hi everyone, i have a doubt please.Is an affidavit of support compulsory for all dv winners?and who issues it?

All selectees have to show in some way that they will not become a public charge. An affidavit is one of several ways a selectee can meet that concern. At Accra embassy they also take into account whether a selectee has a host. With a host, particularly one close to the selectee, the Accra embassy would not typically ask for an aos. However that might not be the case with the same selectee at a different embassy. It is case specific...

Similar to Ghana. When I say each case is different, these are the sort of factors that a CO could consider...

Will you be staying with a host? (Some embassies consider a host as a type of support)
Is the host related to you or a close friend? (A host that is related to you or a close friend is more likely to help you)
Do you have any savings of your own? (Having your own savings can answer the public charge issue)
What sort of work do you do? (Some jobs are well paid and in demand which would lessen the public charge concerns)

There's one part in the interviewing process that keeps recurring. The continuous asking of how many times you've sat for WASCE or SSCE. Suppose I have sat for both SSCE and WASCE but the latter has never been used in any documentation, what should be my answer if asked?

There is only ever one answer: the truth.

I also did mine at Akai clinic on the 5th of jan and the cost is 811gh but you would need to pay another 46gh for the last shot(vaccination )
 
I thought the cost of medical was a uniform prize set by the us Gov. in Liberia all the prize if fixed all hospitals offering medical for the us embassy for DV process go in line with the stipulated prize. during the medical, if it is deter main that you have a sickness that need special attention, you will have to paid for that treatment separately.

The US government can not and does not set medical prices anywhere (even the US). They appoint panel doctors but the doctors can charge what they want.

Within just a month the cost of the medical has increased significantly. Ghana!

You seemed to be so concerned about the prices involved in the whole DV process. You have a right though, but please relax my brother. God always meets us at the point of our need.
