Sir, i will implore you to take time and read through the thread from beginning to the end as it will do you a lot of good, single or married there are varieties of insights into likely question during interview and when is your interview?also please let us know your case number. God will go before you and you will come back with a success story.

I am asking a friend of my mine won Diversity visa lottery but he can not recall the date of birth he has written in the EDV online. Whenever he emails to KCC they usually request a complete date of birth. Is he stands a chance to be interviewed or expects a second letter because his case is already current in August.

Hi,

This is a critical case and even worst since he's contacted them severally and they're always requesting for the correct DOB. They will definitely send the person the 2nd Letter inviting for interview but he might end up been refused the visa because he doesn't have the proper DOB, which means he won't go for the interview with the right birth certificate and they could have possibly tagged the case number as fraudulent.

Infact, i rest my case. How on earth.... infact i rest my case.

My advice for the person is not to waste his/her money and time if s/he still cannot remember it till s/he receives the 2nd letter.

Good luck

i am thanking God for you because your success has enlivened my hope that probably by the grace of God next year around this time, i will be here to tell my success story aswell because my case number is within your range if not exactly the same as yours- i guess!. Congrats as we await your experience.

Your case may actually be critical as assertained by 4real4u but i still believe all hope is not lost.From my humble opinion, what these people are actually looking for is sincerity.There is no crime mailing kcc and telling them the whole truth that you thought the DOB you filled in the EDV was your original DOB.And that you only discovered this when you sent them mail and it was surprising to you when they replied that your DOB does not march that case number.In other words, claim that the DOB you filled in the EDV was an oversight.But this is under the condition that the DOB you filled in the forms you sent back is the same with what is in your birth certificate.I believe this will solve everything, just trust in God.

 

[gasper2000]

Please bro always hit on me when ever you are in the house and how far have you gone with your documentation.

only International passport remaining.Of course police certificate and medical would be next year when we become current by the grace of God.Please do you know how much it cost to do international passport?

Oversight? ''No ignorance in law''. This is like a law because you must not falsify or impersonate any person either by not sticking to your date of birth, names etc.

To me i think as soon as he informs them they will send 2nd Letter inviting him for interview, he'll make all the visa processing payments, do all the medicals and at the point of interview they will deny him based on what he's told them. OK let's pause here, let me ask him a question, what date of birth will he put in the passport he'll be going to the embassy with when he doesn't know the right one?


I bet you it is only God's divine intervention that can solve it.

Fingers crossed.

Please do keep us in the loop and good luck.

 

[Aywire]

since your case is current.....

But this what they told me after sending a mailto the embassy.
For Diversity Visa entries, if you are inquiring about adding a family member (that was NOT a family member at the time of your Diversity Visa entry) to your DV case, it can be done on the day of your interview at the U.S. Consulate. All normal DV fees apply for this family member.

since your case is current, ur file is in the embassy already, if they told u to bring the completed form on ur interview date, u will pay for the child too, get that.

 

[dotman]

International passport

only International passport remaining.Of course police certificate and medical would be next year when we become current by the grace of God.Please do you know how much it cost to do international passport?

i think the price varies depending on your location in Nigeria, please prepare to spend about N20,000 if not more and you will get it btw 3-5 days,if you are in lagos, i know someone who can help you get it for N20,000 btw 3-5 days. All the best.

 

[dotman]

Example of a similar lost case

Listen, making a mistake of listing the wrong DOB on the original entry is, unfortunately, a fatal error. This will effectively disqualify you at the interview.

I suggest not going ahead with the process. You may end up wasting $775 for nothing.

Sorry.

I am not very sure that the message you got from KCC indicating details do not match is fatal to your application. You can change any info before your papers are sent to your contry's embassy. I remember I had a problem with my mums DOB and i contacted them but they told me the information i sent didnt match with what they had i offered to scan a copy of her national id card they told me they have noted the change and put it in my file they never assured me all was well but it was never mentioned in the interview. a prents DOB may be less important but i also dont think yours is as long as you are honest and try to infrom KCC early.
Also please dont put your case no and DOB in the forum instad use 19XXX. all the best

Give it try, maybe it will work ....................

