Hi guys
I got my visa last week Friday. There were a lot of guys who came for their visas on Friday. After we entered the embassy premises a young black American lady and a Ghanaian came to talk to us. They told us the dos and dont's of the green card, for instance those that were going through as fiancee were to get married to their American spouse by 90 days of their entering the US or they forfeit getting a green card. Our names were mentioned in batches and we went inside the embassy to take our visas. The embassy retains the medical report.police report and affidavit of support(if you submitted one) , documents that are returned to you are your educational certificates, passport picture(1 copy), visa application receipt and birth certificates. The embassy also gives 2 sheet of papers, one talks briefly about the green card and the other tells you about social security . I was given a brownish yellow envelope to give to immigration officials at the port of entry. I was thinking my visa would be valid from the day I took it(19th) but it wasn't so, It's valid from 16th February to 15th August.

Congrats bros,
Do not forget that His words says He will make everything beautiful in His time.
Best of luck as you plan your trip to the land of hope.
found this forum few days to my interview. interesting!
my observation today@ the embassy...
Our people are timid and can't put up a nice argument to support their points. communication barrier!
Even if you'r not confident bout your English, at least be reasonable, show some composure!
Others go for overkill, a certain guy, not DVC tho, kept dancing around n making all kinds of hand gestures n all...
Don't make it look like a big job trying to convince them.
Some other guy looked 35 and kept saying he was 20, who be fool!
A lady had her O'levels complete and yet couldn't solve a simple division.
If you highest level of Qualification is O'level, expect questions from there.
If a uni/poly certificate, expect to give an overview of your course(my CO didn't knw much about my course, so she asked for an overview)
invariably your project topic and what you did.
this thing(interview for DVC winners) is supposed to be like a walk-in-th-park.
One final thought: I observed they'r ever willing to issue out th visas..cheers
ALL THINGS ARE YOURS!

I used to check the status of my GC online then via the link: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do
The receipt number is the A-number on your DV Visa. You can also call them with the A-number too.
I can remember calling them many times about the status of my GC.
Hope this helps!
It is well
