I know people have been apologizing on your behalf about that unfortunate comment, how about apologizing yourself?

I am deeply sorry dis is coming late, i am using my fone to type it and dis is the 2nd time i am typing it as i have lost the one i typed yesterday, so i have to make it short as i may probably be missing some parts in my chat experience ...... Thanks for understanding.

PROLOGUE
When i was in primary school, i remember vividly dat each time am staying wit my mum outside the compound in the night, and i heard the sound of Aeroplane, I always imagine my self been in that plane!!! And my mum always assured me that i will definitely travel out of the country, and she always blessed me.

I started Playing Lottery since 2005. I wasn’t selected, In 2006, I had my first serious relationship wit a young lady, we dated for 5 months and with much love between us, but at the end her mum took her to United state of America to continue her study over dere. That same year (ending) while I was going on to see someone and i met a young man (Dress Islamically) and stop me, den he said to me ... You will travel out of the country and become a successful man. I told him thank you. I put more effort playing the lottery
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011... Not Selected .. Then i am tired about DV lottery.

THE JOURNEY BEGINS.
Not been selected over the years made me believe that DV lottery is not real. Then the question is, how do I achieve my successful American dream based on what I heard from someone I haven’t seen or meet before (a seer). Well my hope never completely lost.

One faithful day (October 3rd 2012) I went to a Cyber café where I normally catch fun with Facebook ladies… and also making some researches about my education. Behold my God father with his family in that same café filing the DV Lottery online form; I wasn’t surprise because I believe it’s a waste of time. I left the café when I have exhausted my Air Time.

Fast Forward… Exactly October 31st I went back to the same café and met with my hold friend filling the form DV form, for many applicant … Then He ask me “Am I not going to register too” then I told him am not interested.. Then he looked at me and said what does it takes you to do it, after all its free registration online. I decided to accept my friend opinion and I reluctantly register, fill the DV Lottery form and copy & past the Confirmation No. on my Gmail box exactly 8:00pm.

I have forgotten that I play lottery, on the 6th of May 2013 I went back to the Cyber café as usual (Facebook stuff… I know get work nah lolzz), then I login my Gmail account to check e-mail a girl sent me, then I saw were I saved the Confirmation Page. That reminds me about the lottery, then I visit their website dvlottery.state.gov and I provide my Full name and Year of Birth and the Confirmation No. Fortunately, I am randomly selected for further processing of DV lottery program. Is my eye deceiving me I have to close again and re-login then it says the same … I am so happy that I couldn’t keep myself calm, and then shouted “Chai !!! Dere’iz God ooo…. lol” people at the Café suddenly looked at me and ask what went wrong then I said to them.. ohh noo, it’s my Maga that pay my cash just now.

That is when I started thinking on what next step to take next.. I sent my form by that same month May 21st to KCC and the long awaiting mode activated. I am so anxious I didn’t get any response from KCC because I was expecting them to sent me back my interview date package Via DHL or other means of sending document across countries.
Here is Lack of knowledge. Before sending the mail I was told by my brother’s friend that I have to send the KCC form with a return ticket “What that means is, I must Pay money for To and fro for sending my DSP forms in other for them (USA) to send it back to me, he says that US can not pay money for sending back the document for interview” Then I have to pay up to 28,000 (to and fro) sending it.

I joined the Great Nairaland on November 2013, and my first questions was responded to with great honour from Obatide, Komakan, Ukemeglitters, Kevwe-flex and Lagbabe, and with their responses my anxiousness was eradicated. Then I started observing people’s questions and answers and those who replying to them.. I actually feels that I am at the right place to be. “GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU”
…… Fast Forward

JULY 17
THE INTERVIEW (I am sure this is what everyone looking forward to, 45 mins of interview, is not funny at all… )
I have been receiving prayers upon prayers before the day of my interview from around the world (My mum and her Pastors my Dad and his Alfas and my wonderful people of Nairalanders, those already in USA and here in Nigeria … I say Thank you all and God bless every one of you, you all have made me realized that there are more to social media not only dating girls on Social network… here, I have fathers, mothers, brothers and sister including girl friends

On the 16th of July, members have been calling me and hoping that I am already at Obalende in hotel, but I told them that I stays in oshodi so I will not find it difficult getting to Obalende early. (But I never knew I have deceived myself with my mind set).

I sincerely woke up by 4:15am and get dress and pray .. I left home by 4:45am and board a bus going to Obalende… here comes when I realized that I will fail attending to my interview because the traffic was extremely large that we got to Obalende by 6:20am, at this time I was so depressed and thinking that if I failed not attending the interview what will I tell my beloved Nairalanders?? Infact I think to extent that I will rather NOT pick anybody’s call and de-activated my account on NL as I believe I have disappoint myself and everyone on the thread.

