[size=15pt]MY INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE[/size]

Had an interview appointment at 1pm. reached the embassy at around 11:30. Waited for 1hrs and 15minutes. Then when inside the embassy had the security checked and then went inside. Took the token paid my$330 and then had my finger print taken, submitted my document. Then waited for the call of the interview. Was called half hour after the submission of document for the interview. The interview was at not at the window where other had the interview but at a special window inside a room. Got scared why this. The CO was a white lady. Went in then the interview began.

The interview lasted just 1min and I was said to collect the visa at following date. I could not believe I was asked just few question and a short time while for other it took about 5 min or more.
Learned a lot from this forum from the experience shared by all which has made my application successful.

How and where and when and how much do I have to pay for USCIS fees? And why do we have to pay?

Can anyone tell me if a sponsor letter or Welcome letter is required and if yes can any one share a sample of the letter?

Won the DV 2014 lottery. Not received the 2NL . My case number is very high. DV 2015 has opened for my country. So shall i apply for this DV2015 lottery too. So I am in a dilemma so please suggest.

The American Budget has has not been approved by the American Senate. So will it effect the DV lottery process at the embassy.

So shall I apply for the DV2015 .

komakan: Anyway, Your case number is high I will advise u to follow visa bulletin in btw 10 and 15 of every month as to knw when u will be current. You hv to be current before u can receive 2nd NL. If u are a Nigerian u can't apply for 2015 dv lottery because Nigeria is not eligible. In order to hv more knowledge. Kindly read through d past discussions of dis thread. Goodluck!

I won DV2014 CN ***35***. Have not yet received the 2NL. The DV 2015 registration has started. So shall I apply for the DV2015 also.

Journi2America: Meaning?

komakan: Oga, your message is confusing. A winner for 2014 DV and ur question is, If you can apply for Dv 2015. Pls, we are here to assist each other. Kindly make ur question clear to pple.

I am the winner for the 2014 DV lottery. Now the 2015 dv lottery has begun form 1st October. So shall I need to apply on this lottery too.

I have completed my bachelors degree and have worked for past 2and a half year. So I would like to know if I get a new job and start working in that job will I be denied a visa.

okeymen:

In a nut shell, the answer is No, it does not matter whether or not you leave your current job.

There are 2 ways to qualify for the Visa. 1 is to have the minimum 5 credits in SSCE (or any of those exams) and the other is by work experience. for work experience, you would have had to have worked in a qualifying profession for at least 2 years in the past 5 years. while it is really very difficult to qualify by work experience, it does not matter if you have not even worked at all in the past 2 years. all that matters is that sometime between say 2009 and now, you were employed in that capacity for a period of 2 years. meanwhile the reason it is difficult to qualify by work experience is because the qualifying jobs usually require a whole lot of education and most people that don't have those 5 credits will most likely be unable to cope with the qualifying jobs because the standard is generally much higher. however, there are few exceptions to the rule like any other rule.

Have won the lottery and my case number is 35*** and waiting for my 2NL letter. Now the problem is I want to leave my current job and I have sent my KCC forms stating my job at this company. Does it make any difference if I leave my current job before I receive my 2NL and be a freelancer.

Best of Luck!!!
Do write about what happened in your interview.

ernestleon: Count down to my medical 30sept to my visa interview 1oct to my visa collection 2oct.Just can't wait

Could You tell me what are the requirements for South Asia?

kevwe_flex: This is from VisaOfficer. Just felt we should know this prior to interviews, and I quote:

Good morning! We do recognize NECO results. Applicants must have 5 scores of 5 or better in 5 different subjects on the WAEC, SSCE, NECO, or NABTEB certified exams; or they can qualify with a BSC degree, HND, or OND from an accredited university or polytechnic institution.

The WAEC or NECO subjects must be academic subjects (for instance, English, biology, math, etc.). Trade subjects, such as plumbing or garment making, do not count for the DV program.

We really, really like it when applicants bring scratch cards so we can verify their results. smiley

Good luck!

Does the 2NL for the DV Lottery comes on first document sent first the 2NL comes?

Did you receive your 2NL on mail or on www.dvselectee.gov

ernestleon: Nope I don't have to come to Nigeria for my processing,the only thing I need from Nigeria is The Police Character Certificate and I have that.

I think both of us are doomed because removing lamination are very hard task and may also damage the certificate. I don't know what am i doing with my certificate too. Reply what is done to remove it without destroying
.

Vikktorr:

Well, I heard removing the lamination might destroy the certificate. Never tried this before though?

Suretreasure: Don't worry Bro, I also got the same reply but they later sent a mail to me which confirm that they receive the application. They should reply you in 5-7 working days (weekdays).
