Oh boy, the first sentence is bad advice, and in the second you are encouraging people to commit immigration fraud. Way to go, dude.

Yes you can, you can use a tool to hide the name. Please post the letters about different city.
Oh wait.... Oh wait. Refusal letters do not have the name of the applicant. They just say, "dear applicant". So your story falls apart.

I believe them all. This is Ghana - a place where they seem to have a tough time with accurate entries and truthful answers. Most entries are probably done by the agents who could easily choose a wildly different city, perhaps different country and once the cracks start appearing the whole case becomes suspicious.

It is possible they are doing this as a way to try crack down on agents. But it seems from reading the forums things like errors on names on high school certificates are not that uncommon in west Africa so that does surprise me for example. And we have seen cases in africa and elsewhere of people getting exact places of birth wrong and bring approved - heck, even my husband only realised where his actual town of birth was (it was not the town they were living in at the time, as he had assumed) at our first DV entry when he thought to check with his mom...!
But I am sceptical because of the claim the refusal letter has the name. As we are know these are standard forms they keep at the embassy and they all start "dear applicant" - it is only 'mailed' letters that bear the name.
Very true susqqq. I remember i was refused a non-immigrant visa back in 2008 n the salutation of the letter given to me was 'Dear Applicant'. It never bore my name. I guess same for immigrant visa refusals-DV or otherwise. I wish those refused could sign up and tell their own stories..

Private investigation is on going . Sometimes as much as we hear and read issues here we must also take sometime or a minute to rethink the whole issue. This is scary and as such very discouraging .

Don't get me wrong - I absolutely think errors are a concern and I particularly think name and date of birth errors are likely to lead to disqualification. I just don't like scare mongering.
Incidentally can anyone who has had their interview at Accra inform us as to whether 7 DV cases in a day sounds about right?

Out of interest, why were you at the embassy yesterday with all this information? Are you an agent?

What ever the scenario at hand please don't be discouraged but carry along any document and present your case and state your defense. Just make sure you have genuine documentation and present yourself with self confidence. Every situation is different and so is yours too. Be focused because you have come a long way to this point . If people have made it to this far then you can also make your story with success. Go grab your Visa . Good Luck
Pls Britsimon, since you work with facts and not hear say, I thought you would have requested for evidence, do u have any evidence about 'city of birth' for example? Pls let's see it if u do.

Well, I would not challenge or disagree with that info but during my interview on the 28th of jan 2015, we were three and a friend who had his before me said it here on this forum they were also 4 so it's a bit confusing tho
Pls just censor the names and post the letters. By the way, what were u doing at the embassy? Are u an interviewee or an agent? Thanks

Ok so, as I said before, you can hide the name. Post the letter with reason for refusal please.
Are you an agent? Why do you have someone else's refusal letter?

And you were fine, correct? But according to de don someone else got refused for the same type of error.

so you mean the security men allowed you to enter the embassy then to the consulate section without asking to see your appointment letter? i thought the first thing that is done at the gate is to check appointment letters. Please those who have been to the interview should educate me.
