Hello People!

Hi all,

My wife and I are graduates and this was filled in the DS230 forms sent to KCC

I am the principal applicant and all my certificates (WAEC,BSC) However, my wifes BSC certificates are not with her she has no collected it from her school
She can go and pick it up but she is nursing a baby and this our roads are terrible (Lagos-Benin)
WILL THIS AFFECT OUR INTERVIEW IF WE DO NOT GO WITH IT.

I await first hand experience from those who have had the interview in Lagos.

Thank you

Good morning to you all!
I have someone besides me right now, he's one of us and he needs an advise on his waec results, scenerio> he filled just one result for certain year, but on that result was just 2 credits, but he had another year that he never mentioned on his application that has about 6 credits, on the interview day does he have to go with both results or just one that wasnt on this returned forms?
Thanks and I do enjoy this great forum
Stay bless

1. is it advisable to call KCC or mail them pls tell me?

- you should email KCC and ask them about your interview date.
dont forget to write your name, case, DOB in your email.

Dear Friends,
Am grateful for your encouragement. A friend introduced me to this forum, truly you guys are doing a good job. again Livewire007,Bammyrichie and Vanessa2009 am really grateful. I do have some questions??

1. is it advisable to call KCC or mail them pls tell me?

You can Call & u can mail KCC, they are both effective ways of contacting them, in my opinion i'll prefer you call them because you will get a correct, accurate & immediate response unlike emails which might be an autoresponse and not immediate.
If you need to do your medicals and you find out you have been scheduled for an interview, email kcc, so you can use their response as a proof at the medical centre.

2. again the processing fee paid at the embassy is it in naira or dollar?

You can pay in Naira or Dollar which ever you have its acceptable, if you want to pay in naira its N124,000 i.e. ($775 * N160) ($1 = N160 embassy rate)

3. which is preferable ?

I'll advise you to pay in Naira as that will be N124,000 'cos the easiest way to get dollars in Naija is thru black market and that sells for about N180, and by goin to the black market to buy dollars u'll pay more.

4. How much is the actual fee?

$775 (N124,000) per applicant (note that every person accompany you is an applicant, even a day old baby.)

5. Do i need a sponsor or not?

Having a sponsor is not a requirement towards obtaining an immigrant visa, but you may be asked by the interviewing consular to provide an affidavit of suppoort i.e proof of sponsorship.
so if you can get one, its ok to go with it, but if not, you can attend your interview without it.
If the consular really wants it, you can tell him you will present it on another day.

6. Must he or she be bouyant enough?

Yes, your sponsor must be bouyant, you can check up www.state.gov for more info on Affidavit of support.

7. If given the visa, must i travel to the US before Sept 30?

No, After you get the visa it is valid for a period of 6months from the issue date.
but you cannot be issued a visa after Sept. 30 for the current DV year.

8. Does one have to que for ur turn in The Lagos consular office?

No, there's no que inside the embassy, once you enter at the gate, you're given a small card with a DV no. on it, and thereafter you follow this process:

- you make your payments with the cashier
- submit your documents, when your name is called
- then you wait for your DV no. to be called(the card given to you @ the gate) always be attentive.
(DV. nos are issued on first come first serve basis, so if you get to the gate early enough, you'll get a smaller no. and that means you'll be interviewd early.

Pls help me cos i need to be sure am doing the right thing since i have limited time.

If you follow all this instructions, pray to God & trust him, u're sure doin the right thing.

I wish you all the best.

All answers given are to the best of my knowledge, am not an immigration lawyer/consultant am just a contributor on the forum.

Q: Highest level of education? A: ...........

Q: Year of Graduation & school? A:...........

Q: What courses did you do in Medical school? A: 'brief tutorial'

Q: Tell me about Thoracic Surgery. (We both started laughing. he walked to the next table and returned with the almighty blue form in hand)

Q: I see one Mrs C here in ur form. what is she to u?
A: Aunt
Q: where does she live?
A: OK
Q: did she tell u anything abt OK?
A: Yeah. Not so many blacks. (He smiled and said thats true. he's from Dallas, Texas).
Q: do u have any other relatives in the US?
A: .....
I: Congratulations sir, you are eligible to immigrate to the US. Good luck in the States.

It was the Lords doing, and its still marvelous in my sight!
