Thank God we had successful flight on 25/05/09 to the USA. POE was done @ JFK. Changed address smoothly. All the guys at the airports were friendly, no panic for those yet to come. I am currently in columbus Ohio. I just went to the Social Security office to apply for our cards.
Good luck to all

Hi Vinesoft
When you are a bit settled, could you give us information about life in the states? I in particular would like to know how the current financial crisis has affected employment opportunities over there?

I will update you as the events roll. I think a crisis US economy is better than a well "Ghanaian economy". You can only find a job after you have obtain your SSN. It also depends on the state and the person who host and orientates you into the systems. My host are very helpful and smart, I know they will find me a as soon as my SSN is inn.

My People,I don’t really know how to thank you all,your contributions have help souls.I am really grateful to memebers here that have offered their last breath in helping us.

My situation is similar to that of UNCLESEGE from the Nigeria thread,but the only difference is that my friend knows her date of birth and also the complete form she filled during the entry period(Oct-Dec) last year.My friend had her OND in 2007 with 3credits and a pass in some subjects.Though her admission letter was conditional stating that she must get the require number of credit before the expiration of her program, and failure to provide it wont be given certificate.She finished the program and she has not collected the certificate because she has not completed her SSCE.Though her CASE NUMBER would be current by next year JUNE.So there is time to get the SSCE or GCE done.
She is writing NECO right now. And hope to get the require number of credit before DV current date.She has filled the form and submitted .She also included her OND Certficate and her 3 credits. Thought her admission letter stated that her admission is provisional and certificate would be given during the end of her program and failure to bring it wont be given a certificate.She called a top management in the school and he said the OND certificate wont be given if she brings a complete SSCE.

.She said she would be going to the embassy with her admission letter to the the embassy during the interview.Though she vow to read hard to get the require credit. Her fear is that wont the embassy say is contradictory of having OND before the complete SSCE.Will the admission letter clear the air??? She is into trading and that was what she filled as her occupation.Is there anything wrong with trading as an occupation???..

Please the honorables,I need your candid advice on this issue please.I will be glad to receive any useful information.

Thanks
 
I went for my State ID today. They insisted on my SSN and passport. Everything went smoothly.

I went to the local (state) Social office two days after I arrived thus 27/05/09 and had the first one on 06/06/09.It depends on the state. I was told I will get it within 2 weeks. Another Niger brother who applied almost the same time has had one of his.
Good luck

Cool here. the place is not bad. and I have family friend I lodging they are making things move fast for me.
My first tip.:p As soon as you touch down, just move to the nearest Social sicurity office and register, that is the fastest way. Don't wait for the immigration people to bring it, it will delay.
Second:p learn how to drive if don't. Though it varies from state to state.
Third:p It looks like they don't offer jobs base on our Ghanaian Bachelors degree. "Obia ne ne ti" so be prepared to do sales stuff at big shops like the Accra mall and may be take advantage of their education to move to your cherished field.
Fourth :p If you stay in a state for a year you qualify for some grant I will find out more for you guys.

In all is not bad. Their system works more better than ours. If you find a job it is far far better than Ghana from the way I see people around.
The most important thing is, you don't need to struggle papers like others who even say it is ok. cos you already have the green card they are struggling for.
I will update you guys as the events rolls

Hi Ladies & Gentlemen. I was told i won the 2010 dv lottery by a so called agent in Ghana who willingly decided to change my address i gave him to help me sign-up for the entry, this guy now wants to give me hell. I don't have the comfirmation number nor the case number-he's unwilling to let me see the letter from KCC. I can read and write but he doesn't even want me to fill the forms myself...please help if you can. I will be happy to deal with KCC myself.

But why did you allow someone to fill it for you while you could do it yourself? I do not think anyone in this forum could help you if you don't have your CN#.

Since the agent applied the lottery for you, he/she has your application confirmation number and without that it will be difficult to even check your results on the 1st of July.

Just find out what the agent wants from you, settle him and then handle it yourself. But before agreeing to part with some money or anything, make sure he/she allows you to see whether it is in your name.

Be careful, it might not be genuine. You need to be extra careful as someone can manipulate an old winning notification letter to dupe you.
