Prepare for worst condition

Hi,

I always advice people to prepare for the worst condition and if it is the least you'll be so happy, but if you prepare for the least condition and it comes up to be the worst (God forbid) that would be a nightmare.

Nobody is here to confuse/mislead anybody, we are here to learn from one another. Aywire, you said below and mine in (bracket):

Do not mention it on d day of ur interview (Agreed, do not mention when you're not asked but what if he's asked about it he should keep quiet, is that your advice?, it won't work that way my guy) but Mushin is a province in Lagos,do u get it?Just pray,they are human beings they do not know or see everything (I agree with you but they're very good with seeing the negative, just pray to God and we'll join you to pray it doesn't come up),don't let anyone mislead uooooo (Common)

Overall, prepare your docs and yourself for the worst, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Good Luck.

I think the best solution out of this is for him to get another NPC cert and e-passport stating Mushin Lagos, if he doesnt have one yet. Should that not be an option, I am confident that prayers move mountains as we have seen from testimonies of people in the house.

You are wished the best, brother.
 
Thanks House

Thanks for advice,i'll still be thinking of about.
But in the DS -230 FORM, It stated that city or Town i think mushin is town if not a city.
Although i can still try to confuse them so far they put option in the form.
 
Mushin headache!

Hi Diamond,
I strongly advise you get a new e passport and NPC cert.If you have one already(e passport),then I will advise you get all the documents ready and be bold and confident on the day of your interview.I was born in Mushin, lagos state,Nigeria, period!Above all be prayerful:cool:
 
u see ..........

yeah,he's got to prep his documents like birth certificate issued by one primary health centre or general hospital in Mushin. Visa cases have never been the same, we should all remember that,i agreed if he has got his e-pp he shud do it and include Mushin,Lagos as his PoB.
Success wishes bro.

RE:place of Birth issue !!!

Hello House,
Kindly put me through,i am somehow confuse about the different between the city and the state.
During the online Dv lottery application period,question was asked in the online Dv form that:
Question:The city where you were born?
Answer: I wrote Mushin.

So, the DS-230 form that i sent back to KCC,question was asked aswell:
Question:The place of Birth (City or Town)?
Answer: I wrote Mushin.(i.e the same that i filled during online Dv application)

But in my international passport,it was Lagos i fill-in in the position of "Place of Birth".

Also,my NPC Birth Certificate,it was Lagos that was written in the space of "Place of Birth".

So, based on the little story i explained above,my "Place of Birth" seem/look somehow contradicting.

So if i call for interview and the consular officer ask me question concerning my"Place of Birth".
am i going to answer "Mushin only" or "Lagos only"?
OR i should said that i was born in "Mushin,Lagos State".
OR what can i mention to the consular officer?

Lastly,can someone tell me the difference between "Mushin and Lagos"
Hope this Place of Birth issue will not cause problem for me?





Hi livewire007,4real4u,eyel,Aywire,Ben Emman, Benzobenzo and all other members of the House,
I really appreciate your advice & contribution toward my success in life,to find solution to my problem inorder for to achieve "American Dream".
Concerning my issue on my Place of Birth,i think it was ignorance because i don't know before that it is Lagos they normally write in the position of Place of Birth of int'l passport and NPC Birth Certificate for Lagosian.
Although, i told the immigration officer that helped me to process my new e-passport at the immigration office that it was Mushin i want to write in the position of the Place of Birth of my e-passport,because i knew that i wrote Mushin as the city where i was born during the online Dv application and alsoaswell in the position of Place of Birth of the DS-230 form that i sent to KCC.
But the immigration Officer disagree with that for all Lagosian,it is Lagos they normally write for them in the position of Place of Birth and evenself Birth Certificate aswell,well i accepted that day.
Well,i think that is pass tense na to find solution to the existing problem on ground as you advice.I'll go to immigration office to see if the immigration officer can assist me to secure new e-passport again or find another solution to it.
Or if new e-passport cannot be issue out,i think i can request/do an observation of Place of Birth on my e-passport at immigration office.Guyz, i think that will back up my passport if new one cannot be issue out.But i don't know whether something like back up letter will be acceptable at embassy?

Concerning the issue on NPC Birth Certificate, i think i can easily go to NPC office to do another Birth Certificate and tell them to write Mushin in the position of Place of Birth instead of Lagos.
House,i think with all these action am a little bit safe?
Thanks for your advice again.God will see all of us through !!!
 
dont do observation on your passport

this is an excerpt from the FAQ from the US embassy in Lagos when i inquired from them about some issues:

Q8: What documents do I need to bring?

A: The required documents are listed on the checklist provided by NVC or on our prior communications with you. Remember, however, that each case is different. Please remember to bring ORIGINAL records of birth, marriage, divorce, police certificates, etc., including birth certificates of the petitioner if the petitioner is a son, daughter or sibling of the applicant. Please bring photocopies for us as well.

You must bring an international passport. If you are qualified for the visa, we will keep it until the visa is printed and placed in the passport. Please make sure that the passport is valid for at least six months, and that there are no written observations. If there is a written observation, you will be asked to get another passport. For more details about original documents, please visit:
http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3741.html.

so my guy have faith in God leave your passport that way and make a birth cert that reads mushin as your POB
 
Still Mushin issue

My suggestion.

I Think he should mail kcc and tell them about the issue b4 they discover. He should let them know that mushin is a sub of Lagos state and that he filled mushin bcos of the online reg. city/town thing he said he noted and that he was born in mushin, Lagos lagos State of Nigeria. With these , I think they will note and file it respectively. However, he should go ahead to get another birth certificate stating that he was born at Mushin in Lagos state.

Please prepare so that you will not regret. And do pray well, God will not let us down.
 
I have gotten an interview date with the embassy in Lagos. At last, 4real4u is write, he predicted that my interview will be by february. Its 1st wk in Feb.
 
Please, i still have issues unsolve,
1, my friend that is willing to give me the AOS said he is staying in a room appartment. can i still use his address as my POE.
2, what must be his minimum annual income to doc. an AOS for us { me and my wife, no child }
3, then will my friends house be checked on to verify the kind of accommodation he is staying ?

HAPPY NU YEAR IN ADVANCE. One love

Hi,

Although, the question was directed to another person but i think i should just answer it. You can find out any information from KCC by emailing on kccdv@state.gov and you must include in the email your DOB, Full name and Case number as it appeared in the 1st NL. Another way is calling them on +16065267500 and also having ready those details. I hope that helps?

Good Luck
