I told that guy to have it (checking the pages those experiences were contained) as his only job. He began ranting.When a CO asks you,your date of birth and your age...rant about that too.

can i include his name to d person i wld like to accompany to USA?
pls, enlight on how u did urs. thanks. our wedding is coming up in july

If you haven't sent your forms to KCC yet, then hold on. Take your guy to the altar. Document the whole process, then send your forms to KCC as married. Include your spouses details. You have done nothing wrong. Your visa won't be denied in that basis. But if you have already sent your form to KCC as a single and now want to update them that you're married, you risk being denied. Goodluck!!!

It means the administrative process is over. They're ready with an outcome which could be visa approved or denial based on the outcome.

@ Misbelle,congratulatin u for ur Visa approval.Welcome to America$$$
Thank you o Nero XP. Don't be flattered o, Myself and my wife read ur testimony together and we were really blessed especially the part u said your mother prayed for you and said the Windows 16 woman (or indeed anyone that would make ur interview difficult) will not show up. We keyed into it. Not only was Windows 16 shut, the elderly man that attended to us was very friendly.

My brothers and sisters, truly prayer works! I believe so much in hardwork and proper preparation but prayer seals it up. Like the Bible says, 'the horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory is of the Lord!". Let's hold steadfastly to God both now and when we get there!

Yes you can. However, I will advise that u do that after your wedding so u can include your marriage certificate (and change of name) in your package to KSS. He should also fill the form as well. You can send KCC a mail for further clarification. That was what we did, though in our own case, we had wedded before the result came out. Yours is still acceptable as long as you can prove that your wedding is genuine.

Amen. What do you do there?

For those of us already working in the US, I suggest you let us know the nature of your job and how you got it. This I believe will go a long way to help those still trying to get a job there and those coming over.

If it is ulcer, I don't think that should pose any problem but for some other ailments like tuberculosis, syphilis etc some form of delay may be experienced.

Re: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by roodboy: 7:34am On May 25, 2013
[quote author=Kunlexymoore]First of all, I want to thank God for His faithfulness towards my family. My wife (Shewen4God)won the visa we both played as singles a week to our wedding. When the result came out, we needed to be sure she could add the rest of the family (we had a one month old baby then) to it, so we sent a mail to KCC which they replied in the affirmative. Then the journey began. We sent the forms to KCC including our marriage certificate, our daughters birth certificate and the likes as requested by them. We then started going through a number of forums online (including Nairaland)to learn especially from people in similar situations as ours (played as singles but later got married). A particular nairalanders testimony (Imcool) is worthy of note and really encouraged us likewise many others.

Now to the testimony. Our interview was yesterday. We had a 10am appointment so we got there at about 8am. We were asked to wait under the tree till about 9:30am for immigrants call-up. We knew we had a challenge of how to feed our 1 year old baby since we were not allowed to go in with liquids. That was later sorted out as we had to drop the baby's bag with someone after the third attempts when we were called to line up by 9:30am. We went through the normal security checks and were given an initial tally number and my wife (the primary applicant was given a form to fill). We were later led through another security checks (airport style) into the main hall after handing another tag to us. We later went to pay at window 22 and then my wife's name was called at Windows 17 where we submitted our documents. My own credentials were not asked for at all (other than my medical report, police report and birth certificate) except my wife's since she was the primary applicant. Close to two hours later, our number beeped on Window 13 (the nicest of them all I believe and a bit elderly). Window 16 was shut "
'permanently'. The interview lasted just a little above 10mins. Though he asked a number of questions, they were straightforward questions. Our interview experience went like this:

CO: (Addressing the two of us) Raise your hands and swear that you are going to say nothing but the truth
Both of us: Yes we will!
Then we did the fingerprint stuff.
CO: (Talking to my wife) You give the baby (who was already sleeping - interceeding for us smiley) to your husband.
I was asked to sit somewhere. The good thing was my wife was audible enough as requested by the CO so I had an idea of the questions asked.
CO: Why do you want to go to America?
Wife (Shewen4God): I like to go to America to learn new things, contribute my quota and also help people; which I love doing.
CO: What are you doing presently?
Wife: Since I stopped work due to the marriage policy of our company, I focused on and concluded my MBA programme last year and since then I've been looking for job while learning some new trades like hairmaking and beads making
CO: What's your highest qualification?
Wife: I wrote PGD on the form sent to KCC but I now have my MBA
CO: Where did you meet your husband?
Wife: We met in my former office in 2009. We were colleagues.
CO: Did you play the lottery together?
Wife: No, we played separately as singles since we were not married then
CO: Where did you spend your honeymoon?
Wife: Ghana
Co: Oh I've not been to Ghana before
Wife: It's a nice place
CO: How long did you spend there?
Wife: 4days
CO: What other places has your husband been to?
Wife: Dubai
CO: For official purpose?
Wife: No, for vacation
CO: Has your husband married before and does he have other children other than your daughter?
Wife: No
Co: What about you?
Wife: No
CO: Please call your husband and have a seat

I took my turn and he confirmed the questions he asked my wife and few other ones from me
CO: How did you meet your wife?
Me: Met her through another colleague in her office and chatted her up
Co: Did you play the lottery as well?
Me: Yes I did. I did not win but my wife won
CO: Did you play it together?
Me: No we played separately
CO: Were you there when your daughter was born?
Me: Yes
CO: Do you have some pictures of your wedding?
Me: Yes I do and brought out our wedding album and started opening the album
CO: Who is this? Where was it conducted? Is it a church? Where are your parents and hers?
Me: I answered him (Methodist Church) and showed him our parents picture
CO: Who made this album (Photobook)?
Me: My friend, he's a photographer
CO: Its nice
Me: Thank you sir
CO: What do you do where you work (bank)?
Me: Public Sector Department and described what we do

The CO then brought out two white sheet of paper and asked that I call my wife, which I did. He circled an address and asked that we pick up our visas next friday. We were so happy and my wife even shouted "God bless America" out of excitement and people sitting down had a good laugh. We bless God for His faithfulness from the beginning of this journey till now. Truly, like we say here....God is involved! We also like to thank good people in this forum who shared their testimonies, gave us wonderful advices and insights as regarding the various stages of processing. It made our job easier. Gentiger, Imcool, Demolang (always there when we call), Temmytanny, Godhelpmeoo, Neroxp (used your testimony as a prayer point), Spoonder, Jamaicanlady, Odunmanuel, Mercy 2013, Chuk 87, Kevwe_flex, Roodboy, Junkerhill and many of you guys too numerous to mention. Welldone and I say God bless you. See you @ the top!

Congrat broz.

Kunlexymoore: Thank you very much my brother and I say amen!!! to your prayers. Yes o, we stuck to the word and we got the testimony. Favour truly was with us from the processing stages to the interview day and like you prayed till we get to America and even whilst there and beyond. A lot of people were happy for us while some were skeptical saying "there's nothing in America...don't leave your job o" but I trust God that His favour and mercy will see me through and stand me out over there in America. The same I pray for ALL Nairalander, especially those of us in this forum. We shall all continue to share testimonies upon testimonies in Jesus name.
Feel free to ask any question my brother and by His grace we shall be able to tackle it. Go and possess yours as well IJN. Regards.

Thanks my brother for really acknowledging me. God that started will surely see to it that all goes well. And for those that say, "there's nothing in America...don't leave your job o" are just saying their opinion which they are entitled to. The decision is yours. If they were in your shoes, they would be the first to grab such opportunity. I will certainly do ask any questions. Pls is it necessary to include primary school leaving cert or primary school testimonial or both? Then is it also necessary to have tertiary school cert or just the statement of result?
