ALl GHANA 2014 DV LOTTERY SELECTEES MEET HERE

Hi guys, wish you all the best. I may pop in sometimes to contribute to this thread.

Good to hear from you ammeck09 and I must confess that i was highly inspired by the support you granted others in the 2011 thread when I went through it and we would all appreciate u popping up to give some passco lol. God be with you.
 
Passport

Guys, am currently having the old passport which will expire in 2017, can i still use it since it has not yet expired, though itz not a biometric passport.

We've already gone through this and the embassy confirmed that if a non-biometric passport would be accepted as long its valid so you are good to go but I was in the same situation and opted to go for the biometric one. All the best
 
has no one gone for interview yet? by the way.. my question is, i have laminated my affidavit which i sworn to the court that my wassce cert is mine.. is the lamination gonna take effect on me anyway. i laminated it because i dont want anything stupid to spoil it..

I believe lamination doesn't alter the authenticity or otherwise of document so its ok. I've personally done that for all my vulnerable documents to keep them safe. All the best.
 
You are good to go. The DEGREE TRANSCRIPT and INTRODUCTORY LETTER FROM EMPLOYER i don't think will be used once u have all your educational certificates and the ADDRESS IN USA should have been indicated on the DSP-230 forms you submitted to KCC, if that was done you do not need it anymore unless u want to change it at the interview. But hey once you have them go with them and the will pick what they want and give u the rest.

Thanks raphoo..

why swear that the wassce cert is yours if it bears the same name as other names on all your documents. i think you only swear an affidavit if there's reason to doubt or raise objections about your documents due to different naames or conflicting particulars etc etc...
man...just b careful u dont submit urself for further scrutiny. The more you present extraneous material the longer you visa will delay.
i would say that if the name on your certificate is not questionable or there's no other suspicious issue on the certifficate then dont submit the affidavit till it is requested OTHEWISE YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE THE C.O. REASON TO PROBE YOU FURTHER IF HE/SHE IS NOT CONVINCED. THAT COULD PUT YOU INTO THE STATE THAT I FIND MYSELF IN...IT IS VERY STRESSFUL SO IF ONLY YOU CAN AVOID CERTAIN DOCUMENTS AND STILL BE TRUTHFUL ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION AND NOT MAKE THE AUTHENTICITY OF YOUR CASE DOUBTFUL THEN PLEASE WATCH WHAT U PRESENT!!!
GO GET YOUR VISA "HANDS DOWN" / ONE TOUCH!!!
SAFE & GOOD LUCK!!!

Thank you for the advice Lilkay, I think it goes for all of us. In our quest to make sure we fulfill all the requirements sometimes we provide more than necessary and that can make us vulnerable in the hounds of the CO.

Bro thanks for your sound advice here but look @ my scenario too here, the agent repeated my middle name as my first name so my real first name didn't appear on the letter eg a name like Kwame Kwame Nkrumah instead of a realistic one like Francis Kwame Nkrumah and I have an affidavit already would that also raise eyebrows as I contacted KCC after I submitted my forms and was told to fill the dsp forms correctly. What do you guys think.
 
hi guys i hope i can send ghana cedis to the embassy to pay for my visa
am afraid i may lay my hands on fake dollars from these Forex bureaus,n that could result into problems

Gh50, your case is different, there was a mistake in filling your name on the form. KCC has advised you to do the right thing, I believe correspondence with KCC are kept on your file and will be sent to where u will be interviewed, so it won't be a problem. You need to take that affidavit with you since there was error on your initial E-DV form, you can provide the affidavit in case they raise any red flag on the inconsistency of your names. You will be fine, I believe it is a minor error, they may or may not ask any question on it.

Thanks Ghanaman for your response and I know with God on my side all is well with me. Hope you and the family are doing well.

Kwame you are good to go with the cedis don't risk getting the dollars bcos you might get a fake one. I had mine authenticated @ a bank for me so am kind of cool with that.
