Today I tell the world that DREAMS ARE VALID IF YOU BELIEVE
I entered DV2006 got notified messed with dependents ie not including existing dependent went thru medicals attended interview and got denied coz of incomplete application.
Determined me after losing all that cash tried the following year entered and wasn’t selected.
Dv2013 got selected again and sent in my documents to Kentucky and the Black Monday 13th May came in and the selection was cancelled coz it selected only those who applied early, an appeal was done on pro bono basis by a lawyer in US and kept praying that it would help the 22,000 selectees notified continue with the process unlucky me and the rest the judge stuck with DOS.
I gave up and feeling bitter told my wife that I had given up on my dream to relocate to US and she told me GODS TIME IS THE BEST and when u want to give up that’s the time God can do miracles well a re-Run was done for DV2013 and we were unlucky and after the encouragement from wife I took my laptop did another application for DV2014 and prayed to God for his will to be done
Luckily when the results came in was busy with my studies and one lazy Sun remembered had applied n checked the results and dint believe my eyes got selected, I remember sweating at night not believing ma eyes and did a call to my wife who was out of town and words could not come from my mouth…..she asked me severally what was wrong and after a deep breath told her we got selected again.
I am happy to say that the process went on smoothly though expensive but we managed to get the Visas and will be relocating to US this Oct and mine to forum mates is that never give up and God has good plans for everyone and never give up in trying.
Hope to meet some or most DV2014 team green in the US during Xmass holiday and thank you all the Admins and all forum mates. God will never forsake us.
