DV 2015 Selectees from Ghana

Let me help you on this trillonit, the $330 or its equivalent to your local currency is paid to the cashier at the U.S. embassy just before your interview starts. No one can tell you exactly what the CO will ask you bt you might be asked those informations you gave when signing initial entry and DS260. Best of luck!

Thanks MYGODISABLE2DAY praying that all goes well that day. Will keep you guys posted once I get there.
 
Am now signing out as a happy man. I have gotten the news I want to hear.
Is my prayer that the twins n their father most especially also make it. Once again thank U all. Wish you all good luck. Bye
 
Sorry for the delay.

We were 11 DV Principal Applicants (2 were married and 1 other was a mum with her kid) so in all 14 family members. The normal process followed as narrated in many interview before. out of 11, I was the 9th. out of the first 8 only the second person got it. I was really scared seeing many people refused. one man failed to add his children to the initial edv form even though he had children at the time of applying and that led to his refusal. another lady came to the interview without medicals and police report. she was refused but I dont know if that is what led to the refusal. for the rest i cant tell what led to their refusal.

Here is how things went at the interview.
I was called to window 4
CO: Good afternoon and Sorry for the delay, you know we had to attend to many people today
ME: Good afternoon. No problem mum
CO: Raise your right hand and swear that what you will say will be the truth
ME: I swear
CO: Have you travel outside Ghana before?
ME: Yes madam
CO: which place
ME: Mali and India
CO: what did you go and do there
ME: Went to visit my uncle in Mali and I went for an ICT course in India. I have the certificates here, should I show them to you.
CO: don't worry. How long did you stay in each case
ME: I spent 4 months in Mali and 12 weeks in India.
CO: Are these the only countries you have been to?
ME: No I spent a day in Burkina Faso before going to Mali and did same in Dubai when going to India
CO: I don't mean that transit

CO: I asked of state not city (she said smiling). you are going to my native state (massachusetts) and the place is very cold especially in winter so you have to get good clothings (I was at ease now because i knew there something good was coming)
ME: (was just nodding my head)
CO: I have had a bad day, it hurts me to refuse people visas but you know we work with rules here. congratulations, i have approved you visa application.
ME: i lifted both hands and was shaking them in the air (she looked at me and couldnt help but smile)
CO: It gives me great joy when people are happy after I have approved their visa application. what name do your friends call you with
ME: thowa.
CO: what?
ME:thowa. it my nickname
CO: (she now addressed me as thowa not by my real name) thowa, don't make any travel arragement blablabla blablabla. then she handed over the blue form to me
ME: thank you
