highest number of selectees in the world

Hi Guyz,
welcome once again to this forum.I've found out the Ghana will very very soon be in the situation just like Ninger,Egypt and Ethiopia, where Africa is mostly current except these countries.After a carefull study of the privious numbers,i realised that Ghana is gradually climbing high on the DV selectees.As to whether most selected are qualified,i cannot tell. We are the highest in the world this year(2009) and in normal sense we are joining or replacing one of these 3 countries in the "exception" class.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong! All the same i don't think this will be effective this fiscal year.Probably next 2 fiscal years.
This info i believe will help us predict when our CN's will be current.
Let us keep ourselves informed and with God all our efforts will not be in vain.
God Bless us all.
 
medpharm, is your friend in Ghana(the one you said won the 2009 dv?) Please introduce the person to this forum.

Will get in touch with my sponsor to send everything again next year. With the medicals I called the Akai House people in Osu they told me the medicals is after the 1st interview. All other docs ready left with police report and letter from my employer. Want to take these two a few days to the interview.

Another worry....
I operate two current accounts - salary a/c and the other for savings(it has been ideal for a while, no serious activity on the a/c)
Took a laon with the salary a/c, have two standing orders on it (details below)

Sanding order 1 is loan repayment
Standing order 2 goes into an investment account which is different from the two a/cs above

Would it be prudent to add the salary account which shows my monthly income as well as the deductions for the loan repayment to my docs?

I'm asking this question b'cos i want to present payslip and all a/cs which includes salary a/c.

Waiting....

God bless us all

I will advise that you do and collect your medicals prior to going for your interview. I say this because by delaying it you are only delaying your visa collection date should you meet all the requirements. Keep in mind that DV processing is a tad different from other immigrant visa, in that you will pay the DV visa fee of $775 prior to the actual assessment of your documents for your interview. Thus you gain nothing from waiting to do your medicals after the initial interview. The time you save and the peace of mind you get from presenting all the necessary documents/requirements and getting a decision from the embassy about approval or denial from your first visit far out weighs the $200 - $300 for medicals you will save if you are denied the DV. Therefore in my opinion ignore what you were told by Akai personnel about the medicals, when the time comes and you are ready to do your medicals, just go there and tell them that you need a medical assessment for USA DV completed. Again this is only my opinion

I do not think you need to open another account, especially due to the fact that you will have an affidavit of support. You should be fine with your current accounts plus the affidavit of support from your sponsor.

I am replying a post by Kwame in the Ghana 2008 thread, because I think it would be most useful for the 2009.
Some folks in Nigeria "begrudged" me for saying the affidavit of support is not meant for only couples. Well, from Aug 8 2007 (the date I joined this forum) to Aug 8 2008 (the date I picked my visa), I always visited the Nigerian forum for inspiration and, no doubt, they have been of help. However, remember this is Ghana! The Nigerians talk of applicants being called in the embassy by assigned numbers? In Ghana you are called by your name. I (single) also went to the embassy without a bank statement, only the aos from my sponsor. A friend went there without either of them but the embassy gave him a date to bring only the aos. I thought we were just lucky but a guy who has been entering the lottery for people confirmed that as the usual practice (at least in Ghana). I would simply advise the singles to present both evidence, just as a safety measure.
Those with rather low case numbers, relax. On the interview day you will be asked to provide only your 2nd NL, passport, two passport photos, certificates and the interview fee. You will be given enough time to organize any other document they deem necessary. Nothing wrong with presenting everything on the first day.
I HOPE THEY DON'T CHANGE THEIR PROCEDURE. Goodluck

Sure, if a winner does meet any of the requirements- education/work. (This is my opinion)
If you meet any or all two requirements and have since not received the 2nd NL I strongly advise that you call them. You could ask KCC to send you an email to be taken to the embassy if your date is very close and your sure you will not get the 2NL before your date.

2009 DV PRAYER FOR GHANA



I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psalm 121.

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23



Heavenly Father, with my heart full of thanksgiving and my mouth filled with praise I come before you as your child. You O Lord are the possessor of Heaven and Earth. I bow my knees before you and acknowledge you as my King. You are my shield and my defense; My Lord I thank you for making me and other fellow Ghanaians winners of the 2009 DV programme. Father the real battle starts from 1st October, 2008 – 31th September, 2009, this I commit into your HANDS. Father there is no way we can go through all the processes including the INTERVIEW on our own and come out VICTORIOUS that is why we are laying our petition (DV VISA) before your THRONE OF GRACE AND MERCY this moment.


Father the BATTLE IS YOURS NOT OURS! in the name of JESUS WE CAST OUT EVERY SPIRIT OF SHAME, DISGRACE AND DISAPPOINTMENT from our lives. Father, please help us make ready all DV documents and lead each and everyone of us to the embassy for the interview.


Father, WE COME AGAINST ANY SPIRIT OF FEAR IN THE NAME OF JESUS! Cause us to be very calm knowing that you are GOD.


Father, you are our only HOPE that is why we have come before you to see us through. You CLOSED the mouths of LIONS and they could not eat up Daniel. By your power you TURNED the red sea into DRY LAND; you made it POSSIBLE for Abraham and Sarah to have children when it was past the right age for them to have children. My God, out of Abraham came many NATIONS, You answered Hannah’s prayer by opening up her womb and she had children. We are also very much aware of the GREAT AND MIGTHY things you did in Egypt to get your children out of that nation.


You are the same awesome God that we have come to and we BELIEVE you can do same for us. Anoint our heads with oil and fill our mouths with LAUGHTER. Instead of shame, Father give us DOUBLE HONOUR. Cause DOORS that were once closed to OPEN NOW before us IN JESUS NAME.


Father, let no consular overturn our harvest, let your power of LOVE touch their hearts and minds and cause them to be at peace with us when we go for the interview.
Father, this is THE HOUR OF VISITATION AND AMERICA IS NOW NEARER THAN BEFORE, by faith we declare that the HEAVENS ARE OPENED over lives, the devourer is REBUKED, and we receive victory in the NAME OF JESUS.


WE RECEIVE TODAY, THE ANOINTING TO BEGIN, THE ANOINTING TO CONTINUE AND THE ANOINTING TO FINISH. We are fully persuaded that He, who has started a good work in us, will bring it into completion IN JESUS NAME.


We lift up our hands to RECEIVE ALL the BLESSINGS, FAVOURS, MERCIES, GRACE AND VICTORIES FOR THIS SEASON .


ALMIGHTY GOD, WE THANK YOU AND WE CALL IT DONE IN JESUS NAME AMEN….:)

Hi, could you please clarify your question? I am a bit confused.For me if someone is ineligible, that is it, there is nothing one could do about it. Do you mean your friend wants you to apply for him using your Ghanaian address? Of course yes or even the UK address provided he can trust the person who lives there to get the notification letter for me.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
