Dv 2007 winners From Nigeria

Hello Baba Agba, i have always read your post and i think you can be of help to me too. I am a 2008 DV winner and in filling my forms, i mistakenly sighed the item 35 of my DS-230 part II form, which states that i must not sign until instructed to do so, but in my been carefully of signing the other forms i signed it and i have send it back to Kentucky, i just discovered this mistake, hoipe it will not affect my application.... And my case number is 2008AF15... when am i likely to be called for my interview/

Thanks


You have succeded in giving these guys a chance of calling you Nigerian, we still lack READING attitude or should i say reading culture, you should have read the instructions carefully before filling anything on the forms, honestly i don't know watz up here, there is a place in one of the forms that says failure to sign the form leads to automatic disqualification, i don't know if it is the same as this because they said you should not sign until you are told to do so at the time of interview, i hope not. Write them and tell them about it so that they can make necessary corrections on time. I wish you good luck.
 
Hi shelnkid,
Thank you for this article, i read through and i tell you its quite fascinating, just as it is even in Nigeria, everybody has one story or the other to tell, i pray that God in his infinite mercies will grant us all the empowerment to tell a good story in all our endeavours, know that life it self is a risk.
Throughout the article i found the caption where the writer said

''All of our stories about our American experience are interesting stories for they are stories of strength. They are stories of progress and examples of what can be accomplished when individuals rise and have faith in themselves and their abilities'' so good and encouraging.
God will bless Nigeria too to the level that people all over the world will come here to settle for real. Amen


Thanks alot Pastor.When i came across the article, i felt i owe it to all members of the house to make it available in our forum.

hi guys,
it has been long i got the opportunity to come online to contribute my own, well i want to say that live in America has been so good , but i understand that you must start somewhere to get to the top. i am now working and really hoping for the best,but be sure that in america you must be ready to work hard to acheive you dreams and aspirations. i now understand why dollar is refered to hard currency. Just be sure to work and earn whatever u intend to make in the states. I currently have just one job which i do in the night still looking for a day job. i pray for you all that are yet to attend interview that u all will be successful in Jesus name Amen.

Congratulations yosab.
 
Hi everyone, God Blees Us All. Ive been a secret member of this great forum. I did my interview on the 17th of May, 2007, and thank God i my visa was approved. My questions were not so hard, just personal things like my name, place of birth, university attended, course studied, my project topic and a few queations aabout the project, if i have anyone in the states, if this is my 1st time of playing the lottery. Anyway the woman was so nice, smiling all the way. Well its God that helped me cos ive always prayed for a good person to interview me and God had mercy on me and answered my prayers, the prayers of this sinner. God is very wonderful. When i left there, i was just saying God thank u for answering my prayers. It was like a miracle, bcos what i prayed for came to pass. God loves me, and loves u all, so just pray and believe bcos he did it 4 me, he will surely do it for every one who believes. Thanks
 
For those of us who r in the states already, must i go to the place i filled in my form? I actually filled i was going to stay in Florida with my cousin, but now my aunt wants me to stay with her in Georgia, so must I go to Florida first? I reaally want to know. Which airlines r safe to use? Thanks
 
Birth Certificate

Hi Everyone,

My mum told me my birthday was 9th February and fiilled that in my original electronic lottery form. When the sumarise my data I found out 9th was a saturday meanwhile she said I was born on a sunday. And this happened to be 10. I wrote the KCC about this but they have not replied me. When I asked my mum to send me the original birth cert, I found out that the date on it is 17th. I don't know whether to write them about this. What do you guys thing....My interview is most like going to be in August.

You can switch to Georgia or anywhere else; just inform the immigration officer at your Port of Entry so that your Green card can be sent to Georgia and not Florida.
KLM/British Airways are good; but no direct flights. North American Airlines have direct flights, but they seem to leave Lagos at 1a.m.
 
Need clarification

Hi Everyone,

My mum told me my birthday was 9th February and fiilled that in my original electronic lottery form. When the sumarise my data I found out 9th was a saturday meanwhile she said I was born on a sunday. And this happened to be 10. I wrote the KCC about this but they have not replied me.

What do you guys thing....My interview is most like going to be in August.
This uncertainty about your birthday is most unusual.
We need clarification of this case since most of us can tell our birthday from nursery school.
This could be a major problem because the embassy may see it as a case of multiple identity/ multiple DV lottery submissions with different birthdays.
I guess it is okay to write KCC now and get a written response from them which you can take to the embassy for your interview.
Like it or not, this issue will raise a red flag during your interview and you will need to provide a honest, credible explanation to the embassy officer.

Red flag

Thanks mamaJ, you are a genius, you really are a Mama. You really took out time to give me a comprehensive response, really kind of u, am indeed very grateful. Please I will need anymore advice from you and from everyone of you on this forum. With this news of cancellation of DV programme, I do not want to jeopardize this opportunity and I believe with God on my side, shall scale thru.

Maybe I should just ask this on behalf of my friend. I have a friend who also won the DV. When entering, she entered for she and her husband alone, but now she is thinking of including a child the husband had out of wedlock to the list. She is the principal applicant and she fills that her husband and his child can have a derivative status. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Thanks to all.
I read in one of the posts sometime ago that one guy put the name of a child on his form which was not listed on his original dv lottery entry and the case was instantly diqualified; KCC did not even call him for interview. I can't find that post right now but I will re-post it when I find it.
We need more input on this, family members.
