If you don't have a credit card of your own and you don't know anyone with a credit card/checking account that can make the payment on your behalf, you can make the payment after you get to the US. It's not like the payment must be made before departing for the US.

Interesting that the CO asked the questions about hepatitis. That is the first time I read that and administering an exam is NOT supposed to be done (it is specifically excluded for testing education qualifications). So if you had met the education qualification, these questions should not have been asked. After all. What would she have done if you had answered the questions completely wrong? I get the intent, but not sure it should have been done....

That's nice explanation. But I wonder why the CO asked such detailed technical questions. It looks employment interview than visa interview.

this is an interview the embassy had with the Chronicle newspaper which i think might answer your question. http://www.modernghana.com/

"In an interview Susan Parker-Burns, the information officer, explained that the embassy considers high education and specialized occupations as well as experience as the two determinant factors for the issuance of entry visas to a DV lottery winner. On specialized occupations, she said, such applicants are trained in America, in order to meet the American labour standard requirements".
 
I don't really know why they did that,i completed SHS in 2005 and sat for for private exams and had admission

my education certificate was genuine which I have used to school @ nursing school and I collected the original certificate from west Africa examination council when I was preparing for the interview and checked on their website to match with my grades..I added my nursing documents to the form and my work place,which is one of the teaching hospitals in Ghana and looking @ my face,she thought I was using somebody's document(my thinking),the security @ the embassy gate asked me same question when I was entering and I gave CO the corrects answer on hep B to tell them I didn't sleep ap school and that was my first ever visa application...even @ work place some people don't believe my age but they always says my thinking tells them am old haha and I enjoy that
 
My idea for the interview was a make or break affair and I was so determined to pass "journey of no return"i did my medicals in the middle part of October knowing very well that my interview will be in the middle part of November haha

Da_nn did you have sponsor or AOS? Maybe it was just to ensure that you can find a job easily. So not about meeting education (ref britsimon's statement) but ref public charge requirement. Anyway all good & congratulations!
 
Guys prepare very well before going for the interview,i had names of my patients in head

Hmmm - that would also be excluded under the "what if" rules (strictly speaking) regarding public charge. I think the only justification can be the concern of false documents.

Why? I thought the public charge determination had a large amount of discretion built into how a CO approaches it? Many people are asked what they plan to do in the US, it seems to me quite a logical extension of that question?

(The possible concern about false documents had occurred to me btw.)
