trixsam,
your people are still waiting to learn from your experience, you collected your visa yesterday, that same yesterday you updated your signature but you never found it neccessery to share your interview experience with your fellow country men.
Why not emulate the Nigerians and Ghanians for the wonderful work they've been going.
You profited alot from this and other forum, it is time you give back to the same forum.
Please we are waiting, still waiting, and we shall continue to wait. Post your interview experience.
One love.
Joequi is right, Trixsam
In fact, we're all here to share experiences and thoughts. Trixsam, we understand and know that with the help and prayers of the forumers, you had a successful interview. We humbly request from you that you also share your interview experience with us, as others do. That's the only way we the upcoming ones can also sail through. Peace! Benniit

congrats trixsam.
You can see that your experience is almost like mine. Its so easy. By the way your questions were very few. Me am now planning to leave 3rd sept for chicago. But i have to slaughter some goats for the farewell.
@Trixsam, where did u pay ur interview fee? at the embassy or at the bank as a demand draft? in my 2NL i have been instructed to pay the amount in any nationalized bank as a DD n this i think applies to all DV lottery winners. i need a clarification on this. Another one is about the fee, in my 2NL it was mentioned as $840 with effect from july 13th 2010. i contacted the US consulate here n they told me that the amount is 819. I;m at the crossroads as I'm planning to pay the amount at the bank as DD as instructed. help coz i need to get a clear clarification b4 that day comes

Mjamaa.. i paid my interview fees @the Nairobi Consulate just before the interview and every other Dv-Winner did that as per your case this is quite interesting I thought the notification letters are all the same with same instructionz....I wuld advice you to call your respectivce consulate ASAP clear out the air on this matter....Call the Embassy wea yu are supposed to go for the interview to set out everything clear.....Av just chekd the Embassy's Website @ New Dehli and the fee is $819 for DV-Winnerz...am aslo aware that DD is common way of transacting in India ......BUT I still insist you call the embassy to set thingz straight...any other forumer can add on this
Everyone
Trixsam, Kudos for the successful interview. You can now start preparing for your travel.
Mjamaa, my 2NL also indicates that the fee is $840.
Guys I have been away for almost 2 week.For one week I was in the US and the whole of this week been busy preparing some documents. While I was in the US , the Tokyo Embassy sent me a letter requesting that I should submit my documents for pre-screening prior to my interview date which is 7th september. All the documents they requested for are ready save for the secondary evidence. They indicated that if my birth certicate was issued more than 6 months after being born then I needed to submit a secondary evidence such as prenatal cards, primary school report forms, baptsmal card etc. Some of these documents can't be traced and so been working to get what I can to give to them. I want to do my best and have these documents sent to them by 20th July.
Pray for me as I put documets in order.
God bless you all.

Oliseh, that's what i told u earlier, they indicated $840 in the 2NL. i made a call to the US Consulate here and they were just telling me to pay $819, i doubt if they really know what's written in that letter. concerning the secondary evidence i think i'm also in the same sitaution though I haven't got any letter telling me the same but i will just carry my baptismal card in case they ask for it. so are u going to pay $840 or 819? i suggest u better contact those guys for them to give u the correct info. all the best
