The Lord has made Himself manifest in my life ,He has answered my prayers again. My boy had a successful interview at the Embassy today. He's been instructed to pick up his diversity immigrant visa in a few days time. His interview was flawless and very short, only lasted 2 minutes.
I'd like to express my profound gratitude to all the honorable members of this forum for their support, prayers and invaluable words of advice. Thanks a million. You guys are the best.

pls what is the rate of dollar to naira now at embassy.

Am sure it's still 1$ to N160. In my own case i did a change in the local exchange before my interview, for 1$ to N158, that was because i didn't want to carry much cash to the embassy, but i'll advice you use naira, only if you are sure the local exchange are trust worthy, this is because the cashier's money machine in the embassy will be used to check the dollar if its original or counterfeit prior to payment.
Best of luck.
 
Hello, I have some questions to ask.
1. Can some one tell how to calculate when your number will be current?
2. Is it mandatory that you have to go to your home country to process the GC if for instance you are living outside your home country before you won?

A good study of the visa bulletin archive could give you a clue when you may likely be current.meanwhile, what is your case number?

It is not compulsory you must go back to your home country.In the country where you live at present you can ask kcc to transfer your case there.But if you live in the states already,then you may opt for adjusting of status that is if only you dont have a high case number.By and large, you can do CP in the country you reside.

Olubu12 there is no need to worry. The address you would want your green card mailed can always be changed at the port of entry. You would have to tell the immigration officials that you want to change the address where you want your green card mailed.This would not disturb the process of receiving the green card over there,your green card will be mailed to the new address you produce at the port of entry.
 
hi everyone please can you tell me how to check progress of a Dv winner?. l sent the first letter posted to me by june 2009 and till now nothing is heard from the kcc office. can anyone update me on what is going on. Thanks

If you sent it by courier use the tracking number to check if it was received by KCC. You can call KCC with the phone number in your NL, they will ask you for your Case Number(CN) and date of birth,they will then inform of the progress of your case.
Please note that when the 1st notification letter(NL) which you posted is received by KCC, it takes them 4-5months to process.So the time you will receive your second NL depends on when you returned your 1st NL and also when your Case Number(CN) becomes current

After the checking, one of the embassy worker (a senegalese girl) ask me to give her one photograph , what I did .She tell me to go on and take a seat with my wife waiting for our turn . the guard inside gave us a ticket with rank number .About half an Hour , they call me at box 3 as indicated on the screen .I stood up and went there alone .
the Officiar (a woman): " good morning "
Me : " good morning "
the Officiar : "give me your passeport and all the documents ."
Me : "here you are ! "
the Officiar : " Do you have them all in order ? "
Me : "yes ! "
the Officiar checked all the documents and verified them , and said :" your host didnot give you the affidavit of support ?
Me : No , (but there was my bank account assert in the documents )
the Officiar : " Okay ! go and pay 775 US $ which is 389.000 frs cfa , at box 1 and come back .
