congratulations brother, i'm really happy for you. We can't wait for the full details of the interview.
Congrats. One love
my interview xperience.
@ exactly 1:38 am, on thursday 28th jan. 2010, i woke up n began to read thru all the interview xperiences from the nigeria thread i have printed.
I reached the american embassy @ exactly 4:50 am. This was because i wanted have a good parking place.
At exactly 6am to my amazement i saw a lot of people trooping in the compound like termites. I was really shocked. We were told by the security men to come to the entrance of the embassy, which we were separated into two(immigrant and non-immigrant), one of them came round to check our appointment letters and told as to enter the embassy. Inside the embassy the dv cases were called to window 1 for our forms which we filled. This forms cautions one of inelegibility, it is either u choose education or occupation. Two men did not meet the requirement based on their occupation so they left without paying the visa fees. So i and other two gentlemen and a lady filled the forms and paid our visa fees(i paid in gh¢1162.50). The first person was called. It didnt take him five minutes and he returned with his visa pickup sheet and we congratulated him. Bt. Could u believe that this young man did not submit any affidavit of support? He even told us b4 his interview that his father is yet to post his affidavit of support, so he would bring it next time. He said the co asked him only two questions and got his congrats. He was asked to come for his visa on feb. 12.
Then next was another gentleman who spent almost an hour there which made me begin to sweat. This man was in a very nice suit and one could mistakenly take him for a co. He finally came back almost in tears, cos he was denied. U know the big mistake he made? This man should've used education instead of occupation. He told the man he is a computer engineer and plenty of questions were asked on that field and he fumbled. So the co said, "i'm sorry" and that was the end of the road for this gentleman.
As i was trying to console him i overheard my name called to window 5. I just sprung silently and muttered, to god be the glory!!!
N here it goes:
Me: Goodmorning sir!
