. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN JANUARY

For January, 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:

You submitted your forms to KCC late so u might have to wait till march or April before you can get an appointment date, cos it ussually takes approximately 6 months for your returned forms to be processed. So exercise a little patient, better still you can call KCC on the 16th Feb. cos by then a new visa bulletin will be out.

My fellow Friends,

Pls let us share this question together, a DV2009 winner filled three names during dvlottery programme (first, middle and surname... but only the first name and surname are in her educational certificates. Thus, her birth cert , marriage cert, int'l passport, police report had three names(first, middle and surname)

What are your views.......and contributions

Naija Tanked!

Hi people, this is not a cause for alarm lets keep hope alive.

I just noticed the Naija as adjusted to Dv 2008 levels!

Please see the attached doc.

no cause for alarm, there are worst cases more than that, once all the names are there, the case will be cleared.

10q very much. i called them yesterday and i was told to be expecting my letter by next 2weeks. But i av these questions for u. i need all the details about police clearance (amount, ao long does it take to process that?), medical report fees and appropriate time to do it. may be i can do it b4 the letter would come or not?
Also, i was told that embassy only accepts affidavit of birth issue by NPC bcos from thier office here in osogbo, they dont issue original birth certificate but sworn affidavit birth certificate. what is ur view on this.
Thanks a lot

10q i called KCC with a positive response that my letter will get to me in d next 2weeks. But one issue again is that in my initial application on net i used my wife maiden name for her own family name instead of using my surname for her but i corrected in NL they sent. pls would that not affect our chance?
 
Pls clemetfemi,

U need NPC birht cert. Thus, if u were born in 1978, NPC birth cert would be issued below 1978...that 1977 down, u need RE- NPC cert. becos NPC was promogated in 1978 for all Nigeria born children from 1978. However, this NPC for 1978 above could be issued from Local council while RE-NPC are issued from NPC head office or Zonal offices.

Thanks

npc? for what

what did we need NPC for and what is the meaning? pls i have the original brith certificate so.......