I was stocked again in the bus going to V.I. ….
Fast Forward…. I got to Embassy as at 7:10am and I am scheduled for 7:00am.
An advice for everyone, Please regardless of where you are living, make sure u are at Obalende a day before your interview.. Am pleading you in the name of God.

I am lucky to be the Last person to be checked in the building, Pass through the security check-up, but when I got to the main building were I will have to remove my belt then I told the security man that I am not putting on belt then he tot am lying and am not ready to go in. then I show him the rope i use holding my trouser .

Then i walk majestically into the interview hall. Me, Alickic and Turlest were gisting and lecturing people we met there on how to go about their chat wit the CO. I noticed two couples, wit their behaviour, i am 99.9 percent sure they are fake, then i stylishly told the husband dat fake people can easily be detected, then he stylishly told me they are not real and dat i should pray and advise them. I did but told them openly that they have 90 percent of visa denial chances.

Pls, Everyone going for interview, make sure u interact wit your wife often, there is camera all over the hall, some times the CO interviewing you might not be one dat will finally decide on your case but the VO sitting behind dem who are watching everyone's attitude (I am talking from experience) Things Have changed my family. PLS AM NOT HERE TO SCARE ANYBODY OFF. I just wanted everyone to be adequately prepared for interview. Has anyone heard about were CO denied someone with WAEC Print out without scratch card?

And people were surprise and was claping hand for me too, teling me you are favour

By this time i am laughing and laughing and extremely happy and i said thank you Almighty Allah
God Almighty has favour me beyond my expectations

ADVICE
My Advice goes to those dat are yet to be interviewed, pls i will like you to caution your self with the question u asked publicly, pls note and think of what type of questions u will be asking on the forum.. Get this at the back of your mind, everything you posted here ... They read it and can use it against you. Wen I first join nairaland, I post a question here but thank God wen i reveal the truth to the CO and he confirmed it to be true.

So incase u have some questions that u know it can affect your. Pls PM any of the old members and let dem advice you thoroughly ... Pls dont get me wrong, am not saying u shouldnt post here ooo .. But u no exactly what i mean ... So i need not to emphasized more on this.

Again pls if you have the opportunity to get your original waec certificate pls do ooo . dis will save you from unnecessary questions ask by CO, you could imagine they denied based on the fact that someone tender waec print out without scratch... And people denied without their medical result completed,

Go along wit any additional documents dat has to do with your personal life... Secondary schoold ID card, university id card, National Identity including your Intl Passport, graduation pix etc... Pls note dat they are not compulsory but if been ask for it and are not wit it.... Dat can lead you to be off balance wit the CO

Because i knew Camera is watching me, each time the CO leave my present, i always drop the fone den started looking back and smile wit other people waiting to be interview... (Why I'm doing is to ease and cool my tension)... The more you quite wen d CO leaves you, the higher the tension dat will rise within you.

OBSERVATION
Pls and pls the CO is trying to put more pressure on all the Applicant now as we are getting closer to September 30 the end of fiscal year.
I am the first person they approved his visa after denying 6 people at my present.

Pls prepare adequately, The CO are not killers they are human been like us, wen you realized they are trying to manipulate you wit questions .. Pls instead of you saying wrong things, tell them this is how it its .. Let them know you are full of confidence, and whether visa or not u are always real
And also, pray to God never to be call first at the embassy, because most people they call always have issues and mostly have there visa denied.

In case you know anyone dat is trying to deceive CO at the embasy either by arrangee couples or an imposters, pls advice them to stop not to further to the embassy.. They can probably land in jail.

APPRECIATION
Thank you God, I appreciate the favour u showered on us here on NL..

I want to thank every blessed members of the great forum ... I already have a long post... I wouldnt want to add to it more by mentioning names, and besides if i mistakenly omit someone's name, den I will not forgive my self ... Thanks for your prayer and ur love... God be wit you all every seconds ... I love you all

johnsonadex: Energysaver visa approved

johnsonadex: Agbeke and hubby visa approved

valworld: Hi everyone?
can someone tell me how long it takes for the 2NL to be available after the visa bulletin is released?
thanks

QAAT: This is what the VO wrote this morning.
Pls let's try and avoid such things;



A quick heads up that Nigerian law enforcement
officers are taking a greater interest in our
Diversity Visa applicants. Specifically, several
imposters have been detained by Nigerian law
enforcement after their interviews at the
Consulate recently. If you know someone who
thinks they can sneak past us with someone
else's application package, tell them not to risk it!
We have very sophisticated facial recognition
software and a very productive relationship with
the Nigerian police.

samolaniyi:

My continuous prayers goes out to those yet to be interviewed in this our month of perfection and possibilities.
