[quote author=ifeanyi.abdul]Good day House,
To God be the Glory! Interview appointment was 10am today and it was successful; After going through all security checks and making necessary payments, we were called at window 20 to submit only 1 passport photograph, 1 photocopy and original of only birth certificates for 5 of us and marriage certificate. The guy at window 20 never even demanded for our academic credentials, and we wondered why?
We waited until our ticket number beeped!
CO: Good afternoon
US: Good afternoon
CO: How are you?
US: We are fine thank you, and you? He replied: very good
CO: Please do your thumb prints on the machine - we both did that
CO: Please raise your right hands and promise to .....
CO: To my wife, you are the principal applicant..... my wife answered yes
US: We remained standing with the kids for the interview. I was not asked to go and sit down with the kids

INTERVIEW PROPER
CO: What's is your highest educational qualification
My wife: Answered
CO: Do you have any document for this
My wife: She presents Original and 1 photocopy
CO: Do you have WAEC?
My wife: Yes, and presents her Original WAEC and 1 photocopy
CO: Everything is good, pulls out white paper and hands over to us!

To all members of this great forum, we remain eternally grateful. God bless you in your dreams!

Note: We had 2 birth certificates; the NPC, and the normal birth certificate for myself and my wife. The man at windows 20 looked at both, but choose the NPC. He remarked : your NPC certificate is a certified one (authenticated), and I said yes.
We prepared so hard; asked ourselves questions and even carried 2 big albums for courtship, introduction and wedding, but CO never asked us to present any album and only asked us 2 questions during the interview proper as highlighted above. We can clearly see God's favor and hands in our interview.
GENERAL ADVICE TO ALL: Please, let's not forget our God when we get to the U.S. When things are rosy, let's learn to hold on to God at such times more than when we encounter problems.[/quote]Congratulations to you and your family.

[quote author=zerzer ]pls hse when doing medicals do they collect saliva or is jst blood and x ray pls i need responce[/quote]In my town and country they collect stool, urine and blood samples. XRay is done then checked if you have a scar due to long time TB or past TB they will take spurtum for culture which takes 8 weeks for the results to come out. NOTE: If anyone in the house ever suffered from TB before i will advice them to take their medicals 2 months to their interview,,,,

doctorp76: i believe its because you are marriage coupes thats why they put your surname for her surname!!!!!!!!!!!

mascotinme: Hello house, mrn. Please i went to collect our visa on thur, on getting home, i notice dat dere is a mistake on my wife document, dey echange her parents name with my parent name , pls what should i do. And please how much is ticket to New York.

Send them back to the Embassy with a note stating the mistake. NOTE send all the documents back because they will have to change the dates of issue on all the documents. my hubby's date of birth was wrong we only sent his passport they also said that he should send his yellow envelope again they realised he had beneficiaries they told us to send all our documents back. We sent them back and they changed dates on Visa issues and visa number plus they changed the dates on the yellow envelopes. You dont pay any money when sending thru DHL all you need is a DHL reference number

sunday45: Hello my family, my interview comes up this week (Tuesday) remembe me in your prayers oo. let me come back with testimony. love u al

We shall pray for you, the visa is yours IJN put all the necessary documents ready

mohamed shire: BUT MY FRIEND IT SAYS THAT MY CASE NUMBER IS INVALID WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

Oh my!! This your arrogance wont pay at all. Infact it will teach you to know how to be patient. If you think that NO one is giving you the correct information why cant you take the bull by its horns Wait for 90 days then write to them and tell them that the names were wrongly keyyed in plus the case number then they will check it out. They know every steps they take so be STILL

mohamed shire: hi every body in the house, it is now 36 days from the time i have been putted on further administrative process by US embassy in Nairobi, and the yellow form that they have given me says wait 90 days, and i have heard that the waiting time for further administrative processing is 60 days, what do you think is wrong or they wrote 90 days in my form is mistake.
and the other thing i want to ask is CO wrote my name wrongly in that form and wrote my case number as 2012 instead of 2013, so will that have any effect in my case, i just saw that when i went to my home.

please write me soon

your are highly expected

We have a person in our forum he is from Ethiopia he did his interview early October last year he has been patiently waiting until last week is when he got his Visa This gentleman had to wait for 5 months. I really dont understand why you are NOT patient. What will happen when you get to the US man you have to learn to be patient everything good comes with patience unless in Somalia you are always in hurry but now with this they have the last shout so BE STILL and learn from others.

ferdimako: Why are they in Nigeria? Which state is Canaan?

For the Saturday’s 2014 World Cup qualification match in Calabar, Cross River State.

