Hi All DV winners from Ghana.
I King Banabas do hereby wish to share with you what happen at my appointment date.

7:30am we were allowed in.
8:00am i was the 2nd person to be call (note DV winners are called first)
they asked me, do you wish to be interview? Yes I said.
A form was given to me to be filled accepting to be interview
I was call back to submitt the form
I was then ask to go and pay the fees $775
I pay the fees and a receipt was given to me.
I sent the receipt and my documents were colleted.
NOTE ONLY DOC. REQUIRED BY THE PROGM WILL BE COLLECTD. ANY OTHER SUPPORTING DOC WILL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU.
I was ask to go and wait after after collecting the needed doc.
My name was call again and this is where the whole show started
Goodmorning she said; I responded
Repeat after me; I did exactly that (sworn)
Do you qualify for the the visa? Yes I said
How? I replied; I qualify undr. the educational requirement as a student.
Tell me abt your education; I started as exactly as i've listed on the form.
She said; I belief you qualify.
She gave me a blue sheet which required me to submitt FORM I-134 and on it a new appointment on 05-02-09. the actual interview took abt 1-2 minutes
my doc. were retain and only my passport was given to me. Any body who will be going for an interview should only be happy as the embassy is more or like your home. You will get to know a lot of people and I did not notice any refusal case. that time i got to know of another two DV winners but I hope they don't have much knowledge abt the whole thing. If they don't change their appearance then I'm afraid they are going contrary to the rule and such...... you know......
CAN ANY PREVIOUS WINNER CONCLUDE MY WHOLE CASE FOR ME??? HOW IS IT GOING TO BE AFTER SUBMITTING THE FORM I-134?

I want you to shear all your experiences with others like you.

Those yet to go for Police cert, read this.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DEPARTMENT (CID)

HOW TO OBTAIN POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE
The Police Clearance Certificate is issued to prospective travellers who have been asked to submit police report on them to check whether or not they have any criminal record.

Most foreign embassies demand police clearance before they issue prospective travellers with entry visas to those countries.

Police clearance is issued to all Ghanaians, both living at home (residents) or abroad (non-residents).

All applicants are requested to fill an application form at the Police C.I.D. Headquarters, together with two passport size photographs, as well as Ghanaian passport. However, non-resident Ghanaians can apply through resident Ghanaians.

Below are the fees charged for obtaining Police clearance:


Residents

Photo

GH¢ 10.00

GH¢ 3.00

obtainable within 5 working days

Non-Residents

$ 120.00 US Dollas

Plus 3 Passport Size Pictures obtainable within 5 working days
Employment

GH¢ 5.00

obtainable within 5 working days


MODE OF PAYMENT FOR POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE

It has been observed that cheques issued by some applicants in payment for Police Clearance Certificates especially foreign ones bounce thereby rendering this mode of payment unreliable.

The Director-General/CID has accordingly directed that henceforth cheques would no longer be accepted as payment for the processing of Police Clearance Certificate.

If you are the dv winner and you made it clear at the time of your entry(lottery) that you were married then you two must be at the first interview.

She may also decide to complete the medicals or if you should sail through which i know you would:), she would be given time to complete her medicals if she did not do that before the first interview.

Note>>
All persons listed on the original entry (dv lottery) MUST go with you for the 1st interview.

Good Luck
 
Can I pay the 755 dollars in Ghana cedis or change into dollars?

I greet all the brothers and stay blessed.

That is a good question. Some countries allow the use of USA dollars to pay, but the question is does Ghana provide the same option for its people. But the cost is USD 775 not 755. I suggest that you call the embassy to ask that question.

I really don't know but personally I don't see anything wrong if you have two sponsors who are willing to support you in the US.
 
Hi Guyz, i'm having 2 sponsors.one will financially support me and the other will provides furnished room and feeding. Hope that's ok. I decieded this way cos there's actually no mention of AOS in any of the two letters i recieved from KCC.
I believe your ability to convince the C.O that you're capable of intergrating in the States without federal support,especially now that the economy is in a bad shape.
Kwame Poku, where in Ghana do you live? I'm doing my CP at Frankfurt very soon,and will come to Ghana in January.
 
Thank men for your coment. It shall be well for us all
