Why is it that majority of selectees make mistakes initially that they kud av avoided. Is it that we fill the edv with a 50/50 mindset only to regret lIater. Do you know how lucky we are to be chosen out of the 7m applicants. i really feel for them now i know how the numbers come down to 3000 some pple disqualify themselves immediately they get selected

jidedon2000@yah:
@Opoki if u re a risk taker u can tk it pls remember DV LOTTERY is a life time oppourtunity if u want to be among d 3000 out of 6000 dt ll benefit of getting visa in 9ja pls dont waste ur hchance @spoondar $3000 is a big money to risk lol!!
to my understanding this man is yet to send his forms to KCC please advice him well.
TravelRe: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by Spoondar(f): 8:01am On Dec 29, 2012
Gentiger: Most things in life are calculated risk. If Opoki has the cash to burn, it's okay to include his family in the forms to KCC. Miracles do happen. But to the extent I know and have researched, he's got no chances under the circumstance.

His interview letter says single and 'No beneficiaries.' Then he shows up with a wife and two grown kids at the interview. Haba!! No harm in trying Opoki but I don't give hopes I can't sustain.
This gentleman has not sent his dsp forms yet. He needs to know if he can include them before he sends to kcc. Please read his post above.

Opoki: i just dicover barely a week ago that i won, and i'm yet to send the response letter, i mean DSP.
My brother whats 3000 dolars? Just follow your heart, better send the forms with your family included and wait for a miracle if you believe. The CO is aware of all mistakes pple do you just do it and get denied the visa than living the rest of your life not knowing what could have happened if u sent the forms. Thats little money just take the risk my brother. Or your wife wil forever remind you that you are a coward. This is the voice of a mother and wife. Thank you!

Opoki: We got married in 2005,i had my first born in 2006 and my second born in 2009.
If you love your wife n the two kids and you are sure you didnt do that intentionally just send forms to kcc including them and explain yourself wen time comes afterall every case is unique. Stay close to your God! All the time.

ksjlar: Wow This is my contribution some months back that @Spoondar have quoted and I am happy it came in handy once more.
I used the third option by filling online and sending by email and I went to interview and got my visa with it so on authority, I can say you can send forms to KCC via email especially if time might not be on your side.

Thanks.
Yes i got it from a lateefdauda of Nairaland it was worth it, looking for it in all the pages to make this person comfortable!!! Thanks alot

junkerhill: @rotexy, I'm nt sure if the forms can be filled and submitted online. U can fill it online and then print it out cos and DHL it to them wit ur passport. Cos u ar stil goin to sign the form on ur day of interview. I'm nt sure if they wil print it for u wit ur passport if u fill it online.
I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong.
As i said early it is very very possible to send the photos and the forms to KCC via email. They have all the papers to print out the photos for themselves all he needs to do is attach the photos as they are from a cd or usb wherever.

rotexzy: Thanks once again.....I am currently based in Ibadan...I will welcome any help from any member of the forum....my email address is oladipovictor@hotmail.com

Then about the DOB, the guy used the wrong one for me o but he told me that I may fill in the correct one and explain to the VO @d embassy....I just hope its not a big deal sha

@house I have decided to print out,fill and submit the application with my Certified true copies of my original documents. Please you mentioned online submission to the KCC...please how do I do that as I actually thought I was going to DHL the application package to themhuh

@house....I thank you so much....God bless you all real good
The only things you are sending right now to KCC are

· DSP 122 completed for the principal applicant
· DS 230 Part I completed for all family members & principal applicant applying for a Diversity Visa
· DS 230 Part II completed for all family members & principal applicant applying for a Diversity Visa
· Two (2) passport size full face photograph for each family member & principal applicant applying for a Diversity Visa

NO other Documents please. Dont worry about the date of birth you will write the correct date on the forms and there is a place where they ask if you entered the eDv entry by yourself or someone did that is when you say someone did it for you.

You can either send it by email or courier.
You have three options to do it.
-First, your can print out the forms and fill in your details with a pen.
-The second option is to open the form on a computer and fill it directly in the computer then later print it out if you finish filling form completely. Google chrome browser works well.
-The last option I see here is to send the form by email. This needs you to be a little computer savvy. With this option you fill the forms on the internet as stated in option two. If you finish filling the forms, you will then save it in a pdf format (If you do not know what pdf is, then please do not use this format). "Nitro pdf pro" works as well (you can Google to download it). You will then write your case number at the top right hand of each page and then save it again.

