Gentiger: This is Gentiger reporting live and direct from LOS ANGELES California. I arrived safely yesterday, 17:00 local time after about 20hrs flifgt and 6hrs layover at Istanbul.
It was a fun experience and i thank everyone who through prayers and goodwill messages made this happen. If you are coming through Los Angeles, i must prepare your mind on what to expect. I cant tell if it's the same thing everywhere else. On arrival, we were greeted by sniffing scoundrels. They had to ensure we were drugs free. We proceeded to the immigration post to have our documents and visa packets (sealed Envelope} processed. It took a while because we were about 6 of us. I issued them with a new address for the delivery of my green card. You can change the delivery address of your green card to anywhere of your choice within the US. It's not true, neither is it mandatory you must come in through the Port you specified in your form to KCC.
From the immigration post we were ushered to the customs for screening. They spent time processing us. Expect discriminatory treatment if you are an African male, Asian or Middle east. They will single you out for special attention. They did what must be done and formally welcomed us to America.
For those of you who already have your visas, hurry up and join us here. This country is a beautiful place. Nowhere in Nigeria can be compared to Los Angeles California. Those awaiting interview, i wish you success. You will surely testify. I will be back here to share my experience with gay people as a way of preparing your minds for what obtains here. Talk to you later.
Gentiger signing off. Love you all. wow wow wow i am happy to hear that you arrived safely. Thank you for assuring us again about the change of POE. I cant wait to hear more from those sides and this makes wonna jump into the next flight to that place. |

sina_adegoke: Hi house. Just came back from my visa interview. I know this is arguable, but thanks to God, it should be the shortest interview ever.
It went like this; Interviewer: Hi Me: Hi. Nice tie Interviewer: (Blushes, looks at his tie, smiles widely, then looks at me): Thanks. Interviewer: Are you Adegoke? Me: Yes, Adegoke Adesina Interviewer: Which school did u finish from? Me: OAU, Ile Ife Interviewer: When did u graduate? ME: 1999 Interviewer:Which course did u study? Me: Engineering Physics Interviewer: How come you're in banking? Me: Nigerian banks take graduates from all fields. You get trained on the job. So.... Interviewer: I was an Engineer too, and I found myself here, so I understand u Me: You don't say Interviewer: Yeah Me: Where u begin and where u end are two different things
He kept smiling all the way, almost whistling when he brought out the forms, congratulated me, & told me my visa has been approved.
My tip for those awaiting the interview is.... Follow the instructions on the website thoroughly, & be very nice & civil. It can shorten ur interview considerably.
But more importantly, be confident in God. When it's ur time to change location, then it's ur time, hopefully for d best.
I am now officially a Yankee.
Meet u guys on the other side! Nice tie you have, huh! You must be bold enough to comment on someone's dressing and you made him just look at your credentials and not ask bullcrap questions afterwards and another thing you both studied the same field. Congratulations for being BOLD enough and welcome to America. |

Please for the benefit of those of us having interview soon: using a BSc or HND as highest qualification, is it compulsory that the CERTIFICATE must be ready for the interview??

perony2002: Hello Guys,
I've received my dv immigrant visa but I'm supposed to pay for the USCIS Immigrant Fee. My problem is that I dont know what the *A Number on this ( https://www.pay.gov/paygov/forms/formInstance.html?agencyFormId=40850201 ) website is. I would be happy if any of you guys helped me out. That is your Alien Number, if you were given two piece of papers after the interview one is to congratulate you for approval of visa the green one and the other one is white US Citizen and Immigration Services on the second line it is written Your Alien Number: A............. the CO must have written it with a pen or check it out on your Immigrant Summary Sheet on the sealed envelope that you will hand over at the POE. this is how it is here in Kenya so i dont know about your country |

I am hoping that this time you will go there with genuine information and documents and be prepared for an AP because once beaten twice ....... they will want to do a thorough check up on you. e.g if you faked a college degree am hoping you went to college and graduated as in seriously and you threw away that damn paper.

f-geemomen: I want to first of all thank God for my situation because it has taught me how to be tolerant and patient. I had my interview on 4th February and was issued a green sheet to return on 8th February for my VISA, on arrival I was told my VISA was not ready, the took the sheet and handed me a white sheet putting me on Administrative Processing. On my first filling for DV 2013 I mistakenly typed 1990 instead of 1987 as date of birth so I knew they wanted to verify that I wasn't a criminal cos I wrote the correct date on the DSP form and swore an affidavit. I was soo sad and frustrated. I didn't give up, I still psyched myself, prayed and fasted. On last thursday 28th March I read abt some forumites who were also on AP and had been called. I tapped into their success and at 12:00 pm I was called by the American embassy in Ghana asking me to come to the embassy on Monday at 1pm with my letter and the passport. I went there today and we went tru the normal security checks. I was called up to one of the CO and I was asked to present my passport and that all my documents were ok. She re-issued me with a new green sheet asking me to return on friday for my VISA. I thank God for all he has done for me and I also thank all members that continue to help pple out there like me. God bless you all...to all those on AP, you will be called and you shall all be issued VISA's IJN. Sori 4 my long story tho I hope someone wud learn from my story..... Dont be sorry about your good story it will sure help a brother one of these days. Congratulations and welcome to the US of A |
