U can see the experience of this couples also:

Hi

I went to the interview with my wife, who is a DV lottery winner. We have been married for ten years. Our interview was in London in August 2010. They didn't ask for any additional documents or evidence of marriage such as wedding photos etc. What you should bring with you to the interview are the documents listed in the NL. Naturally, marriage certificate is very important as it is the official document that proofs your marriage.

Because my wife is the DV lottery winner, she was asked lots of "tricky" questions in the interview. For example: when did you get your high school diploma? When I tried to help her, the officer got angry because I am not the winner but my wife is. Therefore, I shouldn't say anything and she must answer the questions correctly. Ok, that suited me fine.

Because my wife is the winner, they checked only her school diplomas. My wife had a high school diploma but she didn't have a document that would show the scores for each course she took in high school, so the officer became unsure if my wife's high school degree is comparable to that in the U.S. It turned out to be a problem, but we managed to sort that out. Then again, the officer started to hesitate about issuing the visa, as my wife has been house wife for the past ten years and she won't be working in the U.S. Our idea is that I will be working and she will stay home, taking care of our kids that we're planning to have after moving to the U.S.

At that point, I showed the officer my PhD diploma and a letter from my (non-US) employer explaining my position, salary and a work history of eight years in that organization. I believe there is a strong demand for my skills and experience in the U.S. and it seemed that the officer thought so, too. Once the officer saw these documents, she became convinced that my wife and I will not be a burden on U.S. social services and I will be able to get a job (and a salary) that enables our life in the United States. Only now I was allowed to speak on behalf of my wife, and the rest of the interview was between me and the officer.

nice interview
my wife is dv winner and works as a nurse but i the husband is currently unemployed, our interview is soon, do you think the co will kill me with questions?
 
@ ovicity Thank you for the response. Actually it is the wife that won the lottery. If they get a wedding certificate after the application date for the visa lottery which is last year would it not affect them?


@Lanreb, Thanks too… the advise I get here will go a long way to assist them on how to move on, yes they have a 3month old baby which they did not include when I applied for them.. it’s funny I forgot to make mention of it in my question.



@all at the moment she is still pessimistic about proceeding with the whole process. Also I forgot to mention in my question that they now have a 3month old baby which was not included when they applied for the lottery… Do you think the baby will be an advantage or disadvantage to them getting a visa. Please also advise on the best way to now include the new born baby that was not included when I applied for them and would there be anything like a DNA test requested from them? Thank you once again for your prompt reply.


Best regards

But I think people use to change the Naira to USD @ 160 per USD at the embassy, Has that process stopped?

I asked him severally and he said he had up to N130,000 and they never agreed to take that.Again N160/USD means N131,000 when multiplied by 819USD.So others should take note. Get ur dollar down on time so that one alhaji no go disappoint you in the tick of time.

Dont be afraid my brother. Just prepare yourself and your wife for the interview based on the list of questions i set above. The CO'S dont have time to waist,
so at most u should not spend up to 20 minutes with him. Just trust God for divine favour and make sure u coach your wife very well. Both of u should give
thesame answers on thesame questions asked by the CO. Just be prepare and practice night and day. All the best. One love!

My brother, getting a certicate of marriage from the court will never affect them cos the CO'S knows that from this part of the world, our main concern is traditional
marriage. Its either we go for traditional marraige or church wedding or we go for both. U can do your court wedding anytime as long as u av back up papers.
They can tell the CO that they urgently went for the court wedding as soon as they notice they won the lottery and its part of the official document requested to
present as marriage certificate to the embassy. They are totally safe and thank God the also have a baby to show for it.


As for the DNA tst u asked for, its capital NO. They dont request for DNA test, and YES the baby is a big advantage to them. It shows the wife was pregnant while
the lottery was onn and they is no place they ask for pregnant women to fill. I cant see how u can add a baby yet unborn to the initial application. Do u know the
sex of the baby or do u know what name u want to give the baby? They are good to go for the interview. Just teach and prepare them very well, since u are thier
guardian. One love bro!
