Well for me I don't think that DV lottery winners went for interview today. We just presented ourselves and documents, and the visas were approved
We got to the embassy at exactly 6:05am because we needed to take our extra passport pictures. After the picture we went to sit under the trees. I could estimate the number of people coming for interview around 60 and at 7:45am we were called to queue. We were separated into immigrant and non immigrants, and the usual checking of names and other security checks followed. Like it has been the practice all phones and other electronic gadgets were taken at the entrance.
Inside we were called to window 1 a form was given to us fill and pay the amount in relation to our case. I was frustrated by the cashier cos he wants the exact amount you are paying nothing more or less, and myself and other dv winners had 100 and 50 dollar notes and he wont take part dollars and part cedis so we had to leave the embassy to labone coffee shop there about to break the 50 dollar notes down. Inside the embassy this cashier(man) had to use magnifying glass to check the dollar I am paying frustrating me the more cos I just wanted to be in a relax mood before I get to the CO.
Some DV guy was tense up about this affidavit of support and I spoke of the forum to him and assured him that it will not be needed, cos the forum members made enquirers and were told it was not needed.
After the payment we presented our documents both original and photocopy and to wait, and I saw my initial entry information, the forms and picture we sent KCC after winning. DV winner were about 8 including me, all of us had our interview at window 5, and I with my wife and son were the last to interviewed and no dv winner spent up to 5 minute at the window I could estimate 2 or 3 minutes, or at most 4minutes for the DV winner and all of us left with the visa pick up tickets. Now to my interview
