As the curtain comes down for this year's interviews, surely the glory belongs to Him for all the success stories and testimonies shared here. We thank Him that we never saw any DV 2014 casualty among us(forum family). Those on AP (Family2133 & Danny den) the Lord has not forgotten you guys, we are strong with you in prayer. I prayer you get your visas before christmas and begin the new year with a smile.

Lord let there be NO MORE AP's or casualty among The forumites as the fiscal year concludes in Sep 2014, we shall all overcome the CO with prayers at the center of everything we do. We have so many testimonies among us to prove that prayer works. All the best to Godia,4Turya,Feyisayo,Guy Ray,Nairoba,Ghanaman,Olelenku as you shop around for flights and as you close up shop in Africa. We look forward to hear your testimonies next year as you settle in. Those facing the CO in Jan Azmera,Beth02,Partitas,Jimko all the best in your preparations.

God bless us All

My Interview Experience
Dear members forgive me for late report of the real interview experience. I broke the news to you as soon as I came out from the embassy. I was typing the interview experience when my IPad's battery ran down, so there was nothing I could do again. We are now in Kumasi.
Today was the day that I and my family went for our interview. For us the journey started yesterday when we left Kumasi exactly 12: 25 pm with the VIP bus. We got to Accra exactly 6 pm and we lodged at an affordable Guest House near Osu, about 10 minutes drive to the Embassy.
What some of our forum members do not know is that, my wife is the principal applicant. I entered the lottery one for her and one for myself and she won. We are family of 6 (my wife, myself, our 2 daughters and 2 sons), it is very large family as you can see. Running from Kumasi to Accra for medicals has been very hectic.
This morning we woke up at 4 am, but we wanted the children to sleep well so we woke them up after 5 am. We had our morning devotion by singing this hymnal "Take the Name of Jesus With You" at 6:25 am. We got to the embassy by 7:00am. And 3 minutes later we were called to form a queue. We were number 2 on the Immigrant queue. All security protocols observed. It is the same as been told by the other forum members.
When we were called to submit all our original photocopies we got to know for the marriage certificates the photocopies should be two, one for the husband and one for the wife. It was new to me, so I had to run to do extra photocopy. Those of you who are married should make sure that for the marriage certificate you make two photocopies instead of one. After I came into the embassy again I saw I left the original copy at the place I made the copies. I ran again to the place to pick it. We were asked to add our family pictures to our documents.
I gave the money to my wife to pay. For the 6 of us we paid $1,980. I changed our Cedis into dollars last Thursday in Forex Bureau in Kumasi. I wanted to make sure it was fake-free dollars so I took it to Ecobank for authentication. They were all fine. Today when we paid , the cashier wanted to know it was exact amount. He lifted each bill up and checked. Thank God it was ok.
Later my wife's name was mentioned at window 6. The entire family walked to that window. We were the largest family. We met a nice white gentleman.
This is how it went:
Me & Wife: Good morning
CO: Good morning
CO: You (Wife's name withheld) are the principal applicant?
Wife: Yes
CO: sign here and sign these for the children (the forms we sent to KCC)
CO: Who is child A?
Child A: Me
CO: Child K?
Child K: Me
CO: Child L?
Child L: Me
CO: Child Y?
Our last child is too young so we responded by showing him to the CO
CO: You have to raise your right hand swear that you would tell the truth
Me & Wife: We do
CO: Put your left index finger on this machine
My wife did and he asked me do the same. I did and I knew it would show on his system.
CO: You have been here before? ( referring to me)
Me: Yes
CO: You have been to the US several times?
Me: Yes
CO: What is your profession?
Wife: Teaching
CO: What Subject do you teach?
Wife: Currently I am headmistress and I also teach Religious and Moral Education
CO: Where do you teach?
Wife: bla bla in the Ashanti Region
CO: Are you married?
Wife: Yes
CO: When did you marry?
Wife: Bla bla
CO: How many children do you have?
Wife: 4
CO: Just 4?
We started laughing when he said "just 4?" and he too was smiling.
Wife: Yes
CO: You have a lot of pictures.
We smiled and he returned all our pictures to us.
CO: I have looked through all of your documents and everything is correct.
CO: Your visas have been approved, come on Friday to pick.
Me & Wife: Thank you.
One of my children lifted his hand up out of excitement when the visas were approved.
CO: Any of you can come and pick your passport with visas on Friday
Me: I will come
CO: Do not make any travel plans, do not quit your job, do not let the children stop their schooling before you have your visas.
Wife: Nodded
He gave us the collection slip

