Praise be to the Lord our God who crowns us in victory.
 
gud morn'g, a winner frm GHANA contacted via my email askin 4 help, i've gven her all i know that can help her but problem remain unsolved. pls she send her form back 2 kccdv two months ago and now she wants to confirm if they have received d form. anytime she email them, they keep telling her that d case no. d name or d date of birth is wrong or don't match with what they have on that cn, pls she is trouble, aywire, onyii, petit, livewire and others.
 
Bammy Goodmorning!! Maybe she has mistakingly filled a wrong date of birth while she was registering initially. Ask her to check if made photocopies of the forms she sent back to KCC, she should confirm what she wrote on there, if the DOB is correct on there, then the problem may be on the initial dv lottery form. If the problem is on the forms she sent back to KCC, she can make ammendment, if it's on the original dv form, it'll be difficult for her to know since she didnt store up any information, and that could be a major problem for her to be able to explain to them. Get across to her and ask her to go check to know where the problem originated from then we know what next.
 
Hello i can see you are online

You can check with other photographers if the one you tried using doesnt get the appropriate size of the DV picture. I dont even have any specimen of the photograph, check out other good photo shops, they'll know what a 50mm by 50mm picture is and give you the exact shot.
Goodluck

Help sought

Hello all,

I am a winner of DV 2010. I entered the original form as married ( I am the principal applicant); altough I did not do a wedding ( and therefore no pics...), I had the marriage license/certificate. The rub, however, is after a year of study I went home for a break, only to see my wife saying she is no more with me and she may apply for a divorce. However, even if she files for a divorce, from past experience, it takes ages and ages to finalise divorse cases in my country. And as per historical trend, my number will probably be current in March/April, and am sure the divorce will take longer than that to finanalise. I am in deep shit here: I lost a wife, and gonna lose my DV. I filled in the form I returned to KCC that she will be moving with me, which means that she has to be with me on the interview date. But now, she won’t be. If I notify the KCC of change in my marriage, I am sure that I will not be bale to get the divorce paper by my interview date.

Is there any such strange experience? Can any one help me out here. I would greatly appreciate!

Firstly, even married couples with pictures go through so much screening during their interview before they eventually succeed not to talk of couples that do not have a single picture of their marriage.

Secondly, you already informed them that you're married, so there's no way this could have been a mistake even though you aint claiming it's one. If she doesnt go with you for the interview forget about the interview. If she attends with you, you have to provide other proofs apart from your marriage cert.

The only option you have now is to have your wife go with you, show them proofs beyond ur marriage certificate... But sincerely, if your wife doesnt attend interview with you, then forget about the DV interview.. Goodluck
 
@ lome, congratulation 4 winning dv lottery, i think dis little problem is a blessing in disguard 4u. firstly, u don't have enough proof than d certificate and white folks are always interested in u story about how u met ur wife.
my advice, since u applied as a married appliant that can be change all u need is just get a divorce cert. and update ur data with kcc by sending them a scan of it. U still enough time 2 get d divoice b4 ur interview. i personally will not advice u 2 go with ur wife 4 d interview.

@Bammyrichie, but he just mentioned that the divorce proceeding takes long around where we comes from.. In a case where the divorce process takes up to a year for him to complete, his case wont be valid anymore for this fiscal year... What other options apart from getting divorced?

i don't think so? i will only takes not more than few month if all the evident is there(available), b'cos if the wife fellowed him to the interview she might **** the all thing up and he can still do the interview without his wife under the condition that there is no enough cash to paid for the two of them and reschedule the interview just my own opinion............................

it was the initial form she filled on the net not form 230?
 
This is a real precarious situation and it must be handled with care and caution. I find it difficult to believe that a lady is adamant to follow thru with this process, knowing the benefit that awaits her with a green card. I dont want to believe that our friend has an axe to grind with the girl and that he is the one trying to exclude her from the program or that the guy is asking for real marriage before he will allow her to be a beneficiary.

Please, pardon my analysis above. I need to state my points before giving my advice so that you will appreciate my suggestions. If the above applies, then our friend has to shift ground and see himself and the lady as partners in a venture in which they both need each other to succeed, rather than seeing himself as a winner that wants to help a beneficiary. If he thinks like a winner, he may end up losing the opportunity.

I will advise both parties to sit down together and reach a compromise. They can go on their separate ways after the visas have been granted. If settled, they should proceed to snap as many shots as possible with several arrangee family members as possible. Their case does not elicit so much suspicion because the details of both parties were included in the lottery application.

If however the lady is still recalcitrant, our friend should approach the court for any documentary evidence that a divorce proceeding has been initiated. The process need not to have been concluded. The court will surely avail him something to show that the divorce process is on-going and that it takes so long to conclude.

It is easier and safer to remove a spouse than adding one after winning.

But if I have my way, I will prefer both parties showing up together a husband and wife.

Best wishes.

Hi Phill,

Amenoo!!!. I'm happy 4 u dear.
 
Hello everybody. Good to be back with testimony. God went before my family and it was a pleasant chat(not an interview). It was like the guy had made up his mind to give me, my wife and 2 kids our visa before he called us. God made him to be our friend and we were very relaxed.I have talked to some of my friends in the house on phone and they actually showed that they are my brothers/sisters from another mum. Funny enough, I've never seen Bammyrichie, Paulash, Petit, Godblesschuks etc but I feel them. You all have played a role in my life and I cannot aptly express my appreciation. The best I can do is to contribute to discussions in the house and point out possible pitfalls to my poeple.Dont ever go with foreign currency (dollars) because they seem to always pick one or two notes that are not acceptable. First interview is better than being rescheduled.For those who won as singles, better continue with your application as such. it is better to win and come back for him/her after 5 years than both of you losing out. For those who have already done this and sent the forms back, relax, God of possibilities will still do it. Not by might...
For Mosestaboo, if you are the principal applicant, they are not interested in your spouse's certificate. Infact, they wont collect it from you. Same happened to me.

Above all, commit it all into God's hands. He is able.

congrats matee & phill, i am very happy for you guys...I pray more testimonies would continue to flow from this forum.

Exactly! they need each other to succeed at this point!
