Allybert: Hi everyone,
To the glory of the Lord and the prayer of you all, I and my wife had a successful interview some hours ago. The CO at window 13 is indeed an angel! Without much ado, I will just go straight to the interview experience proper. But mind you, my wife was the principal applicant. She played as single before we married last year before the DV result.
Co: good morning
We: good morning ma
CO: Please sign these forms
We: Okay ma - we signed the forms
CO: Am going to take your fingers print
We: Alright ma - ( We did the fingers print)
CO: Do you swear to say nothing but the truth?
We: Absolutely yes
CO: please go and have your sit while I interview your wife.
Me: Alright ma. - (I had to stood a few distance away cos I already lose my sit)
Co: what is the name of your sch?
Wife: Blah blah blah
CO: What course did you study?
Wife: Food sci & tech
CO: Why did you study food sci & tech
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: What year did you finished?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah -
CO: Tell me about your course
Wife: Blah blah blah
CO: No. I don`t want defination. I want full explanation
Wife: Blah blah blah blah- (explaining in details until she asked her to stop)
CO: Tell me about food processing
Wife: Blah blah blah blah
CO: What are perishable food products?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: How can you preserve them?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah - (citing terms and giving examples) Now the CO is typing.
CO: When did you get married?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: Where, when and how did you meet your husband?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: When did he proposed?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: What does your husband do?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: Can you explain what type of business your husband do?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: How much does he earn?
Wife : I really don`t know the exact amount
CO: You mean you don`t know how much your husband earn?
Wife: Yes, because he is not a salary earner. But we are living good. We are okay with what he earns.
CO: Oh! yeah I can really see that. - ( at this stage the interview is becoming very interesting to her and what follows thereafter was more like a chit chat)
CO: What type of wedding did you do?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: DO you have a very big wedding?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: Do you have wedding pictures?
Wife : yes (my wife brought out our photo book and as she was flipping, the CO asked her to keep flipping. She was smiling, then asked wife to stop and pointed to someone in the picture)
CO: Who is that in the picture?
Wife : Blah blah blah blah
CO: Do you have any courtship picture?
Wife : Yes
CO: Can I see? (At this stage she was very busy typing and staring into the computer. She did not bother to check the courtship pictures) She then asked my wife to call me. As I was approaching the window, she said to my wife - give me a minute I want to get some papers.
Wife: Alright ma - Now I am standing beside my wife and she was whispering into my ear. Then the CO returned with two papers and gave our original documents back to us.
CO: MR & MRS blah blah blah, congratulations your visas have been approved. Welcome to America. Go to the circled address to pick up your visas next week Fri. She then explained something to us about how to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee but we werent really paying attention because we were very excited. My wife was just smiling and saying thank you, thank you, thank you ma! The CO was just smiling......
My wife did a very good job and I am very proud of her. The only question I was asked was "Did you swear to say nothing but the truth" Which I answered "Absolutely yes"
Lessons:
* Be prayerful
* Prepare very hard
* When academic question is asked, don`t give definations but explanation and keep explaining until the CO ask you to stop.
* Speak out loud and look straight into the CO`s eyes.
* If married, say things the way they are. Don`t fabricate.
* Make sure you are able to defend whatever qualification you are claiming.
* Another thing I observed from other interview experiences is that, the CO usually start their academic questions from your highest level of education and if you are able to explain very well, they will not bother to ask you questions from your SSCE.
Thank you and God bless you all.
Congratulations broda because the good LORD has done it. AMEN 1 Like |

As I got to the Ghana embassy today to pick up my VISA I was called together with 3 other people and I asked to wait cos the CO wanted to meet us. The CO called me and I gave me a form to fill asking for additional information. She then told me my VISA was not ready and that I have been put on Administrative Processing. She said they will call me after they are done with that. She didn't tell me any reason why I was put on AP all she said was they would call me. She collected the green sheet and gave me a white paper to go and wait to be called. Pls house can anyone help me with regards to what is happening?? I am soo shattered right now. The only issue I had was the wrong DOB in my initial entry which they never asked during the interview plus I have a sworn affidavit for that. House pls help me... Maybe they still need to verify some information. God is in control. Just pray |

adzovia:
dear let me sate here that for a host to agree to pay your green card fee for you is a miracle. regardless of who your host is. you can get to the states get a visa gift card which also couples as a form of credit card to pay but asking someone else to pay for you will end up with them giving you an excuse why you should not even come and stay in the first place. look asking the embassy is not any loonnnnng thing what if they have a way you could pay in your country before coming here. if you think is long then advice anyone who so wishes to ask their host to pay for them they will pay later and see what will happen. usa is not Nigeria or Ghana. I think winners are required to pay before their departure for US. Visa gift card will not likely work in this case. |

This is a very serious issue oo bros cos what I know when you are giving a white sheet in ghana,then you have been denied. If the co had given you the yellow sheet that could have been a bit promising hmmmm. You pray to God. |

I think winners are required to pay before their departure for US.
Visa gift card will not likely work in this case. are you sure my dear? cause i have put most of my money on a visa gift card and it has been accepted everywhere. online in shops etc....... is just like a debit card good to give out to someone you want to dash money here in the states and also good for people like us who just moved here with no account and no credit to get a credit card. is just like a visa debit card i have used it and i know but if you saying the payment has to be made back in Nigeria or other countries before they come then that is great. |

My wife did a very good job and I am very proud of her. The only question I was asked was "Did you swear to say nothing but the truth" Which I answered "Absolutely yes"
Lessons:
* Be prayerful
* Prepare very hard
* When academic question is asked, don`t give definations but explanation and keep explaining until the CO ask you to stop.
* Speak out loud and look straight into the CO`s eyes.
* If married, say things the way they are. Don`t fabricate.
* Make sure you are able to defend whatever qualification you are claiming.
* Another thing I observed from other interview experiences is that, the CO usually start their academic questions from your highest level of education and if you are able to explain very well, they will not bother to ask you questions from your SSCE.
Thank you and God bless you all.
congratulations my brother.Thank God for you and your family. My wife read food tech too and she is the applicant oo. pls we would'nt mind to use your experience as a case study and learn from there |

are you sure my dear? cause i have put most of my money on a visa gift card and it has been accepted everywhere. online in shops etc....... is just like a debit card good to give out to someone you want to dash money here in the states and also good for people like us who just moved here with no account and no credit to get a credit card. is just like a visa debit card i have used it and i know but if you saying the payment has to be made back in Nigeria or other countries before they come then that is great. Adzovia that visa gift card is just as you have described it . Just as obtainable here in Europe but if the fees are supposed to be paid before traveling to US, then it might just not be within the reach of someone who is yet to leave. That's what i mean. By the way how are you people brazing up for approaching snow storm. I understand you are in New Jersey. I shall be heading that way with my family as soon as we obtain our visa next month by His grace. Stay blessed. 1 Like |

Hi Adzovia, is it until one gets to the US before one can get and also put money into d visa gift card or can it be done in one's home country before departure? Plz shed more light on this and in any of d cases above that is accepted, what's d procedure of obtaining the visa gift card and subsequently putting money into it? Just for d benefit of d ppl who are planning to travel soon. Thanks |
