Dv 2011 winners from nigeria report here
- Thread starter KENNYEAST
- Start date
Congratulations everyone in the house, and apologies for my being absent all this while, my job takes all my time, and thats too stressful for me, so i'm trying to switch job, i'll be back fully as soon as i do. I think i'll have more time on phone than typing online, so if anyone will like to reach me, feel free, my number is 773 970 7847.
Need your help! I got married after applying for DV2011, gave birth to baby boy a week before interview. I did my interview yesterday and seemed to have gone well. I answerred all the questions properly. My wife was carrying our infant and she wasn't asked any question as the baby was started crying during my wife's oath. I felt like i've answered the questions rightly and the CO was nodding in agreement with me. However, we have not done a naming ceremony and therefore couldn't present the picture myself and my baby when asked. We have not paid for my kid's visa due to cash crunch.
I was given a white paper and was asked to return in two weeks with family pictures of me and my baby. The paper reads something like, "we regret to inform you that you're not eligible for visa under section.... you may return in two weeks with the following documents: Pictures of you and your baby."
Overall experience was great. However, im now having mixed feelings. I don't know what to make of this. Are we good shape or what? Can't wait for answers.

Do not be worried cos the good Lord in on ur side.
Since the CO said u shld return in two weeks with the pictures of u nd ur baby,then ure still on top.
At least before the two weeks the CO gave u guys,u shld have concluded the naming ceremony.By then,go with the naming ceremony pictures and continue to pray fervently for God's favour that never die.
The VISA is urs nd they will definitely give it to you IJN,AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go ahead with the naming ceremony and commit the rest unto God.
You re a success says the Lord of host nd keep praising God cos he will perfect what he started,AMEN.
To all going for interviews,I wish u ALL success nd VISA granted IJN,AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks S_owoh
I am grateful for your contribution and wish you could tell me more abt this land.
Here is the department of moter vechiles for that state http://www.mva.maryland.gov/Driver-Services/Apply/license.htm Every state has their own drivers licience laws. Many palces people that speak with an accent have a hard time with native US peoples but work in fine with other immigrants. Just be nice and friendly and honest and you will soon find friends in those that are good and you can ignore the bads ones that think they are better. When I have travelled that state I have run into Nigerians especially at the airports. I am sure you will quickly find friends and those that will be help to you
I am grateful for your contribution and wish you could tell me more abt this land.
Hello guys... I have an inquiry should i present the original i-134, 1040 and W-2 or the scanned ones and sent thru email can do??? cuz my sponsor sent them to me thru email ...
Somebody answer me plz ...
Most US states and cities have web sites which explain the good points of the place. If you find the link to the police service for the area you can usually look at crime statistics. Try this site http://www.usnpl.com and look for a newpaper for the area you are going to. Depending on the papers site you can read the news ( mostly bad things in the US ) and maybe they will have a classified sections with housing ads.

Hi DVwinner7,
I will implore you to put ur mind at rest, for IT IS WELL.
My family had a similar challenge. I know u must have been given a mail address with which u could schedule another appointment. Just follow that instruction; u will usually be scheduled for 1pm.
However obtain as many pictures as possible; in addition to what was suggested by fellow forumites earlier, go with pictures of u and ur wife when she was pregnant; pictures in d hospital after delivery; as well as congratulatory cards u received from well wishers when the baby came.
U could need them. In my case, we even presented a copy of our wedding invitation; so don't overlook anything.
All the best, AMERICA AWAITS YOU.

Hi Passion009,
Thanks for helping out with the information. Just a quick question, were you interviewed over again, or did they just ask for the pictures? I need to know all there is to know to be on a safe side.
Thanks!
Oh, not at all!
U are going to be followed-up / reviewed by the same CO. U are only going to be asked to present photographs; and may be any other proof of ur relationship with the baby.
The session does not usually last longer than 3 minutes.
Good luck.

My wife interview is scheduled on September 1st. And she is 38 weeks pregnant.
On August 31th at 1.00 PM she started feeling some unusual pain. We started praying, asking God not to allow her giving birth before our interview. We know that if the baby is born after the interview she ll be processed at the port of entry only by showing to the border agent her birth certificate, but if the baby is born after the interview, thing may get worse: we ll have to do the baby`s medicals (215 dollars) + visa fees (819 dollars) + establishing the official birth certificate which takes at least 4 weeks in Montreal (express procedure is not available in Quebec) + applying for her Canadian passport. The 2011 DV program ends up on sept 30 2011. We are running out of time, and then it won’t be possible to fulfill those requirements within 4 weeks. Consequently we ll loose our immigration visa for good (bad luck).
The pain reached its climax at 4 .00 PM and my wife cannot bear it anymore, her water broke and we end-up at the hospital around 5.00 PM where she gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl at 10.00 PM. Can you believe that!
Soon after the birth we inform the doctor that we have a serious issue with our DV interview that will be held in few hours the next day at 8.00 AM, we explain the entire event and how it was important for us to get that visa. The doctor tried to persuade us not to attend the interview because my wife is too tired and her vaginal wounds have to be healed first. Finally after a 20 min meeting the doctors considered the whole situation including its impact in our future so they decide to give to my wife a certificate of temporary absence form the hospital for the next day valid from 6.00 AM to 10 .00 AM but without the baby (has to stay in the hospital). We thanked God!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran home picked-up the documents, my wife clothes and mine, and head back to the hospital around 1.00 AM. The night was really too short, lot of things going inside my head…………………………………..
We arrived at the consulate around 6:40AM. We were the first in line with a few others arriving after 7AM. The doors opened at 7:30AM promptly and we were the first to enter. After going through security, we waited downstairs and sat in the chairs next to the elevator. We were sent up in the elevator to the 19th floor around 8AM. As we were the first off the elevator, received C1 and was told to have a seat. We were called up to the first window within a few minutes of being seated
We were called at the first window 30 min later, the lady proceed and took our fingerprints and medical results (not the x-ray or vaccination documentation) and passport. The agent found that my wife wore the hospital bracelet and then ask:
The Agent: why are you wearing the hospital bracelet?
My wife: I am just coming from the hospital because I gave birth few hours ago. I ask for a temporary absence from hospital but the doctors at first were skeptical but they finally understood my worries and decided to let me attend the interview without the baby
The Agent: are you serious? she called the CO to hear my wife story………………………..the CO was impressed by my wife courage and determination to get the visa. Because my wife was in pain. The agent asked for all our documents and the CO decided to interview my wife immediately after the documents checking.
The interview
CO: I can`t believes you came here few hours after giving birth!
My wife: answer……….
CO: baby gender?
My wife: baby girl and I gave her name
CO:…………….still amazed by my wife courage……………………..
My wife:……………………still in pain…………………………….

It was a fabulous day!
Wish you all a good luck and thank you all(ammeck 09 , kunato,my2011,kennyeast,sista-mai,mamaizo Popescandy1,yaso,and all others,) once again for sharing the information here.

I was on AP, and have been given a date to come with all my documents. Please I want to know if there will be a second interview. Please somebody should give me a hint.
