DV-2010 Winners from Ghana

i was really impressed when visited the nigeria thread yesterday. And i was really shocked about the whole thing. and to my amazement i saw ammeck09 also contributing to their thread too. thanx man for the good job u r doing for this forum. bt. ghanaians lets back up bcos those nigerians really mean business for this dv thing. its like they share all their experiences. even those who were refused visa still share their experience. and my advice for all of us about to go for interview is to prepare well, like basic knowledge in Maths, English, Science and the Elective subjects, lets say some basic definitions in the SSS courses.

And also some general information about your sponsor, where he/she lives, works and stuff.

please lets make this our forum a successful one.

Hi computek09,
Anytime I have a spare time, I go through all the thread in the forum and if I think there is a particular thread that i can comtribute, I don't hesitate to do so. Reading other country's thread also enhances our success in the interview.

As you have said above, we need to constantly revise our past studies so as not to be found wanting during the interview - especially when the questions are based on our qualifications.
 
U would have really miss a lot if you did not visit the Nigerian thread before your interview day. They are really doing a good job and we all must congratulate them. For ammeck09, he’s more than immigration lawyer. He’s the pivot of our thread. We must congratulate him too.

Lol, I'm here to help myself and the rest of the forumers - congratulation must wait until all of us receive our visas.
 
alexee,

Thanks, i am a Nigerian, i go through the Ghanian thread every week. In doing so i have gotten alot of experiences, the most valuable one to me was when i read how US embassy in Ghana danied some persons because in their First letter the name and address where they ought to stay in the states was different from the name in their Affidavit of Support.

I would have landed myself into the same stress, instead i sent a mail to KCC for change of name and address where my family and i would live in the states to correspond with the name and address of the person that would evetually provide us with the AOS.

In a nut shell, it will be profitable for both countries to try as much as possible to be visiting each thread. You never can say.

However today is my birhtday.

One Love.

Happy belated birthdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay joequi. Happy to know you do read the Ghanaian thread.

You can change it at any time, and in this situation it's better to contact the embassy before you go for your interview.

I agree with ammeck09, you need to contact the embassy in Accra since your doc. have been sent there.
It is better for them to be updated before the interview date.

You need to contact them well in advance - say two weeks before your interview since it takes time for the embassy to read emails and update your information. Five days to me is too short for your data to be updated by them.
 
hi mykoko,
just keep on praying for you, the d-day is getting closer. hope you are well.

Hi ammeck09,

I agree with u totally. We have to pray for mykoko and computeck. Whilst computeck will go for his interview on the 28th or 29th mykoko will also pick up his visa on the 2nd.

Let's remember them in our prayers.
