ALl GHANA 2014 DV LOTTERY SELECTEES MEET HERE

Two Quick Questions

Does the embassy in Accra require parents to come along with their children weighing cards during the interview?
I have the old pink birth certificate, will that be accepted or I need to go for the new birth certificate?
Thank you, members.

Children must accompany the parents for the interview.

For the birth cert, it sounds like your country have changed the format, but it won't matter if you don't have the new type. However, what is important is that it is a long form/full birth cert (the main difference being it shows parents details).

Britsimon, thank you for your quick response to my questions. I understand that children will accompany their parents for the interview, but I want to know if weighing card is a requirement, I don't know how you call the weighing card in Britain. You are right that my country changed the format of our birth certificate. My old one is comprehensive enough to have all the details on the new one. I want to be fully sure before the day of the interview.
Thank you once again.

Ghanaman I believe an email to the embassy regarding the birth cert issue would help so we clear the air on that because I recall reading an interview of a ghanaian who was asked to get the new birth cert as @ that time in one of the ghana threads during the interview so let's check with them on that.

Short birth cert is not accepted. Long birth cert show the details of the parents and other stuffs. Weighing card is not a priority. Get yourself new birth showing all the details of you and your parents
 
UPDATE:So I called KCC on Friday to ask when I was likely to get interviewed since I did not get an interview date in my current month..Surprisingly and fortunately I got an answer..FEBRUARY...(I was just giving it a shot since they don't really give concrete answers) for those current but have not gotten a second notification letter..I suggest u call them..it's better than the emails..since they just send the same email to people who ask about their interview dates.

My pink birth cert obtained in 1996 is long one and it has all the details of the new one, including one's parents' names and father's occupation.

Lil-kay you did yourself a big favor by providing them authentic documents to support your case..Someone would have probably ignore some docs which may most likely come back to hunt them in the future..its doesn't matter how long they try to scrutinize you,once you have provided them with all the documents to support your various travels and stuff,personally i think you will be okay..just hold your hopes high,don't stress yourself,just be yourself and take everything easy.9th December is just around the corner okay..we all got your back with prayers.

I smiled as I read your consoling and affirming words. Thanks. It's not easy but like I always do say: The Lord knows best. I hope to look back 1 day and b happy of this delays and understand fully Gods purpose in all of this - 1 Cor 13:12. I need to hav a reason to rejoice over in the Lord for breaking thru late and not in my own time. We plan our ways but HE directs our steps, Prov 16:9.
How's ur own case progressing.

I strongly suggest you go for the new format of birth cert. You could get it in a week at the ministries area(birth and death registry). You can also take the weighing card, who knows if it could b of help. Wishing you all the best.
