DV 2009 Lucky winners from Nigeria

[quadratic]

Hi,
I will like to thank you for your support,but i have a news which seems to be bad.I just missed my interview today, I am suppose to go for it today but i did not just because am waiting for the second letter which was supposed to be sent to me 4/6 weeks before interview date.

I just call kcc, and they told me that my interview is today but is late already. So kcc advised me to visit the embassy inorder to reschedulle the date.

I am scared now, because they may choose date which may be too long and visa may not be available again by then. I just pray that God will help me.

Please I need your reply on what to do next and what can happen next.
Thanks,

The abbreviation 'k' refers to a thousand just like in Nigeria & most countries when it comes to money. When one is talking about drugs it's used to refer to 'kilograms'. From your post above, it's very obvious that you're referring to money, in this case remunerations for services rendered. $45k-$55k & $60k are all an alternative way of saying/writting $45,000-$55,000 & $60,000. Your hunch was right.

thanks very much for the response.That is a huge some of money for a monthly salary especially when you convert it to naira.Anyway thanks.Do you think most of our guys who are really educated get such an offer there?

yes they do, and depends on your profession. US trained engineers typically get offers between 60-90k for entry level per year. Nursing (RN)- starting salary around 60k too. Certified Accountants entry level is around that too. If you were educated in Nigeria e.g. first degree, your best option (if you are young with coming to the US with no family) is to come prepared with your transcript, go for a masters degree in your field or some kind of certification and then look for a job.

There are other routes to earning those kind of salaries too (experience and all). It will be tough in the US for the first couple of years without an education.

Thanks very much.I have a first degree.What of if i get an IT(information technology) certification before i travel to the US, would that be an advantage? And what range do you think such a person stand?

Normally You'll need more than 1 week to complete your medicals, atleast 2 weeks, try to call the clinic and explain to them, they might advice you bettter. but like ur signature said:
WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

People.........................
Far from this i have a little hitch, my friend whom i used as my sponsor just lost his job, n am wondering
1. If i present what he is about to send(AOS I-134 n the rest), how good or bad will it turn out during the interview?

2. He in turn suggested talking to his pastor(R.C.C.G) in the US to see if he could help. I equally attend R.C.C.G in PH. Now i want to know if this will be a good idea?

3.I equally want to talk to my pastor too, to see if he can intercede by writing to my friends pastor for assistance. Is this necessary?

4. Again if the pastor decides to help, what will he send?(e.g AOS, Statement, Tax e.t.c or is there something else). Pls advice me if this is OK n the consequences during the interview?

call them!

Hi,
Please, am new to this forum and i will like you to correct me if i made any mistake. The main purpose of my posting here is because of my 2nd Letter,my case no. which is 2009AF00013XXX is current for this month of July and have not gotten any letter for the interview.

And they said we should be expecting our second letter 4/6 weeks before interview date as soon as our case no. is current but i wonder why have not gotten mine.

I went to the embassy in Lagos yesterday and i was asked to contact this address;-[lagosiv at state.gov] and i was also told to contact kcc which i have done but i have not received any reply from them.

Please i don't know if you know someone whose case no. is close to mine and if the person has gotten it's own 2nd letter or not. Or if there is something i still need to know.

I am really happy to get this type of forum because i know i will definetly get some help...

Thanks, I will be expecting your reply soon. Please any mistake kindly let me know.

U better call KCC cos by now u ought to have completed ur Medicals, so do not mind the amount give them a call on the number they included in ur first package which if correct should be (606) 526-7500
Good luck!

Do what u have to do

Completing ur medical is not a yardstick to being issued a visa but u just show them what u have done so far, when ur visa is approved ,the embassy will hold on to it till u complete the medicals
Do what u have to do,OK
Best wishes!

second notification letter wahala!

I find it difficult to understand why second notification letters arrive too late or at times do not arrive at all in 9ijer.Is it that our post offices are not efficient in carrying out thier duties or they are being stolen or what?Our post offices plzzzzzz!It's really disturbing!

Nipost on strike!

I learnt NIPOST OFFICIALS ARE ON STRIKE,
i would advise all those who are current to call KCC and get there dates and plead to them to mail the details to ur email address and proceed to Kamoras.

 

[Aywire]

Workers of NIPOST and National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) have embarked on a nationwide strike to press their demand for the payment of monetisation arrears. And in a bid to avert another nationwide strike, Adetokunbo Kayode, minister of labour and productivity on Thursday in Abuja hosted a meeting between management and union leaders of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).
Across the country on Thursday the gates of post offices in different states were closed by security guards as workers in the organisation stayed away.
At the General Post Office, Dugbe, Ibadan, the gates were under lock and key as street traders seized the opportunity to spread their wares across the blocked gates.
Similar situation occurred in Kaduna, Port Harcourt, Bauchi, Osogbo and Jos.

This is a sad news and difficult to believe. It shows more Nigerians are moving into the US.

I urge everybody expecting 2nd letter to expedite it by mailing and calling kcc to send it to them by email before they say visas are no longer available and they will stylishly collect ya money by inviting you for an interview just to be denied based on frivolous reasons.

Now, we've come to the end of 2009 fiscal year and i wish everybody that got the visa a happy stay in the USA and those coming behind good luck with there interview.

Byeeeeeeeeeee
