Our interview experience
We (my wife and I) got to he embassy at about 6:15am, by then those for 6:30 appointment were already asked to line up.
7:00am appointment called to form a line.then we were seperated into immigrant and non immigrants.
Since I wasn’t sure about how I was going to submit my wifes form which I brought along, I asked the man in charge of immigrants and he said do you have the money to pay for the 2 of you I said absolutely and the He said no problem.
We got to the first point for appointment confirmation and the man said you are married now I replied yes He then wrote dv- and wrote receipt for two persons to be paid when we enter.
We were the asked to sit down. We were eventually called for checking and my wife went first then
We were allowed into the embassy. I paid for the two of us and later we went through th2nd checking point.
Then we entered the interview hall and sat down. My wife was really anxious and restless but i kept on cheering her up that we would succeed. Latter i heard my name to window 12 and both of us stood up and went to the window.
At window 12 was a plump middle aged Nigerian light complexioned woman. Good morning ma I said and she replied you are now married I said yes. She said ok. Mean while I had started scanning the table in front of the woman, i saw my own for ds-230, a print out of the initial data i submitted while entering for the dv with my picture on it. But my wife's form was not there, point of note I sent the form to kcc after our wedding but they replied that my case is now with the embassy. So prepared as i was i brought out a new form which i had already filled from home and gave it to the woman. My wife was added to my case there and then. She requested for my credentials the originals and a photocopy, and my wife birth certificate alone which i gave to her she then said you can go and sit down you will be called. So we went back to our sit.
Soon the interviews started

@ vicmac2. The medical cost... Adult: 21k... Children below 5years: 11.5k.. But it can be reduced if u have ur imminization record. For example, i paid 21k, my wife paid 15k because she had some vacin during her pregnancy late last year. My daugher is 5 months plus and she paid 4.5k, because she's had almost the whole vacins except one which she will take at 6months. Note: It's like children between 5 and 12 or 15 years pays higher 28k... In all me, wife and daughter paid 40.5k... Hope this helps! Gudluck and God bless!
