Hi computek09,
Good to know that you are preparing. Any update about the fares so far?
Any good information about the fares, I'm more interested in it.
Hello House,
Anytime i go through our Nigerian brother’s thread, i ask myself whether the processing of DV case at their embassy is different from ours. I'm saying this because, i realize most of them are able to know their fate during their first interview.
On the day of my interview, i realized all the DV winners who went before me were put on administrative processing but were not ask to bring additional document.
Also i remember Americanbound said some time that he think they produce Visas in batches of 70. Could this be the reason for the numerous administrative processing at the US embassy here?

Hi Alexee,
I am a Nigerian. I don't think Dv processing in Nigeria is different form what is obtainable in Ghana. Those who knew their fate are all members of the Nigerian thread and no single member of that thread has been denied visa so far, simply because the thread is highly educative, informative and prayerful thereby creating high optimism even b4 the interview. People discuss interview experiences, documents to bring and not to bring, the dos and don't s e.t.c.
Some members of the Nigerian thread with successful interview would have been placed on Administrative Processing, but they perfected their documents prior to their respective interviews due to advices gained from the forum. Nevertheless, the embassy do deny some Nigerians visa, but they are those who are unaware of the existence of the forum.
The same I think is happening at your end, many Ghanaians are not aware of your thread for advices , hence they make mistakes and the resultant effect is Administrative processing.
One love.

Hello everyone, i am new to this thread and have been following it for sometime now and wish to express my sincere appreciation to all those who have been contributing fervently.
First and foremost, my husband is a lucky winner of the 2010 dv lottery. We received the 2nl yesterday and realised that our son, whom we had 2 weeks after posting the 1nl was not included as a beneficiary eventhough we forwarded the necessary information to KCC and even received a confirmation that it would be added to our case. I would like to know from anyone:
1. Can we take the necessary documents to the embassy on the day of the interview and explain it to the CO?
2. During the interview, when one is asked to sign the signature, do u sign ur signature or write ur full name. I am asking this b'cos nervouseness could cause your signature to change and can't it affect you?
3. Our son is only 9months old. Would he be required to do the madicals and do we need his passport to start with medicals?
thank you.

hi Abutay, I think since your file has been transferred to your country's embassy, I suggest you contact them to know the next action to take before you go for your interview. Nothing also prevent you from present the necessary documents to the embassy on the interview day when all avenues to get a feedback from them has failed.
You need to sign the same signature you use on the DSP and DSS forms.
Your son will require passport for his medicals and a visa to travel with you.
Thanks
Thaks a lot ammeck09 for your response. My husband has already emailed the us embassy in Accra and we are awaiting response. Will let the house know the response we get from them. About my son's passport, we requested for it about 3 months ago and has still not recieved it, can you imagine? we are hoping it comes soon. But can he travel on my passport?

I know it takes a while for those people in Accra to respond to emails and letters but let's keep our fingers crossed knowing they will reply you soon. About your son travelling on your passport, I don't think it's acceptable for the dv lottery since everyone being approved must travel on hie/her own passport and each being given a different visa number.
Hi alexee357, you have barely 1 month and some few days to go. Our prayers are with you - at the end He will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.

If you travel to the US the answer is NO, anyone entering the US even days old babies need a pass port. Keep faith!

ADVICE TO THOSE WHO INTEND USING OCCUPATION AS A BASIS OF QUALIFICATION FOR THE DV INTERVIEW
I met a man this morning who had a successful interview with his wife somewhere last month and as such was given a visa collection card. He said to his dismay, he was disqualified on the day he and his wife were so happy that they were going for their visa.
He claim he is a vocational studies teacher so he used his work as a basis of quailification. On the D-day, he said the consular officer told them that unfortunately his work as a vocational teacher does not qualify him so he was disqualified. Can you imagine being told to come for your visa and at the end of the day being disqualified? I pray that this does not happen to any member of this great thread.
MY ADVICE IS THAT IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF YOUR OCCUPATION QUALIFYING YOU AND YOU HAVE THE EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION, PLEASE USE IT INSTEAD OF YOUR OCCUPATION.