We thank God for this successful interview and the approval of the visas. God's factor in this success is 100%. It was not our effort or who we are or where we have been. God has been so gracious to my family, and my forum family. I thank you dear forum members for your prayers, support, and encouragement. For our pace-setters who got their visas before us, you have been good to us, God bless you all.
To those who are about to go for your interviews, the God who helped us will stand for you. He cares. He will provide for you too. This approval of the visas is not my graduation from this forum, I will keep coming to take part on discussions, prayers and inspirations. God cares and knows all of us.

The greatest lesson: The questions we think we will be asked won't be asked. The slight errors we made on the E-DV forms or the one we sent to KCC won't be an issue.
My advice is "Do not worry". Do not let errors spoil your day.

0600hrs:The security guard told me to us to line up according to gender...was No.2 on line and no.5 to arrive at the parking bay.He then confirmed our appointments i.e 2NL and passport..

0609hrs:The guard told me to drop my bag,keys,phone on a basket and to spread my legs as he checked for anything that may explode...I don't know how he missed my HEART!!!

0613hrs:After a further walk to security check No.2,a lady asked for my passport and 2NL and directed to sit.They allowed further screening in groups of fours and its here that you are checked again for dangerous goods...( I dont know how u could come up with one after the 1st check)..nway,I left my phone and proceeded now to the main building...the crowd had gathered and we were ushered in to pick our call numbers..

06??hrs(losing track of time here):picked a sheet(explains eligibility criteria..high school..etc for different countries) and a small paper that indicates the queue number..apparently,non-immigrants are being served first.I surveyed around and have noticed a family of four,a lady and me as DV people at that point...

07??hrs:Am called after the lady and am asked for some docs..(Birth cert,High Cert,PP) and given invoice to pay..$330 or KSH 29700..one of the 1K was trying to behave funny with machine..anxious moment here..but it sailed through eventually..

073?hrs:Back to bench and now have to break ice with the lady in small time conversation...realize its a small world..she know people that I know...

0849hrs(I guess)..checked after getting impatient...conversation going on very well...at some point asked which state she going to..but found out that she headed east coast and me mid -west...very nice lady...decent and healthy conversation..(apparently,she didn't go to KNEC to have confidential results sent..calmed her down,told her nothing to panic about since she has original cert)

09??hrs:Lady called in and the moment has arrived..wished her luck and God be with her...

09??hrs:As if she had forgotten something,the Lady comes back smiling with a Green sheet..VISA APPROVED(Hey,that was fast-I said to myself)

Administrative Processing update, [Family2133]

At exactly 29 days into this A.P guy, I have received an update that my case is still undergoing admnistrative processing which is anticipated to last for 90 days or more. I have been assured that they are working on my case and once the qualifications are verified the visa wil be adjudicated right away.
Oh Lord God hear my cry, I know that with your Titanic/Astronomical/gigantic/stupendous/prodigious strength no obstacle can stand in your way to approve this visa, let your immense mercy prevail on my family and I . in Jesus' name I have prayed.

My brother, the update is a good signal that things will go well for you. We thank God. We thank God it was not a bad news. This is a good one. God is bigger than our problems. He has the whole world in His hands including those doing the verification. We will keep praying for you brother. At the end of this exercise you will smile and enjoy with your family. God cares. Waiting and uncertainty is hard, don't focus on the storm, just focus on God and His powers. We are behind you with prayers. God cares and loves you more.
God be with you and your family.
