hi to all
wish to thank you all for the reply to my questions and encouragements.i wish all those whose interview dates have been fixed succes. For those current i say goodluck as you prepare your documents and wishing those who havent been current, current in the next visa bulletin
Also according to the recently released visa bulletin this evening, i am current in july from my signature above does it mean i will be scheduled for an interview this july or will it be in august or september? i am very much scared cuz if you read my signatures above you people will discouver that i received my notification letter very late i;e in january 2010 and i sent it back to kcc but in February so i was thinking that this wil affect my interview date as they treat files on a first come first serve bases.
pls i will love to read from you all

my brother ohis, it is the lord's doing. From my study of previous bulletine (from 200 - 2009) i came to the conclusion that we must be current in July or August and the Lord has done it. i need few hundred to be current.

And the next bulletin will be ok as well.

goodluck.

Hello House,

It's been a while since I have been out here, I have completed everything needed and just on the countdown for my interview which is to come up in 2 weeks 1 day from now. I have read through 60 pages of the entire 107 pages as at today and now have clear ideas on how the interview works. I really want to commend everyone that has contributed to this forum, and I hope that we stick around here even whilst out there in the usa. One important idea that stuck while I was going through the thread was that from interview experiences shared, we have earned the Visa and the green card as it may, only that the interview is only a formal conduct to make certain that the visa is being granted to the person who earned it, however, for this reason I think there is nothing to be fearfull about, all I think the CO's are trying to figure out is to match our presentations with our claimed level of experience at it may apply to work or school qualifications attained.

At any rate, I am going to get my claim mine in 2 weeks and 1 day from now, then return to share the good news with the house, @ petit, phluck, gasper, bammyrichie, fiso, joequi, ferdii and any other names missed, I really appreciate the good work that you guys have relentlessly put up, and I pray that we would enjoy the grace to share more good news in this forum Insha Allah (Amin) .

Hi all,

Thanks for your support all through the months and I can tell you it has not been an easy wait but it’s been worth it. Congratulations Ayoblack and please keep in touch as I no longer have your number. @ Fiso, my husband and I were together b4 we applied, we had a baby and applied as a couple. However, we were not legally married then cos my husband was expecting his papers here in the UK and we could neither go to Naija for the wedding rites or registry here cos he was illegal. We only did the traditional introduction in absentia in naija. We thought we could claim being legally married with that and customary marriage but a lawyer told us to stipulate in the forms that Kentucky sent to us that our introduction was our traditional marriage.

Anyway, my husband got his leave to remain indefinitely here a few weeks after we got the notification of the lottery. We then quickly went to the registry here and I also did a change of name last month.

The Interview Experience.

There was the usual wait and we were eventually called in. My husband was the principal applicant and his educational qualifications and other documents we took with us were collected. They collected our AOS form and our bank statements as prove of means to sustain, we were then directed to go pay the non-refundable fee. We then had to wait for a long time before the actual interview. The interviewer took our fingerprints again and we took an oat. My husband was asked to confirm where he completed his masters program (uk) and first degree (uk) and the job he is presently doing. The interviewer did not ask about the waec cert from naija neither did he mention anything about my USA visiting visa refusal in the same embassy 3 yrs ago. i was not asked any question or why my marriage certificate had a different date to the one in the form were we wrote our trad. marriage date. That was the end of the interview and he congratulated us and told us to expect the visa between 3-5 working days but we got it 2 days later.

Best wishes to all that are remaining.

Thank you, I am a female here on behalf of Mr Smalllacrimose. Yes the interview was done in lagos because he choose CP instead of AOS in the states. The pros of doing CP is that it is faster and more straightforward. The cons is that if you were denied, you wont be able to return to the states (or it would be difficult) under a nonimmigrant visa..(F-1 visa, or B1/B2 visa) since they require non-immigration intent. Once you file for DV-lottery you have shown interest in becoming a permanent resident.

Pros of doing AOS is that you remain in the US while you apply or adjust status. If the person was denied at the interview, you can appeal which you cant do if you choose CP. The consulars decision is final at a US embassy abroad. Most people are comfortable with the fact that they can appeal if anything goes wrong plus you dont have to waste money for ticket to fly back home

Cons of doing AOS is that it can be a complicated process and if care is not taken, the whole process from when you become current can take between 2-5months. If you have a high case number, you dont have that time to gamble because you have to adjust your status before Sept 30th. If the process is not completed before the deadline, the person status in the US may become out of status or illegal.

Hi smalllacrimose,

Congratulation on your successful interview yesterday. It's also good to know that since you opted for CP, you came all the way from the states for your interview in Nigeria. I was wondering what would have happened if you were not successful in your in your interview yesterday.
Anyway since you are come from the states, could you please tell us more about the employment situation there in these recession period? May be any information as to the standard of living there as a green card holder will also be appreciated.
Congratulation once again
