Yeah there is name on the visa issued to anyone

kennex89: please for those that have received their visa in the past... i will like to know if names are written on the visa because there was error on the part of kcc on my last name... instead of CHIBUZOR,they wrote GHIBUZOR. my full name is UZOIGWE KENNETH CHIBUZOR. but they spelt UZOIGWE KENNETH GHIBUZOR. I have contacted them and they said i should write Lagos cos my case is with them now, and i have contacted them so no reply yet, so i will like to know if names are not written on VISAS so i dont have problem.

Wow!!!! Congrats bro.where in Maryland u dey?cos na lanham Maryland me and my wife dey.let's chat on facebook

bukiemma: Reporting live from Maryland oo... Tnk God!!! Can't wait 4 Xmas!

Congrats bro.welcome to America

olutola1: I'm sorry for delay, had to make up for my absence at work. Here it goes...

Woke up in a rush and sped to the bathroom. Apparently, the alarm has been ringing in my dreams. Just then, I woke up and realised I've been dreaming. I panicked and checked the time, it was past 2am.

I couldn't sleep again so I stayed awake for about an hour until I decided to sleep with an eye open.

Sleep took me away for a while. I got up exactly 4am at the sound of the alarm. Took my birth and dress up under 20min. I said my prayers and by 4:45am, I was out trekking from (LEGICO/Bonny camp), where I lodged, to the embassy. I got there by 5am and met several people waiting expectantly.

Let me skip the preview. I scaled through security and held my visa payment receipt, blue card and number tag with care. I perceived they were answering the elderly and applicants with derivatives. Along the line, it got confusing as people were called irrespective of who or when they arrived. Then, my number showed on widow 15; prayer answered because the CO appeared pleasant all along!
Me: Good morning
CO: Morning, I'll need to get your fingerprints, 4 fingers of your hand, of your right hand and the 2 thumbs at once.
Me: I obliged ...
CO: Good, kindly raise your right hand.
Me: Raising my right..
CO: Do you swear to tell the truth today and that every information you entered on your form is true?
Me: Yes
CO: please sign on the yellow marking..
Me: I did..
CO: Could you tell me your date of birth?
Me: I did
CO: What's your highest level of education?
Me: University degree
CO: Which course?
Me: English
CO: What year?
-All the while, she was cross-checking everything I said with what she had on her computer.
Me: May, 2007
CO: What do you do now?
Me: I told her...
CO: Where?
Me: ....Ibadan
CO: When and where did you do your NYSC?
Me: I told her...
CO: What was your task?
Me: English instructor
CO: Was it a primary or secondary School?
Me: Secondary school.
CO: When did you complete your NYSC?
Me: I told her...
CO: Is it June or July?
Me: I'm not sure,
- I discovered it was July, I'd mentioned June.
CO: Are you.married?
Me: No
CO: Any child?
Me: No
She smiled...I guess she was saying in her mind, "you're getting old boy." "Don't worry, I got plans," I told myself. She reached for two papers. She circled a portion and said pointing to the portion still smiling...
CO: Please visit this address between 5 and10 working days to pick your visa. You should consider xmas holidays too. Holding the second paper, she continued. Ensure you pay USCIS fees after receiving your visa package.
Welcome to the United States of America!
Me: Thank you, I wish you a pleasant Christmas!

I picked up the papers and left radiating with joy from the dept of my bone marrows. I'd kept my phones (I rmoved the sims) with some soldiers whom I gave 1k to share out of joy.
Had to caution myself not to bounce...lol. It's th Lord's doing and it's so marvelous in my eyes!

I'd like to appreciate every member of this forum. Gurus in the house, don't wanna mention names, much gratitude to attending to all queries. May God reward your good hearts.I also appreciate one who'd contributed one way or the other, especially the novice. Your being down to earth to ask questions gave so many others opportunity and confidence to make it at the interview.

I wish everyone waiting peace and patient heart, everyone with 2nd NL easy medical /police exams and successful interviews, everyone with visa great providence, safest flight to destination and great success in the USA! Much love...

Its not needed at all for beneficiaries except the principal applicant.all the best bro

kennex89: please for those that went to the interview as couples, i will like you to answer this question for me is it compulsory for the visa beneficiary or derviative to go with their educational certificates cos i was told it is not compulsory for deriviatives and beneficiaries , it is only compulsory for the principal applicants. though i am a graduate and i am going with my GCE,UNIVERSITY,NYSC. but my wife being the principal applicants will be going with her testimonail, and other school documents. please couples answer this cos i want to know if it was asked.

bukiemma:

Done sir.. FB name: Oladipupo Emmanuel

Hello bukiemma,I m having issues with my email inbox,kindly add me on Facebook so that we can rub minds.my email is seunpeters4real@yahoo.com

bukiemma:

Hi sir, I sent u a mail, kindly reply.. Thanks

Congratulations bro.so happy for u and or family.so which state re u going to?

