remkay2012: Congratulations for those who have received there visas, those who are presently current and those who are expecting there day of favour to come including our friend in the embassy for his/her visa. I pray for God almighty will favour us in this forum and we shall come out with joy and happiness.

Please, I would like house to englithing us on this issue:
1. If somebdy's visa is approved or collected after successful interview and the applicant is a female (i.e couple) and after the following day before travel the U.S and delivered a baby, how possible that the new born baby will be travelling with the family? or are they going to wait to process the baby visa or they will leave the baby for next 5year before filing for the baby. Please let talk on this

Prepare documents for the baby ie passport because the endorsement will be done on it but brother these Americans are funny ooooo. Prepare money for medical and visa for the kid dont be suprised DNA might be done, then go to your consulate office and ask the procedure. Wait a minute, why didnt you ask about this when you were there for the interview? I wish you the best

sunday45: please pals..... help me out, my CN is 10+*** and i sent my forms to kcc on October. do you think i will be among those who is going to recieve 2NL for this month visa bulleting?
This is my worry too coz i sent mine late July, but i read somewhere that they take 8 weeks to process your papers so you MIGHT not get the 2NL if you sent the forms late October but if its early October they will surely send it to you.

docbunmi: Thanks everyone. We had a 7am appt and got der @ abt 6am. We were third in line but I had to go back to drop my baby's milk and water outside cos its not alloweD. We went thru all d security checks and by d time we entered d interview hall, it was 7:11am. We paid N163,500 for d 3 of us and after abt 15mins a Nigerian woman called us @ window 13 and asked for my hubby's educational papers, our marriage cert and birth certs and police report. We were already told to open d sealed medical reports @ d gate before entering. Anyway, at this point we had a bit of issue wit my hubby's neco, d original was not in d package! Instead we packed a color copy dat looks just like d original! See shock and confusion,we asked to go get a scratch card outside but we were refused dat we cnt go outside again. Anyways we offered up some prayers and waited. Then d CO came and we were d first pple attended to
CO: good morning
WE: good morning
CO: asked for d payment slip and told us to sign and take d oath. Here, my baby was babbling and I told d CO dat "see, my baby is taking d oath too" and everyone laughed. From dat moment, it was smiles and jokes galore
CO: asked my hubby who played d lottery for him and my hubby said I did it for him and she asked me if dat was true and I agreed and went further to tell her d date I played it. She then asked my hubby wat he does for a living and asked him to explain exactly wat he does. She then asked wen we met and my husband and I told her d story, completing each odas sentences and she was just smiling. She assked wat job I do and I told her I am a doc and specialize in family med. She asked if we had pics and we showed her our wedding photo book and she loved d yoruba attire of d engagement. While, we were still flipping thru d album, she printed out a white paper and circled d first addy and said " dats fine, ur daughter is lucky to have parents so in love like u guys.congrats and welcome to america, go pick ur passports and visa nxt wk @ d circled addy. We said thanks, smiling and as we turned to leave, my baby picked up d black phone to put it in her mouth and d lady started talking baby talk to her dat even d pple waiting were laughing with us
The lesson here is dat though we had some scary moments, we kept our heads and were positive.
Success to everyone else too

monsieursam64: For those of us going for interview sooner or later, let's try as much as possible to be calm, smile and look the interviewer in the eyes (please never look down or away, this is sign of cowardness to American but sign of respect in Naija).

Reply with exact answers and never volunteer information that interviewer didn't ask for. The more you talk the more the questions, the less you talk the better for you. Even if you don't know answers try to use your head to say something closer (i believe we are good at that). May God help us!

"UNKWON" what kind of job is this tihihihihihihi anyway dont you worry about it, most people put down what they are doing currently or their Major in college even if you damn know that you might change your career. So answer yourself here, ie your current work or Concentration in the University just for the sake of the Visa. You cant dare tell the CO you dont know whatcha gonna do when you get into their land.

