Country
United States
  1. On sep 5th, I arrived at the embassy 06.30am for my interview, but waited till 11am before being interviewed as the cashier was not at her desk for me to make my visa payment.

    Good morning
    good morning sir I replied
    do you swear that everything you have written in the forms and you will say this morning is true? I answered yes
    what is your name? I answered
    you are .... Years old right? ..... Yes
    why did you apply for dv lottery in the first place.......... I answered
    where were you when you applied.... I answered
    where do you study... I answered him
    what is your major...... I answered him
    how long have you been living here... I answered
    and you're in your fourth year right.... Yes sir
    how did you come across the school and why the city......i answered
    are there other nigerians studying in your school... I said yes
    any other african ? I said yes but he graduated and now works...... He asked how the guy came about the school then i explained to me..
    What is your date of birth,... I told him.. And he showed me the form where an error occured which I explained to him
    he asked when i am graduating from university and i told him and he said now that you are in your final year, how would you go about this because you if you are issued a visa you must travel within 6months. I told him i really look forward to finishing with school and then moving to the USA to further my education, live and work there
    he later asked if I had made any errors ever via my date of birth while filing an official form and I told him about the error i discovered after filing the ds forms to kcc, the computer where I went for printing changed all years, such as my date of birth was changed to 1466......
    He started typing on his computer and said he will give me a letter which shows that my case has been put under processing and he went inside and came out with a white paper 221(g) paper but no other documents required, the "other" box was ticked on the form and below it says case under processing and to wait for them to contact me.
    I asked him how long this would take, he told me he can't say due to the fact that it is a bit difficult to verify documents from some countries and meanwhile I am applying from a foreign country that they need some time, he wanted to return my original copies and my passport but i told him to holds on to it as he told me having the originals with them will facilitate quicker processing and verification and also they have to check if visas aren't used up yet cos at times they are being used up before the end of fiscal year and vice versa..... He then asked if i am okay leaving my passport with them, i said i have a copy of it and I have my school id cards so I will be fine. He confirmed my phone number and email and asked if calling was the best way to reach me and i said yes.......
    He told me they will do their best to make sure verification process is done asap and they will get back to me.

    Fingers crossed now and am hoping they contact me soon with a good news......... I can't wait........
