am and it was a pleasant experience and divine favor of God at work.
We (0i and my wife)got to the emabassy around 6.30 am.
We followed their normal security checks and the routine.
Next thing i paid in dollars though i had alternative of over 130k in naira in case she has issues with the dollars i presented.Well no issue,we proceeded to another that collected all our documents (NPC,Marriage cert,my bsc,Hnd Ond and Waec certificates,Police Report and Medicals.I presented the other certifications which includes my ACCA Cert,CIA Cert,CrFA cert and CISA certificates but she didnt collect any of except the required ones)
About 35minutes after a black american lady showed at the window 13 and started the interview for the immigrants.Later another CO showed at the window 16 before a white blonde girl later showed up at window 15 respectively.
Enough people had issues with the currency and visa fee payment and i had to extend a good gesture to a family like that.I am so sure they visited this great forum for once.
The black american gave a family of three visas and 3 individuals as well.She was so friendly that all prayers then was that God let us have our interview with this young lady.Obviously,it didnt cost the lady anything to grant everybody that came to her visas.I must tell you,you guys must just pray she is not on holidays when its your turn (just kidding)
Exactly 9.15am she called us to her window.
Me and Wife : Good mnorning.How was nite
CO:Fine thank you (with a charming smile)
CO:You are here because you won a lottery
Me and Wife:yes
CO:Do u promise to say the truth and just the truth
Me and Wife:Yes we do
CO:Your finger prints
Me and Wife:We did it.
CO:You have a Bsc
I:Yes i do
CO:Have u travelled outside nigeria before
I:No
CO:Where do you work and what do you work as?
I:I Told her my place of work and dat i do work as an internal auditor
CO:To my wife.What do u do
My wife:am still looking for job
CO:Are u guys married
I:YES
CO:Any pictures
I:YES
CO:Can i see them
I:I brought the album out and we flipped from beginning till the end.
CO:Congratulations you should go to this address next Wednesday to pick up with that radiant and charming smile again
Me and Wife:Thank you so much and enjoy your stay in Nigeria.
CO:Thank you i try my best.
Folks that was all.It was like a chat all through.
Really grateful to God and all u guys here.U are all doing a great job here.Kudos.
Lessons learn t.Pray to God and dont fidget.Prepare your documents and commit the rest to Gods hand.We are all going to be successful IJN.Again i greeted almost all the staffs i came across including the security guys there.its not necessary but trust me you might need them later and you don't need any embarrassment or delay whatsoever.
Have a blessed and favourable interview.
Cheers

To God be the glory... Congrats!

tinubaby: Hi guys. just want to know if theres any specification on the passport to be taken to the embassy or you can just take a normal kind of passport picture.

The passport photographs size required is "2x2 or 50x50mm"

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

Congratulations bro!

i arrived lagos u.s. embassy at exactly 10mins to 6am. when it was 6:30am,a guy came to announce that all non-immigrant for 6:30am interview should queue up. shortly,the guy then came to announce for 7:00am interview for immigrant category in which i belong. lucky enough, i was the first person in the immigrant queue category. after all thier series of announcement ranging from opening the medical envelope,what not to enter in with and series of security checks,i was finally ushered in. note, while you move from one point to another, make sure you secure all tally number given to you. after paying the 330dollar which was 54500naira,i was called to submit all my credentials. i submitted all i came with and the lady took just the needed ones e.g nysc cert, degree cert, neco cert, npc birth cert,epassport,three passport photo,one photocopy for each credentials and also the police and medical report. in summary, interview started after waiting for like 1hr 50mins. i was the first to be interview today in the immigrant category.
