Dv 2008 Lucky Winners From Nigeria

hello,

In my case by birth certificate was issued in Surulere LGA, but filled lagos as city where i was born in the Initial DV entry. I knew lagos was a city, the world sees lagos as one, and it would be somehow filling surulere as city. I also had it at the back of my mind what my passport had as my POB, which is Lagos.

All other forms sent to KCC had Lagos, Lagos has both city and state as POB respectively to allow for consistency. But by birth certificate had surulere. If you read all my analysis, and lookups links on "Are LGAs cities or Is Lagos a city/state", you'll understand what i'm saying - Lagos is seen as a city state, while LGAs are closer to being called towns.

Since Suru-lere,which is your birth city is within Lagos state, you should be fine:)

The truth is all visas must be issued before the end of SEP the DV FY.
From the date on my visa, it was issued 27th of Sep 07.

I guess the time taken was for them to verify all the documents submitted
 
What do i do?

Thank God you agree with me that Lagos is a city. From those links i posted in the previous webpage, you see that the world sees Lagos as a city. The problem i'm having is that my Birth Certificate has Surulere Local Government has Letter Headed Paper, and it reads something like this:

I ------- of the Registry of Birth and Death at Surulere in Nigeria here by attest to the birth of ---(full names)---- born to ---(father's name)--- and ---(mother's name)--- on the ---(date of birth)--- in Surulere .....etc

This spurns a lot of confusion, because i have always filled Lagos has the city where i was born. Are LGAs really considered cities or towns? In this case what do you think i should do to get around this? You may want to check this up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Nigeria. Then click on lagos, and scroll down to Administration and Demographics.

Who am I not to give consideration to my fellow human beings and especially God's own creation? It is only I don't have people to give me Awe meat, simply because what you don't have you can not eat.

MODEST said:
u can change ur sponsor. u compulsorily need an affidavit of support, u may not go with it during ur interview, but that will delay ur visa, as u will have to go back to complete ur process
if u want ur wife to join u later, it is ok. but pls make sure u guys attend the interview together, the visa is 6 months, so she can join u before the expiration of the visa

modest may God bless u and ur family,i can still try to get another sponsor till my interview date
 
jcries, i am so very 2much amazingly delightedly and fabulously happy for . from the previous sentence you van see dat i lack the adequate words, to explain the level of joy i feel on ur success. once again congratulation.
oluko(teacher) dont 4get to carry ur cane along wit u
 
onoriode and other who have had succesful interview, i congratulate all of you on your success. and wish u speedy arrival to the US
 
house, i want us to decide on the lagos being a city or state issue and take a unilateral decision on what to do? different schools of thought within the house are contesting a "Consistency Vs Factual" arguement. I am in a fix bcos, i was also born in lagos Ikeja and my POB according to the DSP forms are lagos, i cant recall wat i filled in the DV forms, cos i didnt fill it myself online. and im about getting an international passport so i really need a UNILATERAL DIRECTION so dat we can go with the flo while applying for an int passport. i also want to find out from the house esp from any one who has recently gotten the new visa wat the immigration people eventually put on the passport interms of POB i.e (the LGA thau filled or just Lagos)
 
u are ok