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loosing amount of USD 775 should not be the reason, to stop at this stage, you may lose this amount or more than it because of any other reason in your life, just try to put your birth certificate, online form copy and form DS 230 in front of you, try to catch the mistake yourself, and hope you made this mistake in form DS 230, but in all cases go ahead to the end and don’t look to the money you have to spend as interview fees, remember it’s interview so it’s individual case, and who knows, maybe it will be alright.

I second that....
If 775 is not critical to you
Go, give a shot....
Honest is the best policy.
They should know lying about the DOB brings nothing good to you.
You don have the motive and reason to do that intensionally.

And that's why I tell people...MAKE COPIES OF WHATEVER YOU SEND, so that you know (or remember) what you sent.

In the case of DV application online, create a summary of anwers which you provided when applying online.

By The Way, could it be that someone applied entered the DV info on your behalf, and that someone did not enter it correctly?...so your blind assumption at the time is now causing you grief?

i support you, give it a shot, becoz

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Janet girl, i am also about to go for my interview on 16th march. this is why i think you should go.

when i received my 2NL, i took a lot of time reading it. i remember specifically KCC said, after the transfer of your case number, all communications should be directed to the embassy regarding your case.

i think, if by the time you got your 2NL you hadnt rectified th problem, i would advise you to contact the embassy where your gonna have your interview. Either by mail or phone call and explain about your problem, ask for advise, find out whether it will be fatal or not.

I am sure they have had people who have faced the same problem as your facing. Try to get in touch with embassy before the date for interview. Like the place where am going to have mine from, on the website of the embassy, here was am email on can contact about any problem in regard to your Visa processing. but if it was me, a call would be best or a personal visit if you can.

i will pray for you, dont just give up. mistakes are for all human being, even the consulate. take care, i will pray for you

Unless you know way ahead that the time taken to issue Police Clearance and other documents will take unusual amount of time, it is not necessary to do that as you are NOT even a winner as yet.

Yes there is no reason why they wont accept these documents in the event that you got the NL and document issuance date thereafter.

Cheers and best of luck

I'm more than happy to concede and admit defeat if she really got her visa.

I was stating conventional wisdom, and in most cases the outcome does not turn out to be positive like here.

But anyway, best of luck for your new life in the US janetgal.

Dude, you were basically telling her to keep the $775 in her pocket. You were wrong, plain and simple.

Janetgal here: successful interview


Hey Everybody!
I hope you remember me. After been thru a lot, I have finally set for interview and will get my visa on Monday.

I suppose my case is a little painful and i think it would be a great lesson for the rest of us. So, here is my information regarding my experience, which I hope you will use for good.

First of all, thanks to all of you who answered my questions and gave your suggestions. Special thanks goes to those ones who urged me to go to the interview no matter the complex issues i had. If it wasn't for you guys, none of this would have become a reality.

A. My word regarding KCC and Consular Offices:

1. KCC people are very helpful and kind. If you have any doubts about your case, please contact them directly and be as clear as possible. Heart-felt thanks goes to those people.
2. Consular services of US Embassy are extermely supportive and hepful. Again, contact them for any doubts you have and they are more than happy to help you out.
3. If your case is complicated like mine, the best way to get the information is by calling them. You pay more for phone, but it really,really worthes.

B. My issues:
Though i have posted only problems associated with my birthdate in this forum, i also had issue with my name. During online entry, I input my third name in both my second and third name. I know I made this error when i got my notification letter. I contacted KCC regarding this and they told me

Quote:
KCC IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY ENTERED ON THE ONLINE ENTRY FORM. BUT SEND US YOUR CORRECT INFORMATION FOR EVALUATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

So, i correct my name and send my forms back to KCC.

That was around the May 2008.