mcro: Honestly, I don’t know where to start. Having played the lottery thing as a single for about 3 times without success, I was no longer motivated to try it. But my wife was unrelenting. She nagged and cajoled and entreated me and I finally capitulated but with a proviso: she must foot the bills, my transport fares inclusive. Off we went on circa Oct 28, 2012, just a few days to the deadline of the application. I then forgot all about it.
On May 1, my wife called me to inform me that I have won the visa lottery for 2014. It was like a dream. I checked by myself and confirmed it. It couldn’t have come at a better time. Travelling abroad to further my education has always been my desire, but the financial rigours involved coupled with the inherent uncertainty in granting of the visa were most discouraging. And here is an opportunity, not only to study but also to live and raise a family, God is indeed the Lord that answereth by fire. May the Lord continue to bless our women. I owe the visas to my wife.
To cut the long story short, we set out by 6:30 am to meet an appointment for 10am. Traffic wasn’t that terrible and we still had time to settle down despite having hitches about locating the car park.
We were ushered in by 9:30 am. All the security checks were observed and the payment was made. I witnessed @dahunsiolajide predicament of not having enough dollar to make his payment and I was happy when a dude bailed him out.
Window 16 used to be a dreaded window for the DV 2013 Winners with a much dreaded white woman giving people the scare of their lives with more denials than all other COs combined. But the window is now an oasis and was occupied by an elderly white man who was ‘dishing out’ the visas like ‘pure water’. May God bless him.
By the powers of prayer, after a protracted wait our number finally bleeped at Window 16. Oath-taking and fingerprinting done, the interview itself was less than 2 minutes. Here we go.
co: (looking at our baby) how old is she?
Me: sorry, it’s a he not a she.
co: (looking at the baby’s form in his hand) oh sorry, I didn’t see the second name. so how old is he?
we: three months and twenty days.
Co: what is ur highest level of education.
Me: MSc in xxxxxxx.
Co: (looking at my form in his hands) in xxxxxx yyyyyyy University.
Me: yes and that was where I had my first degree too.
Co: for how long have u known your wife?
Me: for nine years.
Co: when did you propose marriage to her.
Me: last year January during her birthday.
Co: why did it take u dt long?
Me: we were both undergraduate when we first met. It was when I was when I started working we now thought of marriage.
(All the while, he was holding two sheets of paper and now stretching them forth)
Co: ok. You will go to this address….. (for my mind I thought he wanted to say ‘to continue the interview’)
Co: (continue) there, you will pick your visas which will be ready by next week.
(If he had not added that somebody could collect the visa on our behalf I would have assumed I did not hear him well).
Co: congratulations and welcome to America.
We: thank you and God bless you.
My wife and my baby were even by my side throughout the interview. The Co did not tell her to go and sit down in order to interview me alone.
LESSON LEARNT.
1. It is not of him that wills, but of God that shows mercy. Having seen what many are doing to travel abroad by all means and having considered that I never made any spirited effort to consider travelling seriously despite that being my desire, then I have come to the conclusion that only what He wills matter, not my will.
2. By patience possess your soul. I was almost worry when I did not see my 2nl having sent my forms since early June and the receipt acknowledge on June 11. I was current in October but did not receive my 2nl until 3rd week of Oct. So to those waiting for 2nl, it will come. No one on DV 2013 thread was not called for his interview. Urs will not be an exception.
3. Preparation. Opportunity always favours the man who is prepared. Those waiting for their interview should start by reading this thread from the beginning. I started to read DV 2013 when it was around 500 posts. But I later had to go back to the beginning. I regretted I didn’t start that earlier. At least DHL wouldn’t have ‘chopped’ my money. So please if you still have the time, read some of the posts in DV 2013 thread too. You will be surprised at the guru that lies within you.
4. Prayer. The efficacy of prayer cannot be overemphasized. If there was one thing that made my interview very simple, I believed it was prayer. Since I got to know I won in May, I have set aside a day in the week to fast and pray for favour and success in the interview. Despite my deep and intense preparation for academic questions across all levels and marital-based interview, God took all the glory; no question from my preparation was asked.
Finally never stop believing. Your own miracle is on the way.
My special appreciation goes to Obatide, Madu77, G2Glory, kevwe flex, seubis, femishow, ItyRoyal and all others that have been contributing on this thread. May you never lose your own reward.
Also of the DV 2013 thread, my appreciation goes to Temmytanny, Adesojiaderemi, Jejelady, Roodboy, Gentiger, Genlion, Brightmon, Godhelpmeoooo, Leripa, obamaobama, Bussyme, Kemzone 2003, and a host of others too numerous to mention, you guys are the bomb. You won the visa for me a long time ago. May God continue to bless you in the White man’s land.
Addendum:
I am really sorry for this long epistle, I cannot just keep the joy to myself anymore. For as many that are yet to go for their interview, you will experience this joy that fills my heart and soul. Thank you and God bless.

Yeah I got the payment receipt immediately via my email address.I be sent my Facebook address to u did afternoon

G2Glory:

Congrats. Did u get payment receipt immediately? I didn't get back to me again. Wishing you all the best. See you over there.

Thanks bro.we be paid for our USCIS fee dis morning successfully.Glory be to God ALmighty.Dec
15 on my mind.lolz

Obatide:
Wishing your family and other members who will be migrating soon (G2glory, Candytos, XYZ) and others a safe Journey, it will give us pleasure if you all and others could share how you planned your logistics, including booking and other.
This lottery to me, comprises of different stages: preparation for interview, securing Visa, flight booking & other logistics, settling down & starting Afresh then securing a means of lifelihood (Job) in the USA.
God that has taking you thus far, will Conclude HIS work on all of us.
How far about the USCIS fee? I couldn't reach u on phone again.
