Hello House,I would be going for my visa interview soon,and I'm clueless on what questions i'll be asked at the interview.
Please I need people that have had any interview experience whether good or bad to please share.

c'mon guys don't just view,without commenting.Pls add your 2 cents.
May i add that I'm making enquiries pertaining to the Legal permanent residency Visa not the Dv lottery visa,I don't know if Us embassy treats them the same or There's a difference.tank u.

go to forums.immigration.com and see the 2011 thread for visa lottery winners from Nigeria.

I hope you referring to me also.

these are the things you needed as per the interview:

1. You have to pay for your Visa processing on the day of ur interview, or if that has change.

2. Make sure all ur information are consistent, i mean ur firstname, middle and last name are in the same order, valid birth certificate.
Be consistent in the information u submitted while filling the visa lottery form online in the first place, any descripancy na wahala o and don't lie, if u must it must be consistent with the document u submitted both online in the application and the one u will submit on ur interview date.

3. Ur medical must be ready, i guess, if not, u may not hear the final judgement on ur case on ur interview date, they may give u a later date for u to submit the medical.

Please, get there on time, 7am is 7am, u must by 7am or the time u were given, no african time.

4. Make sure ur Visa processing money is there with u.


5. Don't go with anything apart from ur money and document needed for ur interview, u can't take anything else inside unless u have someone to keep it for u, ur phone is not allowed either.

6.

6. When u are inside, make sure u behave urself in a good manner, there are cameras everywhere there and i know some one is watching u very close, and please listen to the number given to u, cos that what they will call e.g DV33.

7. Make sure u ask from the official where u will pay for ur visa precessing fee when u get inside the embassy, pay and collect ur receipt, u better go with us dollar currency to ease ur wahala.

8. When u are called, submit ur document, make sure they are in orders, birth cert, waec cert, transcript, whatever document u are taking there, make sure they are in order.

9. Answer the interviewer questions, if u don't understand what he/she said, tell to repeat it. Be calm and comport urself, be friendly and calm the person down, by doing so u will calm urself alos. e.g, you can go by, Hi! how are u doing today? he/she will reply am sure, u can finish by saying its nice to see u.

10. The questions may range from what is ur name, are u the one on this paper, when did u finish high school, when did u graduate from the university or college, if u are in school, what is ur study, questions on ur field etc.

just be urself, i know it will be well, no shaking, u will come and give us the good news.

wish u all the best. and welcome to the U.S

Honestly I Dnt know how the PD thing works,
NVC sent me a mail mid last year asking me to assign a choice of agent then after that they asked for my affidavits of support Docs.
Then last month(Dec)I got a mail frm them informing  me that all my docs have been reviewed and they been forwarded to their consulate in Lagos and that the consulate is trying to fix an Interview Date,i should exercise patience cos Lagos is quite busy.


Tanx daslyest God bless u too.I already payed the Visa fee,i was asked to before sending affidavits of support.
i guess its DV lottery pips that pay at the consulate.

House i want to know how long its take for immigrant visa application to be approved, my friend got married to an American citizen and she is trying to apply for his immigrant visa but ppl are saying that it will take up to two and half years for it to be approved and that she should file for a fiance visa for him instead. Plz how true is this?

He asked me for an advice but i have none for him since i do not know anything about traveling to the us. I know i will get an answer for him here. plz help brothers and sisters.

Well d_junior am no expert at this immigration thing,but i'll add my two cents.An in-law of mine got married to a US citizen,and he his papers came thru 1 and the half years after the wedding.So I did say it should take 2 years or less.

You can check the site Pleasers gave me forums.immigration.com,I think there's a section on that.Takia

@tewizle
Thanks alot for the info. i will go check it out now. God bless you.

Yeah am in the US now,the interview was very short.The CO asked a cpl of qxns about the petitioner,went through some of my pics and asked me to pick up my visa the following week.

I swear it was Gods, on the day of the interview I was so ill i could hardly move,but God saw me through.

I promised http a bottle of beer,and am ready to pay.Hit me up http am in columbus.

@ TEWIZLE and to everyone else.
The iv fee has been paid. and NVC requested civil documents from my friend and we checked they list of civil documents and saw police certificate there, someone said that the police certificate must be among the civil documents sent to NVC but we are confused because i heard that he will come to the interview with it.

Please we want to know the right thing to do. do we send the police certificate to them or exclude it from the list of civil documents we have now. Secondly, is it possible to scan these documents and email them to NVC? do they accept original? if yes how is he going to get them back? plz reply soon.
