Now the interview details:Got to the embassy before 6am with my family(husband and two kids).we got there in the company of another DV guy from my neighborhood.we were called to form a queue exactly 7am.All protocol observed and we were checked inn.Interestingly,we the migrant people were many but three of us were called at window three for one minutes briefing as to things to do or expected of us.so I got the impression that only three of us among the lots were DV applicants.we sat there about an hour before we were called by the cashier to come and pay our money(ie 3.3 ghana cedis to a dollar). After payment,we were asked to sit again till they called us to submit our documents,which again took us almost an hour before I was being called to window one to submit my documents.
After submission,I was asked to go back and sit.15 minutes later,my family was called at window one and this time for thumb print.All migrant people being called for their turn of interview were being denied and not to talk about non-immigrant.All my prayers by then was to be called at window 5 since our predecessors were saying nice things about the man at window 5 on the forum.
Lo and behold,my name was being mentioned at window three and my husband just inspired me that,God favor is upon us and irrespective of where ever they called us,we are going for it and I felt bold in my spirit that yes,its for us.
we stood at window three before a white consul lady.we were the first DV applicant to be called for the interview,so I realised the other DV colleaque changed their position to know and see how it will go for us.
