Hello Every one, God has done it! It was miraculous and still like a dream to me having a successful interview today @ the embassy. I slept in a friend's house on the island in order to bit traffic. I got to the embassy 6:05am and to my suprise many people were already there. I was given DV 2 and asked to go in and i was asked to pay $775, getting infront of the cashier, i heard my name called on the speakers, i was afraid, because it was as if they were mornitoring me to get in and call my name, it was as when God was calling Samuel in the Bible, i went to window 5 where i was called and the Nigerian lady asked me to go pay and come back which i did, she wasn't nice at all, then she told me to sit till i was called. 9:00am i was called to window 9, the consular was a black American, who looks like a Nigerian. This is the details of my interview experience:
Me: Goodmorning ma
Consular: Goodmorning!
Consular: Pls do raise your right hand and take this oak after me
Me: Bla, bla, bla......
Consular: Pls take your finger prints
Me: I did
Consular: Pls do sign your form
Me: I did
Consular: Have you ever applied for a Visa?

Consular: CONGRATULATION YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO ENTER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Take this paper to collect your visa next tuesday by 2.00pm
Me: Thank you ma and i smiled!
It is a great testimony because i was not asked my Birth date, place of birth e.t.c, just my O'level cert., NPC birth cert. and letter from the school. My worries about having applied b4 was not a problem at all and the whole thing took about 5 minutes.
I got outside and kneed to give glory to God. HE HAS PERFECTED WHAT HE HAS STARTED IN MY LIFE!!!
I pray that every other members awaiting interviews will come back and give testimonies in Jesus Name.

The next bulletin i.e. September will probably come out anytime from today maybe tomorrow 13th August.
The 2 months covered will be September (last month for DV2008 which is already known) and the Advance notice for October which will indicate the first cut-off number for DV2009.
My guess is that the Advance notice for October2008, the cut-off is 6,700.
i Just Came Back From The Visa Pick-up, Its Just God.
My Interview Experience Was Exiting Because Of Initial Fear Of Name Rearrangement Of My 1st Daughter From Olu Ayom V In The Initial Entry To Vic Olu (omitting Ayom From The Passport & Returned Ds-230 Forms), No Reference Was Made To It During The Interview Though I Was Called On The 5th August (day After Interview) That I Did Not Complete Form For One Of My Children Which I Debunked Immediately Giving Details Over The Phone.

nigeria 18,450
Yes I Went To The Site This Morning (14 July 2008) And The Above Figure/cut-off Number Is Correct.
But My Question Is What Happens To People Who Have Above This Number (18,450)?
hello every body how are you doing.? please you guys should bear with me for not being constant.
1. Does delta Air Lines fly from Lagos Direct to New York and how much?
2. I have a friend who is 2009 Dv winner with case number 14xx.
But he has no Waec and has just registered for the up coming GCE. now because of fear of becoming current when the GCE result is not yet out, he is still with the form.
What do you think?
Delay the form more?
or
Send the form now Before it becomes late?
visa bulletin for october and september
Good luck guys
For October, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2009 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number:
Region All DV Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed Separately
AFRICA 6,900 Egypt 3,100
Ethiopia 3,600
Nigeria 3,350
ASIA 2,900
EUROPE 6,600
NORTH AMERICA (BAHAMAS) 2
OCEANIA 200
SOUTH AMERICA, and the CARIBBEAN 375
the cut-off 4 nigeria is low and we know what that means. Less available visa 4 nigerians this 2009 fiscal yr.
What assumptions/calculations did you make/do to reach your conclusion? 'cos looking at DV2007 the 1st (sept. yr b4) cut-off was 2,700 and it still ended with 20,700 (aug. following year). So it doesn't really matter, it's solely left to the discretion of the people in charge i believe based on their calculations.
Hello everybody,
I am a DV 2009 winner.I have 2 issues that have been giving me sleepless nights concerning my case.
1. I made a mistake on my form DS-230, i filled in the wrong DOB ( 1982 ) but i actually played the lottery with 1980.After noticing this mistake,i called KCC and i was instructed to fill a new Form DS-230 with all the correct info and attach a small note stating that there was a mistake in my first form.I have filled the new Form and sent it back to KCC using fedex about 2 months ago.
I want to know if this would pose any problems for me during my interview.Please help me out with any advice u can give me .I am scared that the counsular might want to make reference to the old form with the mistake !
2.Secondly,i have lost my original waec certificate.I went to WAEC office to get a new one but i was told that it can only be issued once.I was palnning on going with the statement of result from my secondary school and a WAEC scratch card on the day of my interview.I would also get an affidavit stating that my original certificate is missing. Please let me know what you think and if u have any other suggestion for me.
Thanks. Please respond !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