I contacted KCC for the first name regarding my case (After sending them my forms) on September the 13. I was told the information I submitted does not match the case number provided. I thought it was a name problem, but they simply repeated the answer again and again. I contaced several people regarding their answer and honestly, i got the most frustrating answers. One told me (bbsnetting to be specific) it is a lost case and i need to give it up. I made a mistake of not calling KCC in the first place. It was just after i made the call that I know my birthdate was the error

C. 2nd letter came but i moved out:
Before my case regarding birthdate was solved, i left Asmara, Eritrea and moved out to Sudan. My second letter arrived in January 2009. My interview was set for Feburary 5 at 10:00am at US-Asmara consular. I asked for a transfer of my case and the consular service didnt even ask for the wrong birthdate i entered on my e-application. They transfered my case using Fedex to Nairobi.


D. Documents:
I contacted Kenyanan Consular services regarding my birthdate error and asked for advice if i have to move on or not. I have asked the asmara consular center as well. Both of them told me they are not authorized to advise me to continue or not. The kenyan consular center told me that the birthdate may be needed to collect my documents and that i need to have my correct documents with me and explain what was the error. Other than that, i had perfect school, medical and fininicial support documents. After passing medical examination, i contacted the office to set me a date of interview. The interview was set for June 15 at 7am. They gave me exactly a month.


E. The interview:
I was the first to be interviewed, I think. I prepared everything. Just in case they raise the question of my name, i printed out the first email they wrote me to show them that if they hadn't advised me, i wouldnt have moved on with the application. I also had printed the email the kenyan consular center wrote me. To my surprise, the interviewer didnt ask me for this info. I learned that the online entry may be important but the consulars have copies of the forms we fill and return to KCC.

The interview was successful. I will pick up my visa on monday and move to USA very soon.


Again, thanks for everyone. Please contact me if you have any doubts. I have contaced many people online and in person regarding my case and got many,many answers. If you need to hear those, please let me know.

I wish everyone the same luck as me.

Thanks!

MY INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE ON THE 02ND OF JULY, 2009.
we got to the embassy 6:15am, parked in the army's car park (paid N500) joined the queue at the entry to the embassy at 6:35am for Immigrants with 7am appointments.
At the entry to the embassy, we asked to put away all battery operated devices and to open up our XRAY and bring out the medical results, before entry an officer checked up the list and found my name, my wife and son for interview and I told her I want to include my new born baby that I will be paying for 4 persons, she then gave us a payment notice slip for 4 persons to go in & pay to the cashier, a contact form to fill, and also a brown card (written on it was DV 7).

When we got in, there was female cashier who demanded for my payment voucher
I paid for 4 of us @ a rate of $1=N160, we then proceeded to the next window where we meet a lady to submit our documents both original and photocopy. The documents were collected in this order:

Primary Applicant (Husband)
1. NPC birth certificate
2. Marriage Cert.
3. Medical result + vacination paper
4. Police report
5. WAEC cert + other degree(s) obtained
6. 3 Passport Photographs
7. International Passport(s)

Wife
1. NPC Birth certificate
2. Marriage Cert.
3. Medical result + vaccination paper
4. Police report
5. 3 Passport Photographs
6. International Passport(s)

2. 3 Passport Photographs
3. Medical result + vaccination paper
4. International Passport(s)

Son 2
1. NPC Birth certificate
2. 3 Passport Photographs
3. Medical result + vaccination paper
4. International Passport(s)
5. Newly filled application form




She then asked us to proceed to the interview hall and take our seat.

At the interview hall, me & my wife did a rehearsal of possible questions we might likely face & we also chatted concerning possible windows we might be called to.

@ 8:00am various Immigrants were called up to the windows for their interview, mostly old women who have their children as US citizens.

@ 9:15am (DV7 called) we were called to Window 10 for the interview proper.
@ The window was a white young man.

Consular Officer (CO): Can you and your wife raise up your right hands. You're here because you were selected for further consideration and to tell the truth
Me & wife: Yes,
The CO gave us our DS230 forms to sign below the lines and also asked me to sign for my 2 sons as well.
CO: Please place your hands on the finger print machine, starting with the primary applicant and later with my wife.
The consular was now looking at my new born baby and he asked me how old is she and I told him is he and not she, he then asked me how old is he and I said 3weeks old, he smile and called his other friend to come see and he was showing his friend my baby’s international passport photo pages and the consular was smiling.
