MY INTERVIEW EXERIENCE
I got to the US Consulate, Nigeria by 6am. My interview was for 7am
Exactly at 6:30am a guard came and spoke to us. We were told to form 3lines, one was for those coming to renew their visas, the second line was for non-immigrant and the last and third line was for diversity or immigrant visas.
We were told not to go in with phones, bags, metal objects, mirrors and so on. We were also asked to open up all envelopes like the ceiled medical report. Open it , even the white envelope and then put it back inside the brown envelope that contain our medical certificate.
We were ushered in and our appointment letters were collected from us and verified if truely we had an appointment at the embassy that day. If true, we were then given a payment slip, contact form and a green card containing our DV –number. Mine was DV-2. We went in had a seat, and filled in the contact form. On the contact from you are supposed to fill in your name, your street number, city, state, telephone number and e mail address. Make sure you then put down your Dv numbers on the top right hand corner of all the duplicate of your credentials. We were reminded to open all files especially the medical certificate. Inside there is a white envelope, and we were also asked to open it. Note that dv number is different from your original case number. So don’t make that mistake that was made by many. I didn’t make any mistake through out the process. Thanks to this great forum. I left my bag and phone in the house. I was just watching and laughing at others looking for were to keep their bags.
We were again ushered in for security check to find out if we had any unwanted object with us, please note that if found, you will be sent out of the embassy and you will have to go and start all over again, and you will be the last person this time around. So please take this as an advice
From here, we went in to pay the $775 interview fee. We were given two receipts. Keep it save because you will have to hand one of it over to the consulate officer interviewing you. We were then ushered in to the room were the interview is carried out. We were asked to have a seat and listen to our dv numbers. After some minutes, my number was called to go to window 10. There i handed my documents for check up. Only my birth certificate, provisional admission letter, GCE-A/L, and GCE O/L results were collected from me including the originals. Guys i was surprised to see my DSP-122 and DS-230 part 1 and 2 forms with my picture stapled on it, that i had filled and sent to Kentucky consulate centre in the US. I was then asked to sit down.

THE INTERVIEW PROPER
At around 9am i was then called by the interviewing Consulate officer, CO say to go to window 10
There i was asked to take up my right hand and swore to say the truth. My fingerprints were then taken again same as during the police certificate. I saw the Chinese-American lady i had heard about in this forum and i prayed to God that i should be interviewed by her and it came to pass. Guys that lady is so good and has a kind heart. She was just dishing out visas like pure water. Thank God it came to pass as i prayed to God. I Was interviewed by her.

@asanrex I have one quick question for u. Pls do clarify us on the dv number and case number issue. Is it the dv number we're
given by the securities at the embassy gate (eg dv 10) or is it the original case number given to us by KCC (eg 2010AF000****) that we're to write in our forms.
Ur response will be very much appreciated.

@asanrex; what did the CO mean by 'Wht part are u?' when she asked u, wht did u say?

I believe part means year or level. Some schools call it e.g year 3, some 300Level and some part 3. I think Asanrex made it clear that the case file number is different from the DV Number and it is the latter you will be given that day of the interview and you'll write it on ur documents (top right-hand corner) while inside the Embassy building awiting the interview. Again it is true, there is an increase in the fee, from 775USD to 819USD. Update urselves people, all the best.

When all numbers are CURRENT, does it mean that VISA is available for all those who are CURRENT or its their is a chance that the VISA might be finished before others even appear for the interview? Please shed my light.

I think so but only if you can prove worthiness to claim urs. I believe they don't give out visas when wrong folks are around, however they err sometimes.

My Bros: alexee357,
Thank you for note; There is no regret whatsoever, life here is stll ok-you need to pray and work harder especially if you have work and school at the same time.

POE experience; if you changed your sponsor and/or address prior to leaving your country (Nigeria) make sure you update it at POE and follow it up as soon as you arrived(say within the week). I did not follow up mine, that was why my GC/SSN came late. There were sent to the address I filled in DSP 230.

Having transfered my Transcript, I go to school Mon-Thur and job Fri-Sun. I have finished one semister and have one to go to graduate. I thank GOD for his favour.

So, my people try your best and leave the rest for your Creator.

I will continue to pop in once a while and see how I could help/advice on-coming forumites to the States.
Good luck to all waiting for 2nd letter and/or interview.

When a conutry or a region becomes current, what it means is that the number of visa available for issuance is more than the number of DV applicants available for interview.

For example in Nigeria, we have about 500 persons remaining for the month of September and the number of visa available is 300. Which means that 22,000 - 22,301 will be schedule for interview, while the remaining 200 will not be schedule since the DV2010 will round-off by September.

However, if we have about 500 persons remaining and the visa numbers available is about 600, which means that there are alot of visa numbers available than the number of Dv applicants, hence it will be declear current. That is the number of visa number available is more that the actual number of DV applicants that would be schedule for interview at the end of the DV2010 exercise.

I trust you understand how it works now.
