DV 2015 Selectees from Ghana
- Thread starter F-Lan
- Start date
@yaa88, as you are a journalist, is there anyway you can get an article published on these dodgy agents we keep reading about in this part of the forum.
i can. i will do dat. maybe people.are not aware they can do it on their own becos my brother wanted to do it for me but i decided to do it on my own and it was very easy.so i dnt know why people rely on others for this simple thing.but it boils down to education.i will take it up but wait until may 5 comes to see whether i was selected and also it will be great to get takeaways or pics of those agents so its always adviceable to wait untill the registration starts.thnks
No please, I havn’t said so. Once you have SHS cert or results with passes in the 5 prerequisite subjects, you are ok. I was explaining to koffis that your HND alone won’t speak volumes. You must meet min educ. qual/ work exp. Once you meet the min education requirements, you are good to go. Visit dvlottery.state.gov for more info. Since you are a potential selectee, I would also refer you to dvselectee.state.gov Good luck
thnks a lot, most grateful

Yaa88 don't bother about his comment you qualify. Some people just seem not to understand exactly what they read themselves. He needs to go back and read all over and if he has got any misleading informations cross check multiple times before posting comments. As he said about the minimum educational qualifications you most definately do qualify so why don't you qualify with your highest level of education too. What if you don't have your senior high school certificate but a first degree, masters degree,doctorate and PhD. So what's he talking about ?? It looks like he seem not to understand the sentence of "minimum educational certificate should be senior high" let me defined this to usa14. It means an applicant should be at least a senior high school graduate with five passes. So please. Stop causing fear and panic if you can't interpret a sentence or two

Ironically, it seems that while pointing out how someone else does not know what they are talking about you have demonstrated your own lack of understanding of the rules. The rules say the requirement is this:
"a high school education or its equivalent, defined as successful completion of a 12-year course of elementary and secondary education".
So - it is possible that someone can have a "a first degree, masters degree,doctorate and PhD" but still not meet the requirement because they did not have the necessary education at elementary and secondary education. It would be a brutal refusal - but it can and has happened. Some COs have accepted higher level degrees - other have insisted on seeing the proof that someone met the elementary and secondary school requirement.
Now - each embassy interprets the rule to their education system, so I am not commenting on whether the case being discussed is qualified or not - just wanted to help you "interpret a sentence or two".

Britsimon, it lovely to read your conclusion. @ koffis USA14, is it possible based on the educational system in Ghana for someone to get to HND, bachelor, master or PHD without passing high school exams or obtaining the minimum pass score? Please consider matured students admission requirements and also reasons for the dismissal of students in some private tertiary (Pentecost and Methodist University)school by National Accreditation Board.

Brother! You are deviating from the whole thing. Even if you hold professorial position and you didn't pass through the high school level you are like dust in the air.

Not necessarily. Read britsimon's post #3491 again. This is one area where COs are not consistent. Some only ask for highest level education certification and if it is higher than high school they are happy with it...

sorry you are wrong too. You only need to qualify either by education or work experience and not both. Having professional position (Chartered Certified Accountant) with two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience to perform will qualify him/her based on work experience.
note: you need to meet a standard which is a job that is classified in job zone 4 or 5 with a SVP (Specific Vocational Preparation) rating of 7.0 or higher.

Hello everyone, My host (affidavit of support provider) recently told me that I will be living but with his friend in another state. Can did pose a problem given that I have just my host information on my submitted ds260 form. Thanks for the usual quick reply.

No. Please forget of that for now, just remember what you have on your ds 260 when going for the interview. (in case the CO ask of host address, just give what you hav on the ds 260). if you get the visa, you can do the change of address at the point of entry.
i hv written all the subjects i failed even before i was given my certificate.my only problem was the d7 i had in maths. that was my question. so its not abt having f in my result now.thnks

Britsimon was just giving the general rule regarding educational qualification in dv lottery.
in ghana the CO normally ask of of proof of wassce / sssce regardless of our degree / hnd. but examination board in ghana (waec) says d7 is pass so as of today you have pass all your papers.
"close your mind and sleep" on this case, you have nothing to worry. but dont forget to carry along ALL your certificates when going for the interview.
