Hello house,

I went to the embassy today with the intention of going for my visa but @ the end of the day i came home without it. To start with, a gentleman came and educate us about how to handle both the passport and the brown envelope. Well he said the brown envelope should be handed over to a US immigration officer @ the POE. He also said before you leave the embassy, check to see whether the data in the visa sticker tally's with the one in your passport. He went further and said if you don't report any discrepancy b4 leaving the place, you can not be help @ a later date.
My name was mentioned and our package was handed over to us. That of my wife was okay but eventhough my surname was spelt correctly on the brown envelope, one letter was omitted in the visa sticker. Well reported to them and they collected our package and told
us to wait 4 a while. After ten minutes, we were called to one of the windows and the CP apologies for the inconvenience caused us and told us that the correction will take some time. He then gave us a new visa collection ticket stating that we should come back in the 21st of May which is next week.
Guys, i must confess, I'm a little bit down. I taught this wahala process was going to end for me today but it didn't materialized.

I think your question is well answered in the information provided by the embassy. This is the paragraph that says it all:



This means you can gather all the necessary documents and show them on the day of your interview. Best of luck during your interview.

Your visa is already "cooked" and you have to just wait for some few days to possess it. I know waiting just keeps you behind but this is not a race. Now you can start to make your travel plans before you take delivery of your passport.

Police, Court, and Prison Records

For Cameroonians, the document involved is called the "Extrait du Casier Judicaire" or Bulletin N0. 3. It is issued by the Chief Court Clerk (Greffier en Chef) of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance in the capital of the province of the applicant's birth. This document shows convictions and other pertinent information or indicates ‘no record’ by saying in effect "person's identity verified." Under Cameroonian procedures, convictions and other records occurring anywhere in Cameroon are sent to the court in the applicant's provincial capital for filing, thus making this document effectively a national clearance. The court clerk in Yaounde also has duplicate records for persons born in Northwest and Far North Provinces. The applicant can obtain the Extrait in person by presenting his or her National Identity Card or birth certificate at the clerk's office, or by sending the card to an immediate relative who can take it to the office for the applicant. There may be a fee for this service.

Non-Cameroonians resident more than 6 months in Cameroon, must obtain a “Casier Judiciaire Spécial” from the Chief Court Clerk (Greffier en Chef) of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance in the capital of the province of the person's place of residence, or former residence if there is no record. The “Casier Judiciaire Spécial” can be obtained by the applicant in person, or by mailing a request to a relative or friend with the following information: name, date and place of birth, nationality, passport number and issuance information, number and date of any Cameroon visas issued, number and date of issuance of the Cameroon ID Card (Permis de Sejour), and dates of residence and address while in the district. There is a fee for this service.

You need to contact a family member or friend in Cameroon to find out more for you.
 
hi guys...i have to apologize for my long absence.i believe ive not been fair to most people who would have benefitted from what i would have posted on here. Especially considering the benefit i got esp on the Nigerian thread prior to my interview.I would still be around from time to time especially on the 2011 thread to offer my advice especially for those of you who have already received your visas and would love to know a thing or two about the states, whether before you travel or once youre here. I have learnt and experienced a lot since i came around and would love to share. Congrats to everybody and all the best to all as well

Hi Alexee, as i have noticed. u already have your visa prepared awaiting pick-up. congrats on that. I believe if you are coming with your family, yoy need to bring along with you some money. Depending on who is going to host you, you should be prepared to move out( esp if you come with your family) after at most 2 months. With flights, enquire generally, but visit Delta's office too because they have a direct flight. Anything more specific you would wanna know, i would be sticking around here and there. hope this helps.

Ammeck,
its been tough for the American people for the past few years due to the recession.Things have just gotten better, and if you might have read,the employment figures released for this month showed a high increase in the number of jobs created. The highest in the past 4 years. thats a very good sign. though in recession, i personally believe things are much better in europe, since i lived in london before moving here. just be positive, when you arrive, talk to the right people and you would be just fine. hope this helps.
