DV-2010 Winners from Ghana

Kwamepoku77 said:
Hi All,

Let me first apologize for my inability to touch base with you since i got to the states. Today, 2nd Aug, 2010 is exactly my 1 yr of stay in the USA. It has not been easy but the Lord has always been faithful. Most of us arrived at a time the US economy was begging for support. Most jobs did not hire, even if they did it was either part time or seasonal (this could be for a month or two)

I had my social security card in two weeks and green card in a month (had these two docs in one month)
Was employed by the world's largest home improvement company as a seasonal associate from Sept - Dec 2009. I did work hard and they rehired me full time (permanent) Feb this year. The pay is good. I have a lot of hours including overtime. Stayed with my host for one month, later joined 3 other colleagues to rent a 4 bedroom house. In June this year i moved on to rent my own one bedroom apartment. It's a beautiful place and I love it.

Preparing to write my GMAT soon and go to graduate school. This is how far the LORD has brought me.
To all who are yet to receive their visas, know that we serve a LIVING GOD and impossible certainly is not and cannot be the WORD! Our God reigns!!!.

This is the sort of motivational words we expect from our past winners who are already there and have experienced life in the States.

My Interview Experience in Lagos Nigeria

My wife was the primary applicant, we arrived at the embassy at about 6am with our 3 boys.
After a long wait and the normal process from the line to the payment and to the main hall. we were called to window 9 to submitt our documents, after that we went back to sit down. At about 8:45am we were called to window 10 guess who, the popular Chinese lady.

CO: All of you raise your hands and swear to tell the truth today
We: we swear
CO: name, date of birth and place of birth
Wife: answered
CO: what's ur highest level of education
Wife: ooooooo
CO: When did you graduate
Wife: ooooooo
CO: When did you do your NYSC
Wife: ooooooo
CO: ok
CO: What was your project topic
Wife: oooooooooo
CO: What was the conclusion
Wife: answered .
CO: Did you meet your husband during your service year.
Wife:No
CO now asked me: Where did you meet your wife
ME: told her
CO now asked my 1st son- 7 yrs old: are you in school
Son: yes
CO: How about your brothers
Son: all in school.
CO: Do you sleep with your brothers in the same room.
Son: yes
CO: who else sleep in the same room with you

CO: What is your favourite food that mummy cooks for you
Son: Rice and checken

Son: work and takes care of us
CO: You all are qualify to migrate to America.
WE: Thank you so much.

These people are nice, however i did not observe much becouse we were the 2nd Dv to be called up. Just be yourself and also be confident - God will do the rest.

There was something i observed, the security personnel were just too kind to us. They were full of smiles and nice to usl, infact it surprised me alot. However, it was the Lord's doing.
The fasting and prayers no get part 2.
This forum is just too great and full of wonderful people, i am proud of you guys. My big thanks goes to our Ghanian friends for the support and kindness, i love you guys, we shall meet some day in Yankee.

Ohis and Oddod, you guys are next in line, i am wishing you guys a successful interview - go get your visas in Jesus name

Hi jeoqui,

Congratulations to you and your family. Welcome to amerika
 
I meant which forum are you popularly found? Ghanaian forum or Nigerian one?

By the way, I have sent my forms this morning to KCC as u can see from my signature; I've been assured by Fedex that it'll get to KCC in three days time.


After sending the forms, I've realized that I made a mistake by wrongly dating the form. Instead of Today's date e.g.
mm-dd-yyyy, 08-03-2010, I made it mm-dd-2010, 03-03-2010. I am humbly asking the forum that when do I contact KCC and draw their attention about this since the forms will probably get to them in three days time?

Thanks, guys. Ben

This is not a big problem. Wait for at least a month to contact kcc either by phone or email explaining the mistake. Alternatively, you can send an updated forms with a cover letter to kc but I prefer using either the phone or email.
 
Thanks, Ammeck. I think I will wait for the one month and then contact them.

The second letter sent to me from KCC stated 840. however, when we got to the embassy, we were told to pay 819. So i don't really get it and i refused to ask any question before they change their mind (for family of 5 you know the implication).
