Folks, in my 2nd NL, the location of my interview is US Embassy Ring Road East. Is it the same as their embassy @ Cantonments? Does the American embassy have two offices? Please i need help especially those who have gone 4 interview. Shalom!!
@ ammeck philadelphia is suposd to be my POE but am considering going wit delta which is atalanta bound.
1. wil i drop all docs for immigration at atalanta or philadelphia since delta wil stil fly me to phily.
kindly assist on this
Atlanta will be your POE, so you have to drop all your documents. You can't take your connecting flight without going through immigration at Atlanta airport, but you still have to maintain your address at Philadelphia during the process.
HI Ben and everyone,
As stmykael rightly said, i ve arrived safely in NEW YORK. the flight was smooth but tooooooo long! ha. ha.. i kept checking the time left for landing on my small screen and i always ended up saying "oh God,when?".. i think its cuz i took a straight flight with Delta Airlines. and i was too hungry too cuz the food they served cld not even satisfy a kid..ha..ha.
Anyway, i didnt come along with my son. Godwilling, i will go for him in march or so since the visa wld expire in april.
I arrived on saturday and went o the social security office on monday to apply fpr my number. however, i was told to come after 10 working days after my arrival. ie, you can only apply after spending 10 days afer your arrival. i dont know abt other states though. so , i just have to wait cuz without the SSN, you cant do much.
The cold is unbelievable! even with the sun shining high, its still soooooo cold. ba hey, i am managing it well.
The procedure at the immigration is pretty much the same as elaborated by those who have already come. the brown envelope is taken,do fingerprinting,take passport picture, sign a form and thats it. i had to queue fpr sometime cos there were a number of people waiting for their turn.
so...i am here, hoping and praying that i get the SSN early so that i can start doing something. i am researching too on the possible area of study to land me quick job. and here, from what i ve heard, it is in the health sector. the thing is , you need a cert form USA to make you more marketable. however, foriegn certs too can be converted to match US standard.
So people, greetings from NEW YORK! we will catch up later.
Hi, I also arrived in new york in november with my wife. we applied the next day for the social security in queens (jamaica), but nobody told us to wait for 10 days to pass before applying. we received it in less than a week

Hey, I received my 2nd nl last wk and it's the same location with the fon # 233-21-775348. They're still keeping the old records, as it's indicated in the area code which is now 0302. They have only one embassy; it's the one at Cantonments, that huge embassy. Peace! Benniit

I really want to know much more about the re-entry permit.

Once again, I wish you well in all your undertakings.
God bless you.

i sincerely apologise for the delay in my interview experience.
my experience started from 10 pm the previous night cos i couldnt sleep i was sleeping and waking up and checking the time always.
i got to the embassy at 6 am and i already met some ppl at the embassy here in watercarrington in lagos.
we were told the necessary intructions and 6 15 am and at 6 30, we were told to line up non immigrants on one side and immigrants on the other side.
we were ushered in and told to pay 819 dollars. i gave them 820 and got 1 dollar back.
i was called to window 12 at exactly 9 05 am . i knew the white blonde guy with glasses would call me cos i already saw him checking my credentials.
Co Good Morning
me Good morning sir
then a staff interupted him and was talking to the person for like 2 minutes and i gained so much strength thru that . he later faced me back and apologised.
co Are you the person on this form?
me Yes
co can you swear ..................
me i did
co sign below the form here
me i did
co how old are you?
me answered?
co are you married?
me no
co have you ever been married?
me no
co do you have plans to get married in the immediate soon?
me yes 1 or 2 years time
co 1 or 2 days time ?
me no years.
co tell me who is this woman you want to marry tell me about her
me God knows
co ok...
co what is your discipline?
me answered
co what do you do now?
me answered
co did you go to work yesterday?
me yes and i m going back after this interview.
Co where do you work?
me answered
Co tel me your job functions
me answered
Co where did you do your nysc and what was ur job function there?

co . just pulsed and started typing..., went to pick up the typed paper and collected the tag i got outside and said i have found you eligible for the visa, pick up ur visa nxt week thursday at ....... congratulations and i wish you a good luck in united state.
Observations:
they dont like too much talk
be bold, calm and honest ( they have innermind that helps them to know when you are lieing).
avoid giving an answered that will generate further question that may fall u
if u are asked a question that you dont know just tell them you dont know dont try to form as if u know it. i was asked about Biosecurity which is slightly linked to my course of study in schl but i told him i dont know it (simple).
Dont try to impress them by trying to speak as fast and fluent as they are. speak the normal way you can and be audible.
pls use only original documents they have ways of checking .
if you are still in school pls go with every evidence of on going education eventhough , they may not check. like my masters wasnt checked at all.
Dont tear any page from your passport even if you have denials from other countries just leave it there.
pls pray very well for Gods favour

Thanks Temmy for sharing your experience with us. Congratulations once again.
hey folks,
in case i win the dv 2012, can i asked my interview to be at the usa embassy in china rather than ghana?
cos a residence in china now and moving back to ghana for an interview will be costly..
thanks
You can have it anywhere, once you are a legal resident.
@Kyerewaa, We thank the Almighty for your safe arrival. We pray that whatever that you have set your eyes on shall be done for you.
@Odikro, Once you are a legal resident in China you can opt to have your interview there. This can be done on the forms that you sent back to KCC. The first thing the officials will check is your resident permit in China. I'll advice that you check from the embassy as these people can be funny at times.
@Ammeck, My brother how is the job search going. Stay blessed.

donkay long time, how far, u are still in accra, wen are u leaving? Gudluk.

My brother, I'm doing fine. Yes I'm still in Accra. I want to ensure that I wind up really well before taking the journey. I plan on leaving at the end of February and will be putting up with an in-law in Ohio. Will remember you in prayers. Stay blessed.
my brother married after entering the lottery. can he add her wife to the processing? if so should the person providing the affidavit provide only one document or two document for each of them.
A single AOS will do for both of them. No need for two AOS. Has your brother been selected for further processing? If yes, did he include his wife in the forms that he sent back to KCC? Or is he planning to include her for the interview?
As has been elaborated a lot on this forum, the COs first presume an intent of marriage for the purposes on immigrating in such matters. If the marriage is real, then your brother should not be worried at all. If not, these people have a way of extracting inconsistencies and using that as a basis to deny visa issuance. In all these cases it will be probably safe for him to do it alone and come for his wife later on. A little bit of elaboration on the case will afford us the chance to advice appropriately.
@Bennit, I hope preparations are ongoing very smoothly. The lord is on your side and you will be successful in you interview. Stay blessed.