Kenya's Harambee Stars get cold reception in Nigeria. 9ja would use a 5star hotel and training centre when the come to Kenya. This is SPOONDAR from Kenya, i just feel humiliated and hurt. Why is this happening to our Boyz? I understand even the food they were served was so terrible with lots of pepper what is the game plan our national team is Sleeping in a primary school - Ajao Estate Primary School, Oshodi dormitory at some in state Nigeria! This is too shameful! They came there for the Saturday’s 2014 World Cup qualification match in Calabar.

loveshowgirl1: Thank you all for your prayers for it worked oh, I was just granted my visa. Testimony coming shortly.......still can't believe its over after the long wait. I thank una oooooh

How can i change my address[/quote]Dont worry we are sailing in the same boat i also changed mine to Texas and will give my new address at the POE

loconzo00: I give glory to Almighty God who started all by making way for these visas for my family.
I thank the nairalanders who God has used to make the visas a reality.

I tender my apology to all nairalanders for this late testimony.
It is borne out of a very personal reason which i would appreciate much if respected.
Although i have not posted here for a while even before the interview not to mention asking for prayer while going for interview as some insinuated after i decided to delay the testimony but i want to state clearly here that your prayers did not pass us unclaimed. This testimony is the result of your prayers and mercy of THE HOLY ONE above that answers prayers.

I have been playing the lottery since 1995 as single and since 2002 as married.
I played two entries as husband and wife but my wife won.


ALSO ALL REMEMBER TO PUT GOD FIRST.

GLORY BE TO GOD.

I CAN'T BUT MENTION A FEW FORUMITES (ALL FORUNITES INDEED)WHOSE POSTING WERE IMMENSELY BENEFICIAL TO ME. LIKE

TEMMYTANNY, ADESOJIADREMI, GENTIGER, ADZOVIA,BRIGHTMON, BUSSYME, IBRACADABRA, Kemzone2003, Godhelpmeooo, obamaobama, rood boy, NEROXP, LERIPA, jejelady, @femo, SPOONDAR , I HATE 9JA,and so on.

YOU ARE TOO WONDERFUL.
I PRAY THAT ALL THE REMAINING DV2013 SELECTEE MEMBERS OF THIS FORUM SHALL HAVE SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
THANKING YOU ALL ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.
GOD BLESS.

Man!!! you have been patient since 1995, God has finally did it for you. Just like me i played it more than 6 times and the time God answered me he selected my husband as a principal winner. For sure, God has plans and the best plans for us all. I take this opportunity to CONGRATULATE you and your family and Welcome to the US of A.

[quote author=@femo]Pls house my wife only collected credentials the CO did nt giv us medical and police report we submitted hop no prob?[/quote]In my country those things will be sent to you in a yellow envelope that you shouldnt open until the immigration officer at the POE opens them so i dont know about Naija nor Ghana how its done. It comes together with your visa

Congratulations to you femo, doctorp76 and Yusmash00 i am so happy for you three.

[quote author=@femo]Tomorw is my interview house pray 4 me nd my family[/quote]It shall be well, May you come out smiling

Tovalli i take this opportunity to congratulate you!!!

temmytanny: @all,its not been easy for me in the past few days going to work and coming to nairaland to make comments.I runs two jobs and have busy lately(US is all about money and hours ).I want to wish those yet to go for interview success.PLease,always be smart,courageous and wear smiles on your face whenever you go and face the COs.Make sure your documents are intact aleast two weeks before your interview.If you arent traveling immediately after visa issuance,its advisable you do your medical few days(may be 2weeks)to your interview so that your medicals dont expire before leaving naija.Police report is 3months but no longer needed once you get ur visa.Go to embassy with ever document that would help you and not implicate you.All required documents must be in one envelop with two photocopies each(though,they need just one photocopy).The visas are yours,they are just helping you to keep them.
AMERICA IS SWEET ooooooo the more you work,the more money you make,please do fast and come and join us
ADIOS!

Thanks for the INFO, cant wait to get there

Gentiger and other forum friends, i have this friend of mine who got selected and he is yet to get current in june i hope so. His issue is that he insist in marrying his girlfriend they've dated for 5yrs now, currently she might be 2 months old pregnant for him. When he entered the eDv he entered single, sent forms to KCC as single and now he is determined to marry the lady and fill the forms again to include her. I have warned him but he is really thorn and doesnt know what to do. Kindly give me the best answers for me to copy them and paste to him to read from you people, thanks.

anelka73: forumnites, can the principal applicant take the lead 2 the US. I want to go first and my wife and child to follow before their visa expires. please advice

yes the principal applicant can go first then the beneficiaries will follow later

Opoki: @Spoondar: Is that your picture on your dp?

Bronxess: Hello good people. I am a Cameroonian residing in Kumba, the South West Region of Cameroon. Please help a sister. I have a big problem. I was also successful for the DV lottery 2013. I got married traditionally in 2010 with pictures and also in court that same year but we did not take pictures because it was not celebrated. Are court marriage pictures very vital?
Most importantly good people, here is my major problem; after I was notified that I was selected for further processing of the DV Lottery 2013, my husband and I filled the required forms accordingly that we got married in 2010 but truly I do not remember if I registered on the original online form as married or single. Please house, I really need your advice and ask if there is a possibility that I can know if I registered as single or married on the original online form. I am seriously looking forward to your good advices. Best regards.

