oayombo: I beg to differ, my sis applied as single and her wedding was after the 1NL arrived. She sent back her forms after the wedding as married. The thing is this, even if the wedding was fuelled by the prospect of moving to the states...genuine couples should still be able to prove their status if they genuinely went through the stage of courtship. That asides, Gods grace is also needed. My broda u did not get my post. Never said that u will be denied visa once u marry after DV results are out even if such marraige is genuine. The presumption of marrying for DV considerations is rebutable by enof proofs by the applicant. |

Congratulations to you and your family. About the two couples that were denied, can you tell us what you observed during their interview. Thanks and welcome to America. I observed that the couple married after the DV results came at in May, so the onus was on them to prove that the marriage was not propelled by DV considerations but love for each other. But they were not able to rebut that presumption. My advice is that if u entered single you must remain single except you can rebut that presumption. The onus is on you to so do. Be wise |

Sori fellow forumites for posting my interview experience late,it was due to circumstances beyond my control. Last week Monday ,me, my wife and son had our visas approved after a successful. Ours was like a chit -chat as it were. To God be the Glory. We arrived the embassy at about 6am but had to hire chairs to wait for our interview slated for 10am. At the hour, we proceeded to the gate were security checks were effected. Once inside the hall, we paid the necessary fees and our documents checked and received. We sat down to wait for our number to be called. Behold at about 12.30pm our number beeped at Window 13 (handsome guy) who had earlier on denied 2 couples. We braced up and moved with confidence to Window 13 because greater is he who is in us that the one in the world.----- Am the principal applicant. US----Goodmorning sir CO---- Goodmorning and how are u today. US----fine CO----- Do we swear to speak the truth US----- We do. CO-----Sign this columns US---- We signed CO---- (To me) you must be a lawyer, saw that your documents are arrange orderly. ME---- Yes am sir CO---- Then you must be a good lawyer. ME--- I appreciate ur compliment sir (smiles) CO---- How long have been married ME---- I answered CO----- How did u meet ur wife ME---- I answered CO-----Why do you want to go to America ME---- I answered CO-----What is the relationship between you and your host ME---- I answered CO----- (Pointed to my son) Is that your son ME----- I answered CO-----(To wife) when did you marry WIFE---- She answered CO----- What do you do WIFE--- She answered CO-----(Giving back our original documents) Congratulations, I will give u the visas US---- Thank sir (smiles all the way) CO---- (Brought out 2 sheets"collection paper and paper for method to pay $165" and handed them over to me) when are travelling to the US ME---- I answered and added "God Bless and forever bless America" CO----- Thank you. My observation from the above is that one should be confident and relax during the course of the interview. And above all be very very Prayerful and have faith that God is in control. Please forumites join me in thanking GOD for HIS mercies in our lives. I wish everybody a successful interview ahead. The GOD that did it for US will surely do it for you. Hope to see you all at the otherside----US-----OF-----AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. |

Us: Thank you ma'am Me: How do we pay for the new fee Co: Oh, wait she went and brought a piece of paper that had all the information Us: Thank you
That was all, we left feeling pretty. By the we were interviewed all of us at the same time, she didnt say that i sit she interviews my hubby no no. CONGRATS MAN. GO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM |

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 |

f-geemomen: I woke up as early as 4 a.m, prepared and ready to face any CO at the embassy. I prayed, wore my suite and tire and set of to the embassy. I reached there exactly 5:30 a.m and looking around I was the second person to reach the embassy. I waited under the tree outside the embassy very refreshed and ready. A pastor come around where we were sitting prayed and shared the word of God with us. By the time it was 6:00 a.m a lot of people came around also waiting to be called in for interview. I had a hint to make sure I was part of the first 10 in the line so I started walking towards the gate. At 6:45 we were called in for security checks. I left all coins and mobile fon out just to avoid long hours of wait. I just went tru without any hindrance. I paid my VISA fee and my documents were checked n they collected all thus both original and photocopies. I was called to window 4. I realized that CO denied abt 3 people due to incomplete documents and other reasons...on filling my dv lottery I made a mistake in D.O.B and wrote 1990 instead of 1987, I swore an affidavit and took it along in case I was asked abt it, to be frank I was soo scared, I prayed n left all to God. CO: Gud morning Me: Gud morning CO: raise ur hand n swear to tell the whole truth Me: I did n swore CO: showed me my form I sent to KCC and asked me to answer question 41 before we continued, which was abt weda I hav been arrested b4. Me: I did n she asked me to sign beside it CO: she then made me take the oath again to tell the truth Me: I did just that CO: which year did u complete secondary school Me: I told her CO: what did u do after u completed SHS? Me: I was waiting to be admitted into the university CO: ok, how many times did you write WASSCE? Me: once CO: which University did u attend? Me: told her CO: when did you complete? Me: told her CO: what program did u study? Me: BSc Economics and Business Administration She picks up a blue sheet half of A4 paper and circled the DV and asked me to come pick up my VISA on 8th Feb 2013. CO: congratulations and thanks for coming Me: Thank you CO: dnt make any preparations until u take your VISA. Me: Ok thank you. God has really answered my prayers and that of my friends, family and everybody. I was never asked abt the DOB issue. Thanks to all who help and adviced me along the way. Ghana and Nigeria are really brodas and sisters n I tink we should combine our two countries into one cos we think the same....hahaha that's just by the way.
