The United States Consulate General in Lagos said only
selectees of Diversity Immigrant Visa, who present genuine information and
documents, are assured of getting entry visas to the country.
The Consulate Vice- Consul, Rachel Okunubi, said most winners, especially in Nigeria are disqualified because they presented fake documents and inaccurate information.
According to her, many selectees have lost the opportunity to get legal permit to live and work in
the U.S because they presented fake spouse or documents.
This, she said, may actually prevent the selectees from gaining entrance visa through the DV lottery or tourists’ visa to America again in future. “Being selected does not guarantee automatic visas
but only affords the selectees the right to have an interview to determine if they meet the minimum
qualifications,” she added.
Okunubi, who briefed journalists in Lagos, warned that the U.S government does not have any accredited agents or organisations to carry out visa applications procedures, saying that people should desist from patronizing touts, who would take their money and scuttle their chances.