Spoondar, I took time to read some of your post on this forum right from the day you sign up and discovered you a got some useful information on critical issues pertaining immigration in US, very accurate and meaningful,are you presently in Us?

No, i am in Kenya waiting to go for the interview around March 2013, my information i get it from the internet, i feel like it should be accurate and if possible give links from where i got the information so that one doesnt keep on asking the same question over and over again. I always assume that the person asking the question has no idea about it so its best to explain it to him/her thoroughly and in-depth. Thank you!

Hello house, advice pls...can the person who is the principal applicant(winner of DV) decides to send his family ahead and later join say 2 months interval; having gone through necessary procedures. Or they will have to be there together?

...waiting, thank you.

By Leripa:
There's no point waiting behind as the principal winner. Your best bet is to go with them and come back later for whatever purpose or you go alone while they meet with you at a later date. This you must tell the CO during your interview.
Your family are derivatives and therefore can not enter the US before you. I stand to be corrected though.

CORRECT grin

The dependants of an Immigrant Visa may accompany the principal beneficiary, or enter the U.S. after the principal beneficiary has already entered, but never before the principal beneficiary. You are a "dependent" if you did not have a separate IV case number file (the ‘MTL number"wink, and are together on the same petition.

gog123: Hello Forumites,I am a guest in this forum, I have been reading all you postings since it started and have learnt a lot from it. I watched all the quarrels, arguments, fights,the happiness and congratulations.I have also decided that it will be selfish of me to read all the posting and not share the reason why i have been following this post.My sister and the husband with 3 kids won the lottery and had their successful interview today. The husband is the principal applicant, we were having so many doubt because his highest qualification is olevel but decided to put it in the hands of God, not only is he Olevel but he finished secondary school in the early eighties with two credits without math or english.Later in early 2000 he did Neco with only 3 credits including only english.
I have been preparing them with the questions I get from this forum, this is also where I found out that visa has gone down to $330, I knew last year was $819. I have also headrd a lot about this black angel at the embassy, he said she was the one that attended to them.To cut the long story short, this was how it went.
Co: Raise yr hand and say after me ...
Husband: Repeated after co....
Co:What is your highest level of education?
Hus: Olevel
Co:Are these your children?
hus: Yes
Co: I want to see their picture when they were babies
hus: He brought out the oictures and handed it tho her.
Co: How long have you been married ?
Hus: He told her
Co: where do you work and how long have you been there?
Hus: answered
Co: what is your job there?
Hus:Answered
Co: (Asked the wife) what kind of marriage did you do?
wife: Answered
Co: Smiling (Left and came back with a white paper telling them where and whhen to collect the visa/passport.)
That was it,infact he thought the black angel was just verifying things before the real interview will start not knowing she was already done with him. When they called to tell me, it was still like magic to them but when God is at work, there is no much story, it flows like you were made for it.From what I have seen so far if you can proof that you have at least attended secondary sch, the visa will be yours. Pls rejoice with me. US is a land opportunity, if you are hard working you will make, I am riping mine.The land is enough to contain all of us from naija,just about 3 states here will cover our land area, until our own govt will learn their lesson and change if they will. Encourage yr relations to play and continue yr good work on this forum.I wish all the upcoming interview success.

Congratulations to your sister and family, i wish them a smooth transition

It's clearly noted. My message on this board has been very consistent which is, 'go the extra mile.'. The wise ones headed. Atleast 3 clients with dashed DV lottery interviews had their matters handled for free. You have no clues as to why they were denied.That's why I am here. Pls leave me out of future side bashings. I may not take it lightly next time. I am GENTIGER!!!

I am so grateful for the information that i get here in your forum i do not come from North Africa but i just love the way you people help each other wholly heartedly. There is NO medal to be WON here therefore i would ask you to be yourself as you have always been but just let it go when you feel someone is getting into your way. “Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.”
