Please make sure you include your spouse.

1}You can wait till after you get married and then fill the forms and send your marriage documents to KCC.
2}Alternatively you can fill the forms now and send them to KCC and after the marriage send fresh updated forms to KCC.
I will go with the first option since there is no hurry to submit the forms; realize that they will not start processing dv-2010 until after September 2009 when dv-2009 must have been completed.
If you read the Nigerian threads from 2007 till now, you will see that people get married after receiving the NL [even after getting their visa interview date] and they still receive their dv-visa at the Embassy.
It is easier to process things this way.
They will most likely ask you during the interview why you did not include your wife.
If you don't include her now, it will take about 5 years to process a green card for her after you arrive in the US-- that is 5 years before she will be allowed to join you in the US.
They will most likely deny her a visiting visa during that 5 years because having a permanent resident spouse in the US will make the visiting spouse most likely an "Intending Immigrant" {Immigrant Intent is automatically assumed}

With tensions building around the globe, it takes a multi-tiered force of highly trained, committed Soldiers to protect our freedoms and uphold democracy. This force consists of Active Duty Soldiers and Soldiers in the Army Reserve. These two groups work in tandem to create the most powerful, well-prepared fighting force in the world.


Active Duty is similar to working at a full-time civilian job. There are hours when, as a Soldier, you will be training or performing your job, and then there are off-hours when you can do what you like. For an Active Duty Soldier, your length of service can range from two to six years. Typical deployments are 12 months in length, and after six months, Soldiers are usually eligible for a two-week Rest & Relaxation (R&R) leave. The exact length of deployment depends on each unit’s specific mission.


The Army Reserve is more like a part-time job that enables you to keep your civilian career while you continue to train near home and serve your country. Many professionals as well as college students are Soldiers in the Army Reserve.

As a Soldier in the Army Reserve, you should expect to spend one weekend a month in training and attend a two-week Field Training Exercise (FTX) once a year. In times of war, Soldiers in the Army Reserve may be called up to Active Duty (“activation”) as our country’s needs require. Service options for the Army Reserve range from three to six years, depending on your Army job and where your Army Reserve Center is located.

Dotman thank you for the recap,but the misgiving i still have have about this whole thing is the guarantee that you will never be sent to the warfront and that you can walk away anytime you wish because i dont think there is ever such a privilege in the military except maybe one is in a very serious health situation that such a thing could be granted.

Gasper, my dear brother there is no guarantee that when one joins the Army you will never be send to the warfront,it is also not possible to walk away anytime you feel like.Do not forget that the character of any Armed Forces is Discipline and Loyalty,if you choose to join one is entitle to sign up for a numbers of years if you enlist for Active service which is between 2-6years and when your time is up it's bye-bye to the Army.During the course of your commiting to serve for a specific numbers of years you can be posted to the WARFRONTS!! which can be Afghanistan or Iraq,but as a Naija man Bidemi12 said and i quote 'that is why there is no Nigerians in the Marines',IF YOU CHOOSE TO ENLIST SUPPORT THOSE FIGHTING THE WAR FROM BEHIND THE WARFRONT.

Smallacrimose, i agreed with your submission that the Army forces is not for everyone, if you choose to join, one should be prepared to lay down their lives, which is the truth, but like i said it is not everyone that join the Army that dies, when you are not joining the Marines, i am talking about joining the support service within the Army. Let us think outside the box and stop fitting into the regular stuff, we can do better,it does not have to be the Army,but for those who have got age on their side,it just might be the turning point in their life for greatness, let's not discard what Bidemi12 posted to the dustbin. 1) you choose the job you will do in the army. It does not matter what job, they will train you. if you score over 50 in the asvab exam you are guaranteed almost any job e.g engineer. aircraft engineer, mechanic, pastor, communications, computer networking etc. you name it they will train you. And i'm talking masters degree level training. If na fight you wan fight na you go choose. Na only marine no de choose. once you sign up for the marines you are guaranteed war front. thats why there are no Nigerians in the marines. I believe we are all entitle to our opinion and when an advise is been given we've got the right either to choose and follow it or ignore it the choice is yours. All the very best in all your endeavours;)

thanks dotman, what you are saying is so true but there is no free meal anywhere. I agree to joining the army if you stay as a support system. I also did not say bidemi12 is wrong, i said he was not saying the full story. Yes the army is an option, especially for people in the technical field. People have the right to be informed about this opportunity and act on them if it fits their lifestyle. But it is not all rosy, i have several friends that dropped out of the army/marine/navy because they could not cope or just thought it was not worth it. If anyone wishes to join the army please do but leave honorably.
 
Am new to this forum. I wrote the WAEC in 2003 then in a public secondary school. I wrote it again in 2004 as a private student. In 2003 i performed badly with just 3 credits. In 2004 I passed all the subjects with 8 credits. Do i have to submit both results when going for the interview or do I have to submit the current one which I wrote in 2004.

Welcome to this forum, you are at the right place. Go for the interview with the 2004 WAEC results that you passed all the 8 subjects, you dont need the one u sat for in 2003 at all.

I graduated from secondary school in 2003. Like I said earlier wont the consular officer ask also for my secondary school results to confirm that I at least graduated from that school. The one I wrote in 2004 was as a private student.

It can affect someones chances of getting the visa - assuming one is asked during the interview and cannot produce it. What they will do is to give you some weeks to provide it, and if you cannot provide it there is no way they are going to give you the visa.

It's important for one to go to the interview with all necessary documents. I'm saying this in view of the ongoing issue whether they could deny one VISA on the basis of his/ her inability to provide AOS. I would like to say that it's very possible for one to be denied VISA. I know of a Ghanaian (single guy) who was selected for further processing for the DV2006 fiscal year. He had no contact in the U.S. This guy lives abroad as well but not in the U.S. But because he had no contact in the States, he had sought the assistance of some of his trusted friends who promised to use their contacts in the States to get him AOS but failed to fulfill their promises. Eventually, he could not provide the AOS when it was requested on his day of interview. Although he was given sometime to provide it, but when he couldn't provide it he was denied the VISA. So it is important for one to endeavour to have all the required documents prior to the day of his/ her interview. If some single guy out there could be denied a VISA for that reason it stands to reason that it could happen to anybody. That some people have succeeded without must not override the importance of such document to DV applicants. However, so far, I haven't seen where it's mentioned. I don't know if it would mentioned in the second letter. If it's not mentioned, then it stands to reason that it's not a requirement. Otherwise I would advice every DV applicant to get his/ hers ready.
