Our experience
Dear forumites, i want to dedicate the success of our
interview to the most high God who is the author and the
finisher of our faith.I also want to sincerely thank you
all for your support,idea sharing and experience sharing.
This forum is the greatest thing to happen to any DV
winner.
My family and i had to stay in a hotel on the island a day
to the interview. The hotel was expensive but very
comfortable. We got to the embassy at 5:30am but couldnt
get into the car park until about 15mins to 6:00am because
it wasn't opened early. After we parked, we went to the
embassy and waited outside till about 6:30a.m whan we were
asked to line up. When it was our turn to go in, i was
asked to go and drop my children's snacks as food and
water was not allowed in. My husband and the kids went in
though. I later joined them after keeping the items in the
car.
We were asked to open all envelopes and given a number. We
were later screened and asked to go to the opposite
building where we paid our fees and went into the
interview room.
After sitting down for about 20mins, a friendly black lady
called our number and after sighting us, she asked me to
go and sit down with the kids while my husband submitted
our original and photocopy documents.
After about 10mins after he returned a family was called
to window 10. The lady was the winner. After the usual
swearing, the husband was asked to go and sit down with
their daughter. The consular officer asked the lady who
played the lottery for her. After the co has repeated
himself over and over again(the lady was probably not
understanding the guy's phonetics), the lady finally
answered and said my friend.The co then said your husband
and daughter were not included so they are not qualified.
The lady said ok and all her documents including their
pasports were passed to her and the co said try again next
year. It was just ridiculous that the lady did not utter a
word!
We were called to window 11 where we met a seemingly young
black guy with grey and black hair. After our swearing, he
passed our forms to us and said all of you should sign.
And my husband was like including the children? And he
said you can sign for them. My husband signed for himself
and the three kids. I signed mine. He later looked up and
said you can go and sit down with the kids and i sat down just behind my husband so i could hear the interview. It went thus:
CO: You are here because you won the DV lottery.
Him: Yes
Co: This is to ascertain your educational qualifications.
Him: Ok
CO: What is your highest level of education?
Him: ans
CO: When did you graduate?
Him: ans
CO: Did you do a project in school?
Him: ans
CO: what was the topic?
Him: ans
CO: Tell me about it.
Him: spoke on it for about 3mins
CO: Is that all?
Him: Basically
CO: How many pages was your project?
Him: ans
CO: So tell me more about it
Him: spoke again for another 3mins
CO: Tell me more about capital budgeting techniques
Him: ans
CO: How many courses did you do in your final year?
Him: ans
CO: Tell me about Taxation?
Him: spoke for like 1min
CO: What is the diference between financial accounting and
management accounting?
Him:ans
CO: Do you have any family pictures?
Him: Yes and brought out an album, it couldn't go through the space so he started fliping the pages for him and introducing the events and people in the album.
He brought out a second and smaller album and he took that from him. They included the baptism pictures of our three daughters which took place when they were 2mths old respectively.
CO: Did you adopt anyone of them?
Him: No
I guess he saw the countenance in my husband's face when he asked the last question, so he then said who ll pick up the visas? And he said me. He then gave him a visa pick up letter and said do not make any life changing decisions until you get your visas
Him: Ok
Meanwhile one other family and a boy were denied visas by the CO in window 10 while my husband was being interviewed. I wasn't listening because my attention was all on my immediate concern. Alot of people are still ignorant of the fact that you will be questioned based on your qualifications.
I just bless God for intervening on our behalf. God's will can never be changed even if delayed. My husband won the DV lottery in 1993 when we just met. He started the processing but couldn't complete it because then you needed affidavit of support and his step brother who was in the US refused to oblige him and he had the capacity to do so! Well his life continued and we later got married in 2001 and have been blessed with three kids and we live a good and blessed life. We played the lottery consistently since 2004 and alas he won again in 2010. It is a major miracle. He ll be going to the US now with his wife and kids. BAMIYO!!! Please rejoice with us, the Lord has been good to us!

Guyz, it is 9 days for us to go for our visa approval! We need God's favour and your prayers. Gudluck to every going for interview this week and the coming weeks. We shall all be successful!
I appreciate you KENNYEAST, FERDII, BOLA EMMANUEL, STONESANJAY, LANREB, HANNAT,NDU and all others too many to mention. You all have been great!
Am glad I helped! And others did too! While this forum exposes everything, so we shouldn't stamp down anything brought here even if there are criticisms. But Bamiyo, thunder did strike twice for your Husband. And the other woman should have asked for an interpreter. So bad, people go to the Interview without much info and going through past experiences.My pal that scheduled ought to come to Jos for reviews, I have not seen him, he may not be well equipped. It's like going for an exam without knowing how the questions are asked.It is bad! A lot of money is being wasted.
Congrats BAMIYO!
This is the Lord's doing, ur husband is highly favored by God, this goes to show us dat wat will be will be, no mata wat. We thank God and to Him be all the glory. Congratulations to ur lucky family. I Still find it difficult to beliv dat a broda could stand in his own broda's way of success, God is indeed bigger than any man.

@ Bamiyo and family. Congrats once again! To God be the glory!!
Thank God For Journey Mercies.
I arrived safely at JFK Airport in New York last week Friday, thru Qatar Airways. It was a splendid experience, though it was a long journey, as we had a stop-over at Doha Airport in Qatar.
I am presently in Rhode Island, and the weather is fairly cold.
Thank God for His mercies.
Congrats to everyone who just got thru their interviews.
It is well!
