Unfortunately, you did not convince the interviewing officer that you have a bona fide spousal relationship with the DV winner. This decision is final. Please understand that we cannot get into a discussion of the details in a public forum.
Thank you ma,we appreciate your reply.Pls ma,we want you to help us with the details,but certainly not in a public forum.Pls ma we want to hear the details,but dont know how. Thanks. |

dearest VO,pls I have some issues I want you to help check and clarify. We just left the consulate now,I attended the interview as advised by you.Thank you ma.Something happened that still baffles my wife and I.We were called for interview and after questions by the CO was answerd correctly, she asked us to wait for some minutes, then said my wife is not able to convince her about our relationship. Pls ma help us confirm if we are correct. Case Number :2014AF00013895. We will really appreciate if you will help know where we erred.Maybe your office should pay us a visit at home.I dont think I have heard something like this before,except something is wrong. Thanks, waiting for your warmest reply. |

VisaOfficer:
Yes, you should both attend the interview. Otherwise we will suspect that you do not have a bona fide relationship, and neither of you will receive a visa.
We cannot issue any 2014 Diversity Visas after September 30. So, if you plan to join her later, you should go ahead and get your visa now -- it will be valid until your medical paperwork expires, theoretically some months from now. Dear Visa Officer,thanks for your prompt response.I will do exactly as you have advised. I have to ensure I make myself available for the interview come Aug.Thanks a million. 1 Like |

olabowalebiyi: Ok! I'm not a good narrator but I will try and make our DV2012-2014 experience has simple n interesting as I can. 1st our name is a coinage of mine n hubby,I'm Olabowale n my hubby is Oluwabiyi hence Olabowalebiyi . 2012 we both registered for d lottery but separately because we were single then. Got married in May 2013,trying to settle into the marriage n hoping to God for that blessings n favour that comes with marriage. Then friends started advising that we should try n apply for US Visa so we could have our Child(ren) there when d time comes. That was when we remembered our lottery o. On dis faithful evening in later May or early June sha,hubby came back from work n said we should check our DV result,na so we check hubby own 1st n he was not selected n we checked mine,and that was when our American dream began o! Halleluyah!!!
Ok! All necessary Dox were sent to KCC as couple. And 2nd NL came n preparation n prayers began. And 7th July came and God perfected it. Did all d security protocol and entered d hall with our B409 number. My maiden name was called and I went to d window n d woman took my passport and changed it to my hubbys name. Na so we submit Dox o n our passport foto almost throw us off balance as we no quick see am,we sha saw it later sha.
Waiting o! That was how my NL sister Giftedhand tapped me n introduced herself n pointed Itroyal n family to me. Ok sha I don see my family member I happy.
About 11:30ish na so our number beeped @ window 18 whr d honourable dreaded Korean guy was! Hmm! And dis guy has refused a lot of couple o n he was not smiling @ all but me,i was prepared for him sha and again d guy try o cos d oda lady wey dey window 16 was so slow,so it was as if it was d Korean guy that was doing all d work.
We took d oat n did our finger print n signed our forms. Na so Mr Oyinbo asked my hubby to go 1 corner o I come pick receiver! CO: what's ur name Me: I 1st lost...ok I tell am CO: whr do u work Me: I tell am Co: ur current post @ ur work place Me: I tell am Na so CO dey ask me my educational history n work history. CO: he was actually smiling all tru tho n a bit playful sha,he asked me to call my hubby n I should take my seat. He asked my hubby all he asked me and was even providing answers for him and telling him he doesn't need to give d year has it were. Then I was called and he said our Visa has bn approved! I said OK and said will like to ask him some questions,told him I would like to have my child in Nigeria before we travel and that what is d procedure to get d child's Visa,na so Oyinbo stood up to go ask o,and came back to tell Us how to go abt it and then gave us the white papers that I've always looked forward to. Na so we smile comot o,Cheering with all the friends we made there and gave a resounding Hi5 to my NL Family. All glory to God almighty for making it possible and easy for Us. If not for God who has been on our side,this dream wouldn't have been made possible. And I'm grateful to all Naira Land peeps for dere support n contribution. God bless us all. Amen. I hope u enjoyed our story! Ciao! Congratulations my sister. Welcome on board. |
