DV 2015 Selectees from Ghana

F-Lan said:
Well well well... i have been to the police headquarters and feel like ranting about the "mechanical" nature of the process and the numerous protocols fast-tracking documents for beneficiaries but, my rant maybe not be necessary at this time. what is important is to be cleared by the Police. i visit the place in the afternoon at 1PM based on some advice from the old dv2014 Ghana thread. met huge crowed that almost gave me heart attack. it was as if every Ghanaian citizen needed a clearance. anyway i proceeded to the main office, asked few questions, made payment, filled form, took passport pic, waited less than an hour to be called for finger prints and i was done in approximately 2:15PM. spent only 1hr 15min and report will be ready in just a week. lucky me! .Majority of the people i spoke to actually regretted going there in the morning. seems they do a lot of "protocol" or express work at that time. The pressure was down after they had launch and the process was somehow swift for me. I paid 45GHc, they didn't have cash register, receipt didn't show amount lol, no tripod for the camera used in taking the photos so most of the photos are not properly positioned. eheheh. GH!

He can never be sure till he gives it a shot. Was supposed to collect mine on the 18th (today) but went there yesterday 17th cos I was less busy and guess wat I got it. Surprisingly it was signed and stamped on the 5th..13 clear days b4 the supposed date of collection. They are unpredictable man. A lady from Somanya travelled all the way from Somanya to Accra on her supposed date of collection only to be told it wasn't ready. Twice she came and twice she was told same story. The police officer out of pity had to take her number and promised to call her when It's ready. So like I said they are unpredictable

Really unpredictable, I agree.

Hello guys,
It's a wonderful time with you all, reading and learning from DV 14 thread from start till date. I appreciate all manner of work done by everyone whome has one way or the other influence me. But most thanks goes Adonai, my God, my Lord, my Jesus Christ for how far He s brought me with you all.
Well, this my story .... To cut things short, realized I am a winner at the later part of the year somewhere May ending. Hahahaa, am a DV 14 winner though....
September 17, 2014 Wednesday was my chat day at the embassy. Got there as early enough before the schedule time; 7:30.

Just imagine how my chat went;

Me: ok
He looks on the PC and type some stuffs checked my medical report, police report, my Wassce cert and my university transcript, ok, we good to go.
Co: I will have to ask you a series of question
Me: ok, (I actually thought I heard, a serious question ... Instead of series of questions....opsss.... Never mind)
Co: are u married?
Me: no sir
Co: do u hav any kid?
Me: no sir
Co: okay ........ Have u ever sat for Waec wassce
Me: yes
Co: when was that
Me: 2007
Co: how many times
Me: once
Co: just that?
Me: yes, for the Waec mainstream
Co: What abt private (nov/dec)
Me: yes, one b somewhere
He looked on the PC to do some checkings, okay but when was that
Me: hmm, didn't register same yr I completed and missed next yr reg but I fink it's the next two yr.. That's in 2009.
Co: hav u ever applied for a visa before
Me: yes, the DV program
Co: which yr
Me: 2010
Co: is it the online DV application
Me: yuh
Co: not that one ..... Just that?
Me: yuh sir
Co: checked something on PC nd said okay, you don't need that one here. Alright you are good to go
Me: hands in pocket and patiently waiting..... For some time I thought my nov/dec mess was going to cause some p but hey guys Baba God dey for wai.
Co: what do you do now?
Me: am an administrative assistant
Co: ok, guess what?
Me: what?

Well, guys don't make them know you are even for a second nervous or anything of that sort. Master courage, talk to them like you doing to a buddy of yours, be natural, simple and precise. If you are not sure explain to him or her cos that's the only chance you hav to say whatever you have to say, so please dont blow this chance. The visa is yours, just go and pick it up. Well that's mine.. Today my silence has been broken.....

i called KCC and the lady told me of my interview date. you can call them to confirm although they have not updated www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/

Thanks for the cue @enotina. My cn is in the AF2k range and i submitted my form on the 13th of June. I just called and they told me my ds-260 has been received but has not been processed yet. @Britsimon kindly educate me on what goes into the processing of the forms. I asked the lady on the phone if by her own estimation my case could take a month or two more to process and she said it may or may not.