In all three options you need to keep an extra copy of your forms for future reference since it will come in handy when preparing for your interview. When sending the forms via email,you need to attach your pictures to the attachments you are going to send to kcc. The size of the picture is the same as the size used in the DV lottery. Ps. do not use the same pictures as you used to play the DV lottery since it is more that 6 months old. Hmm this is a lot of details but like I said do not use option three if you are not computer savvy. I personally called kcc and verified if they accept email forms and they said YES so don't ask me if you are wondering, said lateefdauda from Nairaland

You will save around $40 by sending via email

rotexzy: Definitely he saw my number on the magazine....I got that kind of message of an oil company too but I discarded it @once. Even I initially discarded this one too until I went through some pages of this particular forum. I just hope its true sha. Here is the specimen of the confirmation number 2013AF00003*** Ejowo e bami gbeyewo...thanks house!!!
rotexzy: I have bn wondering too...there's a particular type of picture specification required for DV....wen I asked him, he said he used the one on the magazine...how can this be true....House please throw more light on this...in as much as I want to be optimistic, there's still something in me that doubts this xmas gift
rotexzy: Here is it Sis 2013AF00003***
If the state NYSC magazine has details like your date of birth and address the picture can be modified to fit 600 by 600 pixels. This is My say "rotexzy, kindly link up with someone from your neighbourhood who is in this forum and let him or her confirm with you if you are having doubts BUT it is NOT necessary because you can log into same site you gave early, key in the confirmation number he gave you and then voila shocked your selection letter is there. Hurry up in filling in the DSP-122 and DS230 forms plus pictures you send them to KCC online otherwise if you knew early you could be in the US by now, coz people from Naija who had the same case number have done their interviews. It will take KCC 8 weeks to process your papers so kindly hurry up and you will be called for interview by March/April next year. Another OPTION You can call The Kentucky Consular Center telephone number is 606-526-7500(7:30am until 4:00pm EST), or send E-mail inquiry to KCCDV@state.gov to confirm if you WON. Wish you the best."

Im so shocked at your post. Whats all dis nairaland or cedi land issue. Im a very open minded person and i repeat nairaland is not above errors neither is any individual here thats why on most of my posts i state that its just my opinion. joor o. ma ko igbo si mi lapo. i have stayed in different countries and tribalism is not part of me. I suggest you take you time to address issues rather than pick on people. believe me my dear, im the last girl you wanna pick on. Thank you sir and God bless.

TravelRe: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by Spoondar(f): 12:23pm On Dec 19, 2012
Gentiger: Spoondar, this is an entirely different case scenario. From all I can read from your post, he was not legally married to the woman at the time of eDV application and the girlfriend/fiance was pregnant at the time, meaning he couldn't have listed an unborn child.

If he marries his pregnant fiancee/girlfriend after eDV application for that year is over and subsequently includes her and the new born child as derivatives, that's very logical and possible.

In this other case there was an omission. If she must obtain her visa, she must maintain status quo. She must remain silent on the kid.

If she files for the child after she's settled with her green card in the US, she risks deportation. Her immigration records is already in a database. If she's already a naturalized citizen then files for the child, she risks having her citizenship revoked on the grounds of fraudulent acquisition. In any case, that child must be left out.

What she could do is to travel out, get her papers then return home to legally file for adoption of the kid. She can now file for him to join her ONLY WHEN SHE BECOMES A CITIZEN. I do not counsel this. I am only showing the legal options open to her.

I have tried so hard to seperate EMOTIONS & SENTIMENTS from my posts because I am trained to say things AS THEY ARE and not AS THEY OUGHT TO BE. Others who show emotions mean so well. They are empathic but that can get you into a lot of trouble.
You are now talking,,

