Dec 6,A greatday to behold,we collected a pink form with header “ United states of America Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria”.With the 1st paragraph stating “Welcome.You are now far along the way to becoming a United states citenzen!”2nd paragraph read thus “You have been found eligible to receive an immigrant visa.Please do not make any life changes or buy a plane ticket until you collect your visa(s)…blab la bla……”
Well I need to start here by thanking all of u guys, you have really tried by solving all challenges we encountered, it was as if we ve been to the interview b4 getting there.
How it all started!!! Actually my wife is the principal applicant.
6:50… We got to the embassy
Tips: please drop all your phones, cosmetic bags and items you feel u don’t need in your car or home to avoid embarrassment, in our case we had to give the phones to the Mopols which cost us little but we were happy to drop money for them afterward we got wat we wanted.
Please 2 passports showing ur 2ears is required orelse u will be turned back.I will advice you stick to the one used in the 1st letter. Opened all sealed enveloped there ooo,not at home ooo..
Entrance:… After the security check, we dropped our Appointment letter at the entrance and we were given 2 slips, one to write the principal applicant information and the other our queue number DV35.
Cashier: we were surprised that we only paid for the principal applicant alone $375, others should be paid later.
Lobby: We sat down watching ESPN till we heard our number!
Our number was call to turn in our docs. Tips: In our case we arranged all our documents separately.We were 3 applying;my wife, my daughter and I. Each of us had 2 big envelops, one for copies and the other for originals, so it was very easy for my wife to turn in all the docs.Even the guys had to ask her if she is a teacher! And all of them laughed and they gave her thumbs up for proper presentation.
We went back to our sit and we were listening to interviews!! Funny though all that were interviewed were given PINK form. No rejection, so that gave me confidence that ours too will be positive (urs too in Jesus name).
Interview: They did our thumb printing and made my wife to swear oath that all that she will say will be true.And asked me to go and sit down. Well she was asked couple of questions.
1. What is d name of your secondary school? What year did u finish secondary school?
2. Did you go to the university? Which University?What course and What was your Matric number? What year did you finish? What year did you finish your NYSC?What are you doing now?
3. What year did your sponsor gets to USA?
4. What took ur sponsor to the USA?
5. How long have you known your Husband?
6. How did you guys meet?Can i see your Photographs?
I guess that was all!!! And he congratulated her and he did not ask me the husband anything.The guy was friendly and gave her the pink form to come back and pick up our visas in a month and we should pay the balance of the Visas fee before collection.
I think I have tried to help someone, but whatever you are going to present please try as much as to be yourself.Thats the key!!! If you know it say it and if you don’t know say u don’t know but be composed and keep smiling all the time. IT IS WELL
Thanks!!!
