One big lesson first and foremost is that you can never be too prepared. I would like to thank all VJ members for their encouragement and answers while getting ready for this interview. First off, be ORGANIZED!! Our interview date was scheduled for a date 3 months after our petition got approved. We had enough time to get ready. We printed off all the possible questions we could be asked from VJ and we practiced and rehearsed at EVERY opportunity. Apart from getting the answers right, we all know that because of the difference in culture, Americans and Nigerians see things differently. For example, back in Nigeria, it is rude to establish eye contact (especially with an older or "oga"ish person), but not looking into the eyes of the person talking to you, or the person you're talking to in America, means you are being dishonest. So we practised things like that, making sure we talk about the different ways to compose yourself during the interview. (that matters a lot)
So fast forward to the interview date. Arrived at the embassy about 6AM for the 7AM interview. Thanks to VJ members, we already knew what documents to have ready at the gate, where to make payments, etc.....By the way, we had all the actual documents (DS 156, DS 156K, etc) in an envelop, and other supporting documents in a binder, with labels and partitions.
(I WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE THIS LATER PEEPS!
