Problem is, can your country issue you a new passport before the one you are currently holding expires?

The rule of thumb is one can apply for a passport renewal with 6 months to expiration on the old .

So Frank80, it would be wise for you to apply for a new passport before your interview, just like Ash2013 suggested

Yeah, what you are saying is true. In replying to the earlier post my attention was drawn on the expiration of the visa instead of the passport. Thanks for the correction.

Hi Folks,

My wife and I need your help!

My Fiance won the lottery her case number is AF00026*** was received in May 7 2012
We had done our traditional engagement in April 2012
She did not add me during her entry into the draw last year.
We have filled up the forms together with me as the husband and have added my two (2) children from previous marriage to follow.

My wife is currently in the University and I am a businessman with an MBA and a degree. What are our chances?

God bless you all

The addition is not a problem since the marriage was after the initial online application. However, you need lots of proof to show it is not a fake marriage. You need pictures from the traditional wedding, if you have a joint account, carry the statement, joint bills etc. Carry court documents confirming custody of the children, seperation documents from your previous marriage as well etc. Good luck.

Hey, for the fact you married her (April) before knowing the lottery outcome (May 7) is a big bonus. However the addition of two children is a thing to be worked on by showing evidence, affection from the woman and acceptance from the children. You know the children need to feel at ease with the woman as their mum most especially at the Embassy hall.

I believe including you in the online application last year with those children would have been the best scenario. Now do not act as if you are the boss with the money to assist a poor university student with only the lucky number. Try be the best husband on earth in your speeches, actions and reactions.

Are you from Nigeria?

since the new birth cert would a document you are obtaining after your marriage it has to be in your new name.you can just put your new name in bracket besides your name.if you are a Nigerian you would be asked how you want your name to be written.
Hope this helps

The names you were given before you married or did you marry him from birth?
 
This advice will get you in serious trouble at the time of your interview if you choose to follow it. A birth certificate, regardless of when it is issued should always have the names given at birth - in this case your father's last name is the name that should be reflected on it as your surname, not your new
husband's

name!

Hi ebony,
It makes more sense when you look at people's signature when seeking opinion.I told you that's what I did for my wife.let no ne scare you with any trouble at the embassy.meanwhile,depending on your age ,lf you are a Nigerian you won't be given a birth cert but attestation of birth.I can even scan my wifes own to you if chance permits.people should say what they sure about please.
Try read the 2011 thread cos I can remember we discused alot about this during our time .I will also call some of old members here to try and take time to visit the forum to help new members so that you guys won't be misinformed.I will send my fone number and emaip address to those that might to ask questions .
Ebony ,please listen to people that have done before.go 2011 thread opened by Kenny for more experience.it unfortunate we lost our first thread before opening that one cos that is even more detailed

Cheers
