DV 2009 Lucky winners from Nigeria

I don't know why people are not active on this dv2009 compared to dv2008. Is it bcos the interviews are not started yet or we don't have as many candidates as dv2008.

Anyways, we're in September now, can we start guessing the cut-off for the upcoming bulletin.
 
No timeline

hi all,

I will like to find out if there is a limit to how far from the date of interview the affidavit of support by the sponsor can be filled.
In the same vain , will like to know how far from the interview one can get the bank statement.


I don't think a timeline is set but it is advisable to start processing it once your case number becomes current or when u're 100% sure your case number will be current for next bulletin.

I think same with bank statement, so far it is not 3months out of date i suppose from my experience with the non-immigrant visa, they'll accept it.

I guess for Nigeria NOvermber should be in the threshhold of 4500, i just use common sense going through previous bulletins.

I might be Right, Wrong or Close.

My cut-off guess for November

Guys,

Checking back at the previous years I was able to make these findings which I think some of us might have noticed or not. See the details below for the years, you’ll find out that the approximate average difference between October and November cut off over these years is been 1600, 2100 and 2500 for Nigeria, Ethiopia and Egypt respectively.

So for the DV2009 November cut off I’m guessing 4950, 5700 and 5700 for Nigeria, Ethiopia and Egypt respectively.

DV 2006
Egypt Ethiopia Nigeria
NOV. Cut Off 6800 5400
OCT. Cut Off 4600 3700
Difference 2200 1700

DV 2007
Egypt Ethiopia Nigeria
NOV. Cut Off 5600 5600 4300
OCT. Cut Off 3100 3500 2700
Difference 2500 2100 1600

DV 2008
Egypt Ethiopia Nigeria
NOV. Cut Off 6000 5000 6300
OCT. Cut Off 3400 2900 4700
Difference 2600 2100 1600


DV 2009
Egypt Ethiopia Nigeria
NOV. Cut Off 5700 5700 4950 (Anticipated)
OCT. Cut Off 3100 3600 3350
Difference 2600 2100 1600

For better view check the attachment below. This is my own opinion, please do not crucify me.

Good Luck to everyone.

NB:4real4u,i would really want to speak with u[could u reach me on my mobile?2348028769305]i will truly appreciate it or Email me on ogulism77@yahoo.com
 
Lucky you, i'll definitely help you. Send me the email with your details especially phone no, i'll call you back. I'm not sure but since you're single i think you don't really need any sponsor, can somebody clarify please.

Good Luck.

i am very pleased to read ur response..i will send an Email to u immediately.do have a great day!
 
No

I have a brother who won 2009af000011xxx can he start doing all the medical and stuffs now?

No, he can't 'cos he has to wait till his number becomes current and get the 2nd NL either via post or by email.

I think he might not be current till like April 2009, so he should cool down for now on other docs too 'cos they have 6months expiration period.

Enjoy.
 
Good to know

Technically

Thanks buddy for your thought but she is out of status if i go with her our case will be rejected. dont know what to do!
Technically, they will let you adjust your status since you are the principal applicant [if you have no violations/infractions]. They will probably ask your wife to leave voluntarily or worse still deport her.
She can still go to the Lagos embassy to re-apply based on the approval of your case; but may still be denied.
Of course, you need to talk to a lawyer who knows about these things; I only passed thru' the Law School compund in V.I.; I never took any classes.

Samko,

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.
 
this is my former post.

Pls i'll need clarification for some of us that has long names, but have slight discrepances in our WAEC, degree certificates & other certificates. eg.

I applied & won DV2009 with the name Ola David Adeoye but my WAEC certificate & degree result carries Olaoluwa David Adeoye which was my real name at birth, .[/B] My International Passport also carries Ola David Adeoye and i have used it to enter Uk, SWEden,..est but not US

SO the issue now is with my WAEC & degree which still carries Olaoluwa David Adeoye


Please advise me on what to do concerning the name on my WAEC cert as thats d basic cert they require..

Ola David Adeoye (Name used for DV2009 application, same name on International Passport )
Olaoluwa David Adeoye (Name on WAEC & degree certificates)
any difference between the two?

Can Affidavit solve this issue? What type will that be?

please will the embassy complaim about this differences, I need some clarifications
Expecting soonest reply.
thanks
Ola David Adeoye


Hello All,

Reply soonest.

Hi,

I suggest you leave it and do not complicate issues for yourself. Do you not consider that as been fraudulent and considering the fact that it is not going to be dated as far back as your date of birth but September/October 2008.

The people at the embassy are not dummies, they're psychologists. So don't jeopardise your chances, just pray to God it is not raised on the day, which i don't think so anyway. Even if raised you can always explain to them and with God on your side they'll accept it.

Since one has Ola and the other Olaoluwa, you can simply tell them it is a shortened form of your name finish and they're not blind also to see it. Moreso, the one on your passport tallies with the dv entry name, so i don't envisage any problems.

Good Luck
 
Go on time

Guy,

I'll suggest you go on time and have the appointment booked b4 you even leave wherever you are to save yourself time. Let your family start the medicals and you join later.

Good Luck
