No, they never requested for anything of such. They only need the documents they have listed in the instructions, they only ask of additional documents in the case of marriage couple to check how genuine the relationship is, such as marriage cert, wedding photos, children birth cert and the likes. If they need any other thing apart from the instructed documents, you will be asked to provide at the interview just as in my case they requested for DNA test. That is all
Raphoo,
If you don't mind my asking, did you include your wife and child during your eDV entry? I am trying to understand why they've asked for the DNA. DNA is expensive from what I've heard. Please us in a little bit and if possible, exactly how the interview went. Please.

Rose the problem is we weren't married during the time of registration. We were dating by then, so we registered separately as singles but got pregnant and married legally afterwards. So luckily for us one won and filled as married couples after selection when she was still pregnant. Some few days after given birth the 2nd notification (interview appointment) came so we had to file the baby as well as a beneficiary which we did at the interview. So for my case, it is a bit different from that of others and I understand it perfectly well and do not have anything against them requesting for DNA test because it so surprising and wonderful having a baby, getting married and winning the Dv lottery at the same time. Am thankful to God for this victorious year He has given me. I know some people in my situation would have leave out the new born baby for the sake of the visa but I will never deny my lovely daughter for a visa after all God knows best.
Raphoo,
That really make sense to me now. I am sure you will sail through. Good luck.
bronsted, Please where are you? we need to hear from you!
Raphoo's case is very unique. What he did is best. I believe it shall be well with him. I pray for him and other guys for success.
I salute you Raphoo, you did exactly what a man would do to protect his family. You will be fine, God will see you through.
Best of luck man. We were all hoping that you would be a little narrative with the details of your interview, if its not too much to ask.
We respect your choices though.
Hahahahaa...i lov dat part where u said "eat b4 u go there"...Raphoo, i hope ur baby wasnt starved cos other nursing mothers had to go out and feed theirs...anyway, i ate breakfast at 5am and see the time i left there, well after 12. so guys, fill ur tommy wit solid food.
chale u hav another cost at hand...DNA for 3 people??? wowwww....we're talkin thousands of cedis here...anyway if thats the price for your visa, why not pay it?
Raphoo also mentioned one thing...saying the truth...pls...no lies...i was asked questions about an attempt to travel on a workin holiday visa 8years ago. unfortunately i was refused and i confidently gave out all the answers. when the CO checked frm the database it all checked oout....no lies or tricks pls else u cld contradict urself and pay dearly for that-outright refusal.
finally, if ure payin ur fees in ghana cedis make sure u have 1 ghana cedi notes on u cos d figure is quite odd...726.00 as at 2day. som were strugglin getting change & the cashier didnt want to keep any1s change either...
NO "AFFIA-DAVIES" (Affidavit) of support, no financial document taken. infact, even the ghanaian lady who sorted out the documents gave them back to me in a way dat suggested they wer all junk...
If u dont mind, lemme say somtn.
get there in time and relax. enjoy d fresh air around.
u will b called to line up abt 30mins to time, as wit any other interview.
u go through security checks.
take a seat in the hall.
all dv applicants are called and given a slip with which to mak payment
payment is made
finger prints are taken
ur name is called.
but hey...all dont follow smoothly like dat. in between u may sit sometimes for as long as an hour b4 going to the next level.

Awwww,i was really waiting for something really different from all that was posted but God knows best. Lil-kay 12th nov is not really far so as you know prayer is the key and you wont go back and come back without the visa. All the best.
i kno gh50...but in times like dis a day is like a 1000years so imagine what 42days is like...
jus lookin up to God onto whom dis 42days is like 4.2microseconds...lol
Woooow thats great to know but if you dont mind can you kindly update us with whatever transpired over there so that our morale is boosted.
