My dear forumites this is exactly how the interview went.
Got to the embassy at about 6:51am
Went through the first gate where we were issued the DV number 20.
We were then directed to seat and when to get checked in.
Mean while on the advise of Petit, Danje, Gasper et al that the place is always very cold I wore a jacket but men heat nearly kill una brother oh
We got checked in by 7:21 am
Went across the road and through the second check in by 7:40am
And the third and final check in around 7:45am
We went in and got seated.
We were called to window 10 by a Nigerian at about 8:10am and they requested for our documents.
As the lady was going thru she asked if we had paid the visa fees, I quickly went outside to pay.
My people I paid in US dollars and for a family of four I paid 3,100 USD.
My people as I was handing out the money (USD) I dey fire prayers follow am...say this money must not go in vain but for that which I am paying it for. (DV Visa).
I went back in submitted the passport and sat down.
At about 8:40am the Asian lady started the interviews and called a lady to the window 11. My people I could only hear when they asked for her date of birth and she paused for a while before answering, I was even surprised. Then she was asked for her family (husband and Children), she was now explaining that her house help will not follow then to the US.
The Co asked her how many people they paid for and she answered just her self and could not pay for any other person cos of finance and she was alone.
They the we were called to window 13 and the next thing I heard was she was not qualified.
