Dv 2011 winners from nigeria report here

Bamiyo said:

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!

I am happy for you and your family, what the Lord says He will do, He will surely do. He never fails.
 
I just receive a mail from my sponsor that indicates we are not welcomed, consequently, I need to change my point of entry as soon as possible. This was the person we helped to travel about 10 yrs ago, and doing very well right now. May God help Nigerians. Pls guys how do I go about the change at the new point of entry, though still thinking of where next to go. God bless us all.

wow.....good thing this happened after your interview.
Never worry God will see you through.
Many persons have changed their address at the POE, just notify the officer at the POE.
 
Has anyone heard from the Nigerian member whose winning country was Niue in the OC region? I would love to hear his/her experience and how the mistake was handled, it would be good info for future winners to prepare for any eventuality.
