DV 2009 Lucky winners from Nigeria

medical test

Samko,

hi all,

I will urge you to come in for your medicals atleast 4 weeks prior to the date of your interview, cos there are usually a lot of people there, and Kamoras has disappointed some peole (information reaching me) so give it 4 weeks, 2 weeks is to small.
You can come in, and travel back if you're too busy.

thanks livewire,

nearly missed your response amidst the numerous posts. I have made adjustment in my travelling plan. looking through the dates in members profile most completed the medical in 3 weeks. so I will travel to nigeria either 4th or 5th october.the interview is 27th october. the medical test should not actually take that long, wonder what the problem is at kamorass. these are things that should not take three days if well planned.
please does kamorass work and atttend to DV applicant on saturday as indicated a document posted on the forum? does one need a special booked appointment to start the medical at Kamorass?
Ogulism , how far have you gone with the medicals? and please lets know what you are going through with respect to the medical.

Medical Test Question...

I have a quick question...

Does anyone know how long the interval is between MMR vaccinations (Usually 2 doses) at Kamorass...

Could this be the reason why it takes 3 weeks to get a 3 day Medical Test done?

 

[ogulism]

Hello Every1,
as regards the procedure at Kamorass..one the first day,our blood samples were collected and we did x-ray.we were asked to come back on the 16th for the Vaccines...i would like to say that the reception and totally arrengment at the Clinic is quite commendable...the key is getting there ontime[say 7am][Samko,hope i have answered ur question?]

hi Ogulism,

was any reason given for the long duration(12 days),between the first appointment and the second appointment? Is the medical exam going to be done on the day of vacination?

i guess it has to do with the urgency...i believed we were asked to come back that long because our date was still far...a lady who had her date on last friday was asked to come back the next day.but it's better to start early,though

Hi all, i just got hold of this forum today and must say am hapy with the contributions in here. Am Kong currently studying in the UK. I won DV 2009 and got my notification late match 2008. I sent the reply one week later and i just got the second NL and my interview is scheduled for oct 1 2008.
I would like to seek your advise on this. On the first form i gave the date when i will b through with my BA which was Sept 2008 but indicated the BA will be pending. But is rather unfortunate i could not finish on the aforementioned date because i caught ill and could write my thesis.
Any one can help me on this.....what advise would you give me if am asked for the BA though i will carry my transcript along. Please i need your opinion

DV 2009 winner from Egypt

Any idea what does a regional cut-off number means related to my CN number?

knowing that my CN Number is 2009AF00022XXX and cut-off for Egypt in October 2008 is 3,100 .. does this means that they've to reach a number higher than 22XXX for me to be included?

is it the same case for other African countries?

Assuming that Africa and Europe and other zones do have their own abbriviations, this means that same number can be repeated in different zones?

for example:

2009AF00001234 in Africa and same 2009EU00001234 in Euope can be exist?

Do not be afraid of the Interview, it is just a mare discussion between you and the consular.
Do Not say lies.
Practice those questions you will be expecting from the consular.

Notify kcc before your interview if you observe any error in your form.
Embassy has no reason to deny you Visa so long as your documents are Okay. And you do not have any error in your form.
You do not need Affidavit of support if you are single

Hi,

I don't think you really need that, the requirement they need you to meet is the high school and not BA. Meanwhile, you might be ask if you're through with your BA, if so just say the truth that you couldn't finish now due to circumstances beyond your control but you're on it and expect to finish so so so time, finish.

All you need to concentrate on is getting your documents together and preparing for the interview 'cos it is pretty close than you think.

Meanwhile Bros, i'm based in the UK 2 and i'll need us to connect if you don't mind to rub minds and ideas. If you care mail me on anjibobo@yahoo.com

Good Luck.

See the links below for detail, i think you'll still have to get it if you've stayed there for more than 6months and after age 16 i think.

This is really surprising, there's a sudden jump this year from Oct. 3300 to Nov. 6000 for Nigeria, thats great, this means so many DV2009 winners will have the opportunity to be current this year unlike Dv2008 winners..

4real4u, kongrats as i see you're current for November.

Preparation has started for you.

 

[joemetry]

I beleive this sudden jump has nothing to do with how many people will be qualified this year.

It is just a matter of Nigerian people who are under the CN 6,000 this year are much less than those of last year. Doesn't really means that December will be of the same rate too, it could be bigger jump or could be much less

I beleive that the CN is never repeated in all regions meaning there is no 2009AF00001001 and 2009EU00001001 ... the two letter abbreviation has no effect on the CN, that is why we see people of a high CN that reaches 84XXX this number can't be repeated in 2 zones otherwise the DV selectees will be much bigger than 100,000 which is not the case .. I beleive all countries who have selectees more than 3,500 each .. they'll have the same issue like Nigeria. I guess Egypt is a good example this year.

 

[4real4u]

Yeah, i'm in

Yeah, i'm in this time. I wish so but the fact that it jumps this time doesn't mean it will keep going up. Lets see what December says then we can make an assumption.

I'll be starting my medicals soon, since i can do it without the 2nd NL as the doctors confirmed. I should have but i was supposed to go Offshore next Monday for 2weeks but shifted for some reasons, so i'm good to go ahead now.

Thanks

Good Luck to everyone.
