DV 2009 Lucky winners from Nigeria

[livewire007]

Yes we've married before i filled the form. our marriage was August,2007.
But d reason i used her maiden name was that she had not changed her name on newspaper then. Though i didn't plan 4 dat at the time of filling the form and couple with my inadequate information on that then.
Thanks

First, in my opinion since you have corrected the name on the form DS230, you should do all her other documents include NPC cert,Police report, Mediclas & international pasport with ur surname (which should be the same with the one u filled on the form DS 230), cos its the Ds230 that kcc will send to the embassy.

secondly, i hope her WAEC and or degree certificates has her maiden name as this will help to convince the consular that she is the legit winner of the lottery.

Thirdly, her maiden name will/should appear on your marriage records/certificate and make sure you take enough proof (pictures) of your wedding, from introduction, registry to traditional/white wedding.


Lastly, pray & trust God, they might not even ask about it, sometimes we trouble ourselves on issues that dont count. Prayer does all tins.

remember: Every case is unique on its own. (4real4u & aadepetun, immigrationforum2008)

Trust God, u need not worry.

Diversity Visa is going to be scraped?
Rep. Bob Goodlatte says the program could be manipulated by terrorist organizations. So congressman Bob Goodlatte has filed legislation to scrap DV lottery.If passed House Resolution 1430, also known as the Security and Fairness Enhancement for America Act of 2007, would eliminate the visa lottery act. This DV Lottery allows about 55,000 immigrants to enter the United States each year from countries which sends less immigrants to USA.

"The current immigration system is so restrictive so far as who can come or who can't," said Roanoke immigration lawyer Jeffrey Van Doren. "This is an opportunity for people who otherwise wouldn't qualify under the restrictive immigration system to have a chance to come and live the American dream."

But Goodlatte sees the program as a national security threat. "The nature of the lottery is such that we have no control over who applies for admission to our nation, " said Goodlatte, R-Roanoke County,. "This flawed policy is just foolish in the age in which we live. Those in the world who wish us harm can easily engage in this statistical gamble with nothing to lose. " As long as a candidate has no criminal background, he or she will be accepted. Even if improvements were made to the visa lottery program, nothing would prevent terrorist organizations or foreign intelligence agencies from planting members in the U.S. by having those members apply for the program,".

Goodlatte's bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Glory to God

Guys,

Glory to God, we landed in Los Angeles few hours ago. We were on the visitor line and later taken to the secondary inspection unit where we finished the whole process and changed our address. We spent 45minutes in total and it was pretty straight forward.

busalab;

You have no need to worry, most times the changes do not reflect on your 2nd letter, just make sure you go to the interview with your new baby's DS230 forms with the correct passport types, also do is medicals & get his international passport & NPC cert ready, you will all be given visa(s).

Cheer up.

Everybody in the house AOS is not neccessary but you could get one in case. Then make sure you get your NPC RE: Birth certificate confirmation.

Hi,

Just go ahead and get another passport, NPC certificate and other docs in her married name since you're the principal winner. Just make sure you have your marriage certificates and pictures ready as proves and also explanation of why you didn't use her married name when you applied. As per that just tell them she hasn't change her name to yours then and if she has a former passport or other docs bearing her maiden name just take them along with you for the interview.

Pray for God's favour and all shall be well with you.

Good Luck.

Interview Details

Cutting it short.
I got to the embassy at about 5.15am and at about 6.15am the guards at the embassy began to tell everyone to form lines depending on the time and reason for interview.

At about 6.35am those for DV lottery were asked to form their line and began moving in through the security checks. When I got in, I thought I will be called to pay not until I noticed people leaving their seats to pay before I went to pay the fees.

The cashier lady was arrogant and raising her voice at any body who asked her questions.
Like I saw earlier it is better to go with dollars except the black market price is above N160 to a dollar, because I was shocked to find out that written clearly there was that with effect from January 16, 2009 exchange rate at the embassy will be a dollar to N160.

When I counted the money with me it was N124, 540, and the fee was N124, 000, so I was left with N40 eventually because I gave someone the N500 because he was short of money. I presented all my documents including associations (foreign and local), etc but all were returned except WAEC, B.Sc, M.Sc, police report, NPC birth cert and scratch card.

10.45am.
CO: DV 16 please come to window 12
CO: winning the US visa lottery doesn’t give you automatic entry to the US, so we need to verify some things.
CO: raise your hand and swear, that what you shall say shall be the truth
ME: I do
CO: What is your name?
ME: BLA
CO: your date of birth?
ME: BLA
CO: I can see you are advanced, what are you doing now?
ME: Ph.D
CO: what course?
ME: human physiology
CO: what do you major in?
ME: physiology
CO: OK, that’s the course, how’s your course work?
ME: no course work, its research
CO: tell a little about it?
ME: we are working on male and female reproduction but we are tilting towards female reproduction
CO: ok, give me some technical terms?
ME: we are working on some herbs which have abortifacient and non-abortifacient effects on the gynecological structure and womb (CO interrupts me)
CO: OK, congratulations, welcome to the United States, do not make any travel arrangements till you have gotten you visa.

10.50am. He handed my documents to me and the blue slip. That was all. To God be the Glory

clementfemi,

Use her married name (i:e. your Surname), because its a current document and its not been backdated to when she was born, atleast i used my name 4 my wife.

All d best as u prepare 4 D-day.

 

[mcdemmy]

Pls, am confused about this sponsorship of a thing,will KCC notify him or her as the case may be or we will have to wait till the 2nd letter comes in to direct us on how to go about it?
