Sorry guys for the long absence; I was very busy indeed.

Though, I'm not Onyii, however, I want to suggest that if your person in Minnesota has accepted to receive and accommodate you, go right away to Minnesota and changed everything at the POE.
Thanks and good luck.
 
Paulash: I heard Delta is very cheap too, even KLM. Just remember me in your prayers so that I get to the stage of having to sample airlines to make a choice.

Godblesschuks: Thanks for taking time out to discuss with me this morning. You are a friend, indeed.

Bammyrichie: Hope you are doing well. My regards.

I appreciate all members of this forum. You are all great.
 
Hello People!

its being ages that i last came around here. Feeling kind of guilty:eek:

Though i get regular email update guess we are all wrapping things up

For all our brothers and sisters yet to interview all the best, all those yet to book flights/ raise cash wish Gods favor.

Am still in Naija though will be traveling by end of October by his grace.

Please lets stop by once in a while with our 2010 pips and share some of our experience with them to help give there forum first hand experience.

Also, US is tough right now however, we all need to plan ahead its better when you have your plan well laid out for God to bless. If paul plants and Appolo waters without Gods blessing its in vain.

cheers!
 
hello everyone, hope everyone is doing great.
I need to ask a question, I know what I believe to be the answer but for some reason lately I'm a bit confused so I want to ask to be sure I'm getting it right.
Is one supposed to travel before the end of september or ......?
I believe it should be before the end of 6 months from the date of one's visa or is it not so?
I intend to travel in October, and my visa was issued in July......
should be ok.....aint it?????

As we all move to the state i pray that God will crown our little effort with success and we shall all find favour in everyone's sight amen.
alot to say but few to write.
at this point i will like to thank God for the opportunity give to me and a dream comes thru.........

Yes ooo,
Finally the fiscal year has elapsed, believe me it was a real trying moment with more than one million questions asked and various answers. For me it was a major challenge cos i got my first letter eleven months after it was sent. My case number had been current Five months before. Confused as i was, i stumbled into this great forum, with too many questions and less hope and truly all the members were helpful in one way or the other, lo n behold i am smiling now with a great future ahead, a dream i thought i had lost. Friends you all have been wonderful and inspirational, all of you, Livewire007, vanessa, 4real4u, onyii,bammyrichie etc. For all those who couldn't get it within the fiscal year, just be strong and put your trust in God, he knows best, believe me your time will surely come, just believe.

Best regards,

Biggest congratulations to all who had succesful interview as 2010 fiscal year ends today.

@Bammyrichie - You said you won the lottery twice but was successful the 2nd time. Please I have these questions:

1. Was your number too high and didn't get current for interview the first time you won it? (this question is quite personal to you but pls don't get annoyed over it)

2. Did you apply again the 2nd time after the end of the fiscal year u won or during d fiscal year when another lottery came out?

The reason for these questions is just to know if a DV 2010 winner with a high case number can apply for DV 2011 immediately. Or must it be at the end of 2010 fiscal year before one can apply again?

The house can also give their answers to these questions

Thanks.

am not offended or annoyed.
my number was very very high so @ d end of d fiscal year in 2005 they did not reach my cn. and in 2007 i applied again and i won it and dis time d all process was successful check my signature 4 detail. As for d other question u can applied once it is open u don't have 2 wait until d fiscal year ended once u start having double mind about ur cn if it is above lets say 18000 plus.
but 2009 fiscal year everybody that won was current in sept no matter how high ur cn was, so relax that may also happen in 2010 too. hope i've answered all ur questions? are u 2009AF or 2010AF WINNER? gud luck
