Dv 2008 Lucky Winners From Nigeria

Hello House, please could someone give his opinion on choosing to settle down in any of these States in America; New Jersey, Maryland and Tennessee, as our departure date is approaching.


It might be difficult for someone to suggest where to settle without knowing exactly what your expectations are, so please let the house know exactly what you want.It could be Employement,cost of living,social life,etc. Thanks!!

Abeku thanks. My consideration are employment, education and cost of living. I have relatives/friends in those States i mentioned who are ready to accomodate us in the interim.

Kcc Feedback!

I sent an email to KCC stating that i suspect that i might have made a mistake on my sons date of birth based on the file copy of the submitted forms to them that was reading a different date.

Also attached my sons birth certificate.

Aywire,
Congrats on ur successful interview on 19/6/08. That was quite stort--- It shows what God Amighty could do! Just trust in HIM.
 
Abeku thanks. My consideration are employment, education and cost of living. I have relatives/friends in those States i mentioned who are ready to accomodate us in the interim.
For a new person you probably need Maryland or New Jersey for job/career opportunities which is critical for your ultimate independence. New Jersey has a slight edge because it is close to the bigger job market in New York. But Maryland is also close to the job markets in Virginia and DC.
I prefer the smaller towns in Tennesse for family life= slow pace, low crime, low cost of living.
 
Document & NPC document

Please did u need photocopy of documents or just the originals?

Please i need answer to my enquiry about whether photocopies of documents are required and what should be the name (Maiden or present) of my wifeon the NPC birth attestation?

Photcopies are required, otherwise they will not give you back your originals.
The last thing I remember from previous discussions is that the NPC certificate will have your wife's married name, but will also state her parents' names. Anybody to shed more light on this?
 
Just be careful ooo

I just want to sonud a warning when one goes for interview,do not point any mistake or error to the consular but be prepared to answer Q when thay ask any Q cos when u do they may think u wanna deceive them,ok!
Success wishes to pple that are current.
 
don't bother your self

It means they will include the mail in ur case,u will see the copy of the mail on ur interview.
 
I NEED TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION

tHE PACKAGE WE ARE GIVEN FOR THE POE, IS IT SUPPOSE TO BE IN HAND LUGGAGE OR IN THE CHECKED LUGGAGE.

I WAS TOLD AT THE EMBASSY TO CHECK IT IN WITH LUGGUGE AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED COS IT CAN GET DAMAGE WHEN YOUR HANDLUGGAGE GOES THROUGH THE XRAY MACHINE AT THE AIRPORT.

CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS BECOS I AM DUE TO LEAVE IN JUST A FEW DAYS TIME.

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE THAT HAVE HAD SUCCCESSFUL INTERVIEW THIS MONTH OF JUNE.

Please can somebody help with the basic list of important documents to photocopied along with the original during the interview to avoid unnecessary documentation?
 
medicals

Rashbabee


Please how long did it take to do you medicals?

How much did it cost you, i mean the medicals?

how much did you also pay when you got to the embassy in london?

All in all how much was the overall amount?

Does the embassy accept solo card or strictly master card?

what is the name of the hospital in question and how long will it take to collect the result of the medicals?


\Thanks

Any document that you will have to show immigration should be carried on your person and never in a checked luggage, since luggages can be lost and damaged. In your travels you should always have a carry-on (personal bag) that contain your important documents and is easily accessible. This include your passport, birth certificate, etc..

Your second package will contain the list of documents you need to photocopy and the order you have to arrange them. Keep cool.
