Congratulations on your DV lottery success! It's amazing how this program changes lives. Your timeline is very helpful for future winners.

Quick question - how competitive was it at Lagos embassy? I have friends considering applying.

@fatima_asylum_approved Lagos is one of the busiest embassies for DV lottery because Nigeria has many winners. But if your documents are in order and you're genuine, approval rates are good.

The key is preparing everything properly:

  • Authentic documents
  • Clear purpose
  • All requirements met

Tell your friends to apply - you can't win if you don't try! The lottery is free to enter through the official dvprogram.state.gov website.
