diskindgod: Pls I am new person In this forum. I was selected in the 2014 dv wt case no 2014000MP*****

The year of birth of my wife on our marriage certificate is different from dat on her birth certificate. Pls what should I do as I am confused now. I am yet to send the required forms.

janut: House pls help me out out this-
My confirmation page does not have my correct year of birth( this I must admit is my own error)because when I called Kentucky the lady was able to confirm my name, day of birth and month of birth, but when it got to the year of birth she said what I gave does not tally with what she has on her system and what they have on their system is exactly as I submitted it which cannot be changed. After that I then laid a complain via mail and I was told to submit the correct one when sending in my documents and it will be included in my file for review as they do not have the power to make any changes.
All my documents i.e birth cert, WAEC cert,international passport as well as marriage cert, carries my right age which I will tender during my interview. But my main concern is if the consular officer might use this error as grounds for denying me visa.
Would appreciate all your candid opinion.

What's the difference between current and interview? Shhmmmm Na wa o.

abiodunraufu: How will 2014 selectees be informed about their interview dates?

abiodunraufu: What are the chances of my 53-year old brother who is a 2014 selecte? He is a lawyer with master's degree and he is married with four kids. Will his age count against him during the visa interview?

BJ369: Hi guys, kindly help shed more light on the underlisted questions:

1. Please help clarify between Birth certificate and Attestation of Birth. I was born before 1992 and i only have the old birth certificate issued to me by the hospital. Which do i need to take with me to the interview.

2. Which should be taken along, the marriage certificate issued by the church or the one issued by the court/Local Government?

3. There is this talk about the interviewers focusing their questions more on best performed subjects in SSCE, what actually applies with someone with an advanced degree(MBA)?

Thanks

First thing I always advise is that anyone coming to the US should LEARN HOW TO DRIVE before leaving Nigeria. Second thing I advise is for those who have had some academic training (Poly, NCE, University) to COME WITH YOUR TRANSCRIPTS. Do your research on job/career you will like to pursue. Have short-term and long-term goal. Your goals and expectations should be realistic. Money don't grow on trees anywhere in the world. When buying your tickets, buy round-trip. Often times, there isn't much price difference.


I will pause for now. You can send me questions and I will try to find time to answer them.

abiodunraufu: Is it true that any beneficiary that is above 18 years will not be granted visa? Because my uncle who has just been selected has a 21-year old son whose name he included.

junkerhill: He can join him over there after when the father has became a citizen.
Someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

uchechuwku:

That's not true. Infact, 21 is the maximum eligible age for a child dependant.
You need to read the 2014 instruction again.

ogundipeola: Hello my ppl,pls I have this to ask, my bro was selected for further processing and he wants to migrate with his wife who already had an int.passport in her father's name b4 marriage since 2010 that will expire 2015.pls will the American Consular raise an eye brow with this? And if no what is the chance of granting them the visa. Because they are on d verge of getting new pasport that will bear his husband surname whc will cost them like 150k in Abj.pls advice.

junkerhill: thanks bro. I know there is an age limit but I thought its 18 years. That's why I said someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

ferdimako:

It's 21. If you aged on to it, they may allow you get the visa. If you were 21 when the application was made, you may not get a visa.

uchechuwku:

No no, you also got it wrong.

If the child was 21 when d application was submitted, he/she is qualified. Pls, go through the instruction again.

junkerhill: He can join him over there after when the father has became a citizen.

MsSantaClaus:

He may not have to wait till then as long as he was included in the original application and as long as the child was under 21 at the time of filing the entry he should be eligible. He will receive derivative status and should be granted the visa at the same time as the father.There is something called "aging out" which should apply under the Child Status Protection Act, as long as the child is still unmarried.

junkerhill: Thanks for your advice bro. Can you please state the reason for the round trip ticket and not one way.

sendtodeji:

In my experience, the price is often if not almost the same. If you make the return leg far out, like a 5 - 6 months, as might be permitted, you could use it to visit Nigeria. It's also a backup/back-out plan if reality dawns and you decide to go back to re-group. In any case, you don't have to shell out money to buy a return ticket, if you change your mind about staying.

celinorita: Good morning ALL. Pls I need your advice. My fiance won the DV 2014 visa lottery (ie he is a selectee) as a bachelor. But, we did our traditional wedding in December last year, not yet done the white wedding though! And not planning to do it soon, finance and all.
Well! He filled the online application as a single man but he wants to include me in the selectee's information to be sent to Kentucky as his wife so we can travel together.
I am worried. Will his changed marital status affect his visa outcome?