House, I will like to commend Getinger for that brilliant post of yesterday on the single mother! It's better to say things as it were than to write with feelings and emotions. Once again, for the single mother - It's bettter you go to the interview alone and get that visa for you alone! When you get to the US,you may now file for your son to join you after some years. Is that not better than to gamble and go with your son for the interview? It may actually lead to automatic disqualification. Remember, the visas are limited! If you gamble,however, it's at your own peril because you may be unlucky not to meet the "sweet black angel at window 13".... lol. On a serious note, please fill out your forms and return them without including your 9 year old son, because you never included him originally. Some of these white consuluar officers dey Kolo for head. Dem fit shout say, hey this is fraud!! Once again, the visa's are limited!!
honeydee: i think it would be best to add the boy to the forms. it is stated that you MUST include all your children. If she applies alone and gets to the US, and decides to file for him after some years, how will she explain? i hope we are aware that records are kept and can be referred to anytime even if its in 20yrs. Hiding the kid's existence will only complicate issues for her in future. she can say somebody applied for her. if she lies now she will have to continue lying to cover up the lies. #mypointofview
That is very sad for her, but its better to say the truth. I know of a guy who applied for the eDv as single but when he sent the forms to KCC he included the wife and son. He was married when he applied but wrote single. At the CO he was asked how come he didnt include them he explained his reasons and voila he is in the US right now with the wife and son. Kindly include your son please.
BELOW is his interview
Co: I can see that when you filled your eDV, you was single, why didn't yu include your spouse at this time?
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: Why did you opt to fill her after you was selected
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: Ok, Where did she used to live when yu met and where did you lived at that time
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co:So you knew one another even before the lottery
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: Why were you not staying together and why didn't you marry her at that time?
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: I can see she was pregnant at the time of the eDV, when did she became pregnant
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co:
How old is the kid
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co:How did you came wid this name?
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: Who proposed the name?
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co:Have you ever met your In-laws and for how many times?
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co:When did yu get married
Me: I got married a date xxxxx and then formalized our married thru civil marriage at date xxxxx in order to get a cert
Co:I can see that you almost alike wid your wife despite of the kid, why
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: When did you last had sex wid your spouse
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: do you know her siblings
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: can you name them
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: what do your family calls you, do you have a nick name?(On my DS 230 I filled I don't any alias name.....so I said I don't av a nick name)
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co:Thank you I can see you are brave and I want you to become a US citizen but before I give you visas, I would like you to go with your child outside the marriage if any because we Americans we value children at a high level.
Me: No I don't have any other child except this one here
Co:Where does your spouse works?
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: Does she contribute anything in the house
Me: Brbrbrbrbr
Co: Thank you so much just get seated and then I will come after a moment
I went to have a seat and within no time my spouse came and we started discussion about the questions and answers. Glory to God coz we gave the same answers
After a short moment the CO came back called me holding a green paper and I was like........over enjoyed..........She told me n' ma family to register with DHL to get our passports and visas and also welcomed us to USA.
Thanks to the MOST HIGH GOD

My Exact ERROR was i entered the eDV with a wrong date of birth. It was a typo error but am lucky i use my laptop so it keeps such info (cached). The same wrong date i entered during the initial eDV for my hubby is the same i am using for any online communication but on the forms we sent to KCC we wrote the real dates or rather correct DOB. The KCC people told me that there is no problem if we wrote the correct date on the forms. By the way you have to remember the initial dates on eDV entry because it is the same i use to check for 2NL and my interview is in February 2013.

seye4God: Wow!!!

This is my first time of posting mail in this site. I must commend everyone for their contributions. I see no reason why this country will not change for good. I can read how Nigerians are assisting their fellow brothers/sisters to ensure they pass their DV Lottery Interview. Kudos to those guys that are taking their time to render assistance to thousand of their fellow Nigerians. I can assure you, everyone right here will not reward you but our heavenly Father will surely do. Keep serving and obeying Him....Job 36:11 and Deuteronomy 28:1-13. If you obey Him there is no way He will not bless you and prosper your way.

However, I want to say a big congratulation to everyone that have passed their interview and actually got their US Entry visas. Also to sincerely congratulation those that were selected including my wife, out of millions of entries, for the DV Lottery Interview between October 1st 2012 - September 30th 2013. We, all selectees, are not the best applicants. Millions of people that applied are better than us. It is God's doing and it is marvellous in our sight. I wish you all God favour, mercy and grace to overshadow us on the day of interview. Just believe in God and put your faith in Him. I heard some people saying, it only took the consular just 15minutes and they congratulate him and so on and so forth. Many are not Graduates neither have enough educational background but are artisans - Tailor, Auto-Engineer, Hairdresser, Baker, Truck Driver etc and still they all won. It is GOD that makes it so. We have been selected, therefore, in His infinity mercy, favour and grace, we will be congratulated and rejoice with everyone and sing praises to the LORD.

Bless you..
Thank you! You have said it all for us. Amen and may God's favour follow us all the way.
