2015 WINNERS FROM CAMEROON
- Thread starter boy p
- Start date
The most useful tip I got is that as a backbencher, one can do a mock medical exam early because the TB test can extend to 8 weeks if any traces are found and this will not play well for those with large CNs at the end of the fiscal year in September. However, early diagnosis will enable one to treat the condition to an inactive state and still get the visa even at the tail end of the show. So, I am out to see my Doctor here in South Africa for a mock medical exam while waiting for my turn.
Also think of what you are going to do in the USA to enhance your career. Mostly, you need a proper education to do a great job out there. Why not think of how to crack any of the graduate admission tests GRE, GMAT etc if you are of graduate standing or the college admission test SAT if you are college bound; or think of a creative idea as you wait for the visa? This will make the waiting interesting and easy; and you will have one less thing to worry about when you eventually move to the States.
I am concerned about these TESTS because our students from Cameroon and most of Africa are not used to the US system as our educational systems are mostly British style long answer essay type exam questions!
For all your test preparation needs go to Magoosh.com. EDUCATION is power - Go for it!!!

Your first place to check should have been the reciprocity page for Cameroon.
Police Records
Available. For Cameroonians, the document involved is called the "Extrait du Casier Judicaire" or Bulletin No. 3/Certificate of Non-Conviction. It is issued by the Greffier en Chef/Registrar-in-Chief of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance/Court of First Instance where the applicant was born. Anglophone Cameroonians can obtain the Certificate of Non-Conviction in Yaounde. This document shows convictions and other pertinent information or indicates 'no record' by saying in effect "person's identity verified." Under Cameroonian procedures, convictions and other records occurring anywhere in Cameroon are sent to the court in the applicant's Regional capital for filing, thus making this document effectively a national clearance. The court clerk in Yaounde also has duplicate records for persons born in Northwest, South West and Far North Regions. The applicant can obtain the Extrait in person by presenting his or her National Identity Card or birth certificate at the clerk's office, or by sending the card to an immediate relative who can take it to the office for the applicant. There may be a fee for this service.
Non-Cameroonians resident more than 6 months in Cameroon must obtain aCasier Judiciaire/Certificate of Non-Conviction from the Chief Court Clerk (Greffier en Chef) from the Ministry of Justice, Department of Criminal Affairs and Pardon, Central Index Card Service situated at the Tribunal de Premiere Instance in the Centre Administratif in Yaounde. This Casier Judiciaire can be obtained by the applicant in person, or by mailing a request to a relative or friend with the following information: name, date and place of birth, nationality, passport number and issuance information, number and date of any Cameroon visas issued, number and date of issuance of the Cameroon ID Card (Permis de Sejour), and dates of residence and address while in the district. There is a fee for this service.
I will also need COGC (Police Clearance) known as Police Character Certificate in Nigeria:
Central Criminal Registry at Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos???
as I went to University of Ibadan in Nigeria.
Also the Police Clearance in South Africa for living in South Africa.

thanks, I will
KCC replied on my worries about VB numbers for Africa that I should be patient and keep an eye on subsequent VBs and that I should disregard information from all unofficial sources. The US Department of State is the sole official organizer of the DV lottery!
I think it's very difficult to win this DV lottery. It's like a camel passing through the eye of a needle. I started playing way back in 1995 (DV-1) and have never won until this DV 2015. I helped many university friends who were uninformed about the old mail-in paper DV lottery to play and some even won in my own hands and I never won. So, God's time is the best and we shouldn't undermine it!
Cheers,

Also, since 1995, I have never met or heard of anyone in the continent of Africa who won the DV lottery and was not interviewed after applying for an immigrant visa???
The issue is that some people don't apply for the immigrant visa after winning; don't show up at interviews when booked; aren't qualified according to the dv requirements; don't follow the dv rules to the letter resulting in visa refusals as far as I know here in Africa. So, we can't blame the US Embassy in such cases.
And it is worth noting that the US government can't organize a worthless lottery because that is an efficient, respectable and reputable government.
I can say that it is possible for me to enjoy a good life anywhere in the world but I wish to move to the US because I admire the US government for creating such an enabling environment where democracy, fairness, accountability, innovation and other values are highly respected.
If I am wrong, please advise!

LOL - yeah good luck with that. The official sources are soooo reliable.
THere have been many over the years. You only have to look back to DV2014 to see many examples of people that were waiting, had applied and never got current (the cutoff for AF was 81100 and the highest AF number was over 116000).
It isn't a worthless lottery - ~50k people each year can attest to that - BUT 58000 AF selectees are too many, especially when marriages and children have swelled that number to more than 70,000! That is why high case numbers won't have a chance this year, and that is why the selectees number has been massively reduced next year.

Isn't it interesting you want us to provide guidance and clarification with regards to getting PCC when KCC already told you to "disregard information from all unofficial sources". And to think this is something they actually provided clear instructions and links to.
Frankly speaking, I'm surprised you're still posting stuff in this forum considering the tantrums you threw not too long ago demanding we delete your account.
No worries, we all want to learn something new, I thought of helping others from my country who may be lost when they come here. I have sufficient time and internet access, so I thought of participating here no matter the outcome. At least, one or two from Cameroon will gain something here.
Cheers,

That's a very sweet thought. Of course, people here have been here all along helping people from all countries including Cameroon.
("Help" also implies one needs to understand the process and what is required. Giving incorrect or misleading information is not "help".)
I understand Cameroonian culture and I know how to work with them better. My presence here and especially my photo will encourage those who stumble on this site. Most of them are sacred of the internet. I am not scared because I belong to the greatest fellowship of all, the sorority of compassion and the fraternity of service. I mean to say that I am of the Kingdom of God Almighty!
