HI RUMUKY, GREETINGS AND HOPE YOU ARE DOING GREAT. PLEASE I WANT TO TELL YOU NOT TO WASTE MONEY ASKING FOR AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT FROM THE USA. IT IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE STARTING FROM DV 2010. WHEN I WAS FILLING MY APPLICATION FORM AND CAME ACROSS THAT, I CALLED THE EMBASSY TO ASK AND THEY TOLD ME IT DOES NOT APPLY AND THAT I SHOULD WRITE N/A (NOT APPLICABLE). PETIT AS WELL WENT FOR HER INTERVIEW WITHOUT IT. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR SECOND LETTER (INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT LETTER) THEY WILL CLEARLY STATE IT THAT ".... YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE A FINANCIAL SPONSOR IN THE UNITED STATES..." AND GOES FURTHER TO STATE THAT ".....NO APPLICANT IS INITIALLY REQUIRED TO PRESENT A PROF OF SPONSORSHIP...." ALL THAT THEY WILL BE INTERESTING IN IS WHERE YOU'LL LIVE AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PERSON YOU'LL BE LIVING WITH. DON'T STRESS YOURSELF SPENDING MONEY TO SEND AND RECEIVE DOCUMENTS THROUGH DHL. SAVE THAT MONEY AND BUY ONE WINTER JACKET FOR YOURSELF AND ONE FOR ME. ALL THE BEST OF LUCK.

Shibadave,
Congrats for your date and I am sure the Lord will see you through.
The right thing for your to do is proceed for your medicals ASAP , how long it will take to complete shouldnt be an issue to you. Also I will advice you start preparation for your eventual interview almost immediately too.
Best of luck.

Shinadave,
For the 2nd NL, I will advice u to visit the post office/agency where you RECEIVED YOUR FIRST NOTIFICATION LETTER;
On medicals, print the email KCC sent you and use that to commerce your medicals NOW.
Take these to heart and START NOW.
GOOD LUCK
Navigator
 
Thanks for the info @SHINADAVE. I think it better for we who are current for January should contact kcc and NIPOST asap. Cause I'm yet to get my 2nl too.

To the whole house, I wish to inform you that I landed in Atlanta yesterday. The decision to take off came suddenly when my leave application was approved at the 11hour. I intend to come back Jan/February to prepare well for final take off after properly settling my family down here.

Petit/Bammyrichie: I hail you ooo.
Click to expand...


Oga Matee, congratulations for safe landing. How obodo oyinbo land be? Snow don dey fall? Abi na hammattan? The weather dey one kin? abi ??? :D :D :D

We shall be glad if u could gist us with the cross-over experience, in-flight e.t.c. Did you carry garri and fried meat along too :D :D :D

I hail una ooo[/QUOTE]


My good people, thanks for the congratulatory messages. The journey was cool but it took us almost 22 hours to get to Atlanta via Delta line from Abuja. We had a stop-over at Dakar before landing at JFK. I never knew that there was a direct flight straight to Atlanta from Lagos that wont take more than 12 hours. So, ask questions before you decide on the airline and the route.

For visa lottery immigrants, they dont ask any questions other than taking your fingerprints. If you are changing your final destination address, it shall be done at your POE. The address on my package was New Jersey but we changed it to Atlanta. We were then directed to a small office where they took our fingerprints again, for activation of green card. No questions.

Just before landing, we were given a custom form(one for the whole family) where you have to indicate the items in your luggage. I opted to indicate that I had food(ijebu gaari) but we didnt carry any fish or meet product. I chose to indicate that we were carrying food because I didnt was to look stupid if eventually they decide to check our bags. Secondly, we decided not to carry any meat and face any delay or unnecessary questioning. Any you know, why should I carry something and lie about it. I later learnt that some people carried meat and fish but cant say whether they indicated it on their form or not. In all my previous trips to the US, I never tried it so cant say what may come out of it.

Pls dont carry more than $10,000 and ensure that you check the contents of your bags and any other items people request you to deliver to somebody abroad.

The weather here in Atlanta is not bad at all. You know, Atlanta is in the south. Maybe the story will be different in Alaska or Michigan (laugh). However, for a family man, it is better to reside in the South and not somewhere like New York to raise your kids.

In all, let us continue to seek the face of God for all our steps. There is a way that seemeth right unto man but the end thereof may be filled with destruction. God shall continue to guide our steps.

For those still waiting for their interview, cast all your hope on God. Those who fight on their knees are sure to have victory than those who trust in swords. Play your own part and leave the rest to God.

In the end, we shall all sing the song of victory.

LOL

Matee,
This was really nicely worded, detailed and very lucid.
Thanks for the info.
Do not forget to always remember us in your prayers ooooooooooo
 
Mr Matee,
I am glad you arrived safely. Welcome to America(as a legal permanent resident). Extend my regards to your family.
 
@Matee, I am happy that you had a safe and wonderful flight to Atlanta. And for those of us still looking into God's face for successful interview, we shall find favor.

I just found out that my interview will be in second week of January. I am starting my medical tomorrow, cause that will give me rest of mind to review my document and prepare myself well.
