I got to the embassy this morning at exactly 6am. At 6.45am we were asked to line up. DV applicants had a different line from other applicants. We were checked into the waiting room while I got tally number 9. After, we proceeded to another checkpoint where we were checked in for the 2nd time, before we were finally ushered to the embassy building. I was told to pay at the last counter. I paid N124,000 and proceeded into the main hall where the interview was held. I was called to counter 10 to submit all my original documents, international passports, 3 passport photographs, medical reports and immunization records, then we were all seated.
At 10:20am, i was called to window 10.. Here are the details

She started typing something on her computer, and she excused herself for a minute and came back after the next minute and told me she is convinced that am qualified for the DV immigrant visa, I smiled. She congratulated me and welcomed me to USA and handed me the yellow letter for visa pickup.
To all those waiting to go for their interview, God will show himself merciful, but you have to really build up courage to look them in the eyes and give answers. Alot of people received visas today, the few ones that were refused while i was there didn't perform as such, like they werent speaking loud, another one was asked what a cell is in biology, because he didnt know, they asked him to define Geography, he didnt know, they denied it. If you lie, they'll be able to tell and will ruin your chances. This forum has contributed to my success immensely.
