Don’t Ask for an Affidavit of Support from the Wrong Person
During your interview, you will need to provide proof that you can support yourself and your family in the United States. Asking a green card holder or someone who doesn’t have a good status to provide an Affidavit of Support can negatively impact your application.
Be Generous Throughout the Process
The DV process can be expensive, and you may be required to pay more than the actual cost of some documents. However, it’s important to remain calm and pay the required fees because nothing good comes easy.
Be Careful at the Medical Examination
The first place where your DV interview is conducted is usually at the clinic/hospital where you undergo a medical examination. Be careful with any questions that the examiner asks because they may be working with the Embassy. Some failures during the interview result from sharing too much information during the medical examination.
Dress Appropriately and Arrive Early
Dress appropriately and arrive at the Embassy one or two hours before your interview. The attitude you display can also impact the outcome of your interview, so be careful.
Be Confident and Engage in Eye Contact
When you are called for your interview, greet the Counselor with a smile and maintain eye contact throughout the interview. Confidence and good communication skills can help you make a positive impression.
Don’t Forget Your Documents
Make sure to carry all the necessary documents in a brown folder, and do not forget any of them at home. Forgetting any document can lead to disqualification or administrative processing.
Carry a New WAEC/WASSCE Chip
Lastly, don’t forget to carry a new WAEC/WASSCE chip, which is a requirement for the DV interview.
In conclusion, the DV lottery is a life-changing opportunity, and with adequate preparation and these tips, you can increase your chances of success. Remember to be careful with what you share during the medical examination and throughout the interview process. Good luck!