Bronxess you say you got married in 2010 both tradition and court that same year and you dont remember entering if you were married huh!!! This is very funny, we entered the eDv entry in 2011 so you were already married why would you think that you entered single if by then you were married? Unless this is what you did and now want options thrown to you. You see when you enter married that means it will still ask you about your spouses information where he was born and his date of birth surely if all this you cant remember if you entered them then you are fixed. Anyway if you have your 2010 court marriage certificate dont worry you can say someone filled it for you but hey did you write in the ds230 that you filled it yourself?

rood boy: @ spoonder: wen are you intend 2 leave?

I will be leaving early May still visiting relatives

zionking28: . Good day everyone, so sorry for not posting my success story until now. I left for work immediately after my successful interview. My interview experience goes thus:
My Fiancee and I got to the Embassy @ 6:50am, my interview letter was collected did the screening and all. I got the no B421 and made the $330 equivalent 54,500.
Later on my name and number was called up for doc verification.
My number B421 beeped at Window 13, where a young looking handsome man was, he should be in his early 30s. He denied two couples before I was called.
Me: Good morning Mr. USA
CO: Morning... Morning (smiling)
CO: Are you Mr. Nwosu
Me: Yes I am
He showed me the form I sent to KCC and asked if it was mine, said yes and asked me to sign on the pink sticker, which I did and thumb print.

CO: What is your highest qualification
Me: SSCE
CO: What was your best subject in school
Me: Commerce (I had C6)
CO: But you have good grade in Accounting. (B2), so can you tell me about your exam in Accounting.
Me: My exam was in two parts (objective and theory). In the objective part there are options where candidates are meant to choose from the options and then shade in and the theory part is an essay written part based on questions asked.
CO: Good... Good (shaking his head).
CO: Tell me abt some topics in Accounting.
Me: Double Column Entry and Asset. I did explanations.
CO: Can you tell me abt Agric Sc exam
Me: (I scored C4) Exam was in two part. Part 1 (objective and theory) and part 2 (Practical).
Me: (He immediately got interested on the practical aspect cos I had already mentioned objectives and theory when I earlier talked by Accounting). I brought out my wallet, hankerchief and a pen on the table as my specimen. Bla... Bla... (The guy just dey shake him head).
CO: When did you finish school
Me: 2003
CO: What have you been doing since then
Me: Working with Sweet Sensation. Confectionery as Baker
CO: Wow, where did you learn it
Me: Right there from the company
CO: Are you still working with them
Me: Yes, till date.
CO: Can I have your testimonial
Me: I gave my testimonial to him.
CO: Wow, you play football can you tell me abt football.
Me: That was part of my activities in school and I told him abt football.
CO: Congratulations, I will give you your Visa.
He brought out two white papers, one for USCIS fee ($165) and the other for Visa collection. He told me to go anytime from next week for the collection.
Na so God take do am for me oooo. Saying a big thank you to our mentor GENTIGER. Also to Nero XP I no forget you ooh..., my fiancee told me how you called severally to know our success story. Leripa, Adesoji, Godhelpme, Junkerhill, Roodboy, Spoonder, Ojisalara, Ferdimako and everyone in this forum. GOD bless US real good. Goodluck to all those awaiting interview

ZionKing, a big Congratulation to you brother, may you have a smooth transition all the way.

ogba1: Sori fellow forumites for posting my interview experience late,it was due to circumstances beyond my control. Last week Monday ,me, my wife and son had our visas approved after a successful. Ours was like a chit -chat as it were. To God be the Glory.
We arrived the embassy at about 6am but had to hire chairs to wait for our interview slated for 10am. At the hour, we proceeded to the gate were security checks were effected. Once inside the hall, we paid the necessary fees and our documents checked and received. We sat down to wait for our number to be called. Behold at about 12.30pm our number beeped at Window 13 (handsome guy) who had earlier on denied 2 couples. We braced up and moved with confidence to Window 13 because greater is he who is in us that the one in the world.----- Am the principal applicant.

CO---- Goodmorning and how are u today.

CO-----(To wife) when did you marry
WIFE---- She answered
CO----- What do you do
WIFE--- She answered
CO-----(Giving back our original documents) Congratulations, I will give u the visas
US---- Thank sir (smiles all the way)
CO---- (Brought out 2 sheets"collection paper and paper for method to pay $165" and handed them over to me) when are travelling to the US
ME---- I answered and added "God Bless and forever bless America"
CO----- Thank you.
My observation from the above is that one should be confident and relax during the course of the interview. And above all be very very Prayerful and have faith that God is in control. Please forumites join me in thanking GOD for HIS mercies in our lives. I wish everybody a successful interview ahead. The GOD that did it for US will surely do it for you. Hope to see you all at the otherside----US-----OF-----AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

gunners4u: welcome bros. U ar very luck to get dat flight ticket for less than 400dollars

Chirpywest got the tickects that were less $400 each NOT for less than $400. This is more reasonable unless am the one who didnt understand him
