I picked up my visa yesterday Tuesday 29 June. I had my interview last Tuesday, 22 June and it went well. I have been waiting to pick up my visa before informing the House. I thank God for his Grace, mercies and favour in my life. On that day after the initial procedure and visa fee paid, I was checked in the interview hall. Then I did my documentation. The duplicate copies of documents were collected from me (I was not asked to show the originals of my credentials but for the police and medical certificates which were collected together with the duplicate copies of my documents). I was later called to window 11 by a white American lady. My interview went thus:
CO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
CO: You are here because you are selected for further processing in the diversity programme
Me: Yes
CO: Raise your hand and swear to tell the truth
Me: With right hand raised, I swear to tell the truth
CO: Thumb print (she directed me on how to place my fingers)
Me: Placed my fingers and thumb print
CO: You know you are qualified for further processing in the diversity programme by education
Me: Yes
CO: So it's you ability to answer the questions that I'll ask that will determine whether you are eligible for the visa or not
Me: Okay!

Me: Did the lecture ... for about 2 minutes
CO; (The CO raised her right hand and Said) Okay! You are eligible for the visa. Congratulations and welcome to the United States of America
Me: Thank you very much
CO: She asked me to go pick up my visa yesterday, gave a pick up white paper with instructions and a brown slip (not yellow slip) stapled on the pick up slip to me
Me: Thank you very much once again
So I picked up my visa yesterday, Tuesday, 29 June. To God all the honour and glory must be.

Again, is there any cheap airline one can recommend for me to go to Atlanta? Delta Airline is exorbitant.
