Thanks once again!

Congrats Vicmac2 and family.To God be the Glory.
 
Hi thanks
As it is now, i have sampled all opinion and the best thing for me now is to go and settle down first and probably come home annually for the next 5 years before i could file in for her . but i will still sample immigration lawyers opinions when i get to the state.

Hi Temmy,
you don't have to wait for 5 yrs.check the link i posted last week for clarification.
Cheers
 
I know it is in Lagos. So u will leave ur wife here or what do u plan to do. Am kinda in that sticky situation.Hello all, must Police Report come from Alagbon, I have done that shit there twice, but now that all is real, could I have it done elsewhere like I just did for my NPC? For instance in Jos however I know Medicals must be at Kamoras. What about Police Report, must it be done at Alagbon. Those guys dey make cash.

I did mine through the State CID in Port Harcourt,but it was sent to Alagbon for endorsement.They are more like a collection point and it costs far more-10k.Good deal for me as it saved me the trouble of travelling to Lagos.

Okay I will just leave it till I get to Lagos.Last time my brother pulled strings and we paid N5K.
 
Hi,
I guess Alagbon Close is more authentic, as everyone on dis Forum got their Reports there.
U can call Mr.Joshua Ogwo( a police officer) on 08030606731 and negotiate for like 4k or 5k.
Cheers!

Yeah it expires after 3months, so I will leave it until when in Lagos in August/September.

**IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE 2012 DIVERSITY LOTTERY PROGRAM**



We regret to inform you that, due to a computer programming problem, the results of the 2012 Diversity Lottery that were previously posted on this website have been voided. They were not valid and were posted in error. The results were not valid because they did not represent a fair, random selection of entrants, as required by U.S. law.



If you checked this website during the first week in May and found a notice that you had been selected for further processing or a notice that you had not been selected, that notice has been rescinded and is no longer valid.



A new selection process will be conducted based on the original entries for the 2012 program.



If you submitted a qualified entry from October 5, 2010 to November 3, 2010, your entry remains with us. It will be included in the new selection lottery. Your confirmation number to check results on this website is still valid.



We expect the results of the new selection process to be available on this website on or about July 15, 2011.



We regret any inconvenience this might have caused.

Frequently Asked Questions



Q: Why was it necessary to invalidate the names that were selected?



* U.S. law requires that Diversity Immigrant visas be made available through a strictly random process. A computer programming error resulted in a selection that was not truly random.



* Since the computer programming error caused an outcome that was not random, the outcome did not meet the requirements of the law, and would have been unfair to many DV entrants.



Q: Is the 2012 Diversity Visa Program cancelled?



* No. The 2012 program will continue. The computer programming error has been identified and corrected. The Department of State will run a new selection using all the qualified entries (ones received between October 5, 2010 and November 3, 2010) it received for the 2012 program.



Q: Do I have to submit a new application?



* No. You may not submit a new application. We will use all qualified entries received during the October 5 to November 3, 2010 registration period.



Q: Will you open a new entry period?



* New entries will not be accepted.



Q: I checked the Entry Status Check website after May 1 and it said I had been selected. Can I apply for a DV visa?



* Unfortunately results previously posted on this website were not valid because the selection process was not fair or random. We will take the entries of all individuals who sent in their registration during the original October 5 to November 3, 2010 time period and run a new lottery. We regret any inconvenience or disappointment this has caused. We expect new results to be available on this website on or about July 15, 2011.



Q: How can I check the results of the new selection?



* The new results should be available on this website on or about July 15, 2011. The confirmation code you received when you registered is still valid for use on the website.



Q: Was the Department of State hacked? Was my personal information at risk?



* We have no evidence that this problem was caused by any intentional act. No unauthorized party accessed data related to the DV program.



* This appears to be solely the result of a computer programming error.
 
This is true as 2012 dv lottery has been cancelled! God will still favour those who has already been chosen IJMN! Ferdiii and others we pray it will still work together for your favour IJMN!
