DS-230 questions for DV visa

[Haisook 0]

Hello all!

Both my father and mother were selected for further processing in the diversity visa program. I have some questions about parts I find confusing in the DS-0230 form. I'd appreciate it if you helped me.

The form mentions "Complete one copy of this form for yourself and each member of your family, regardless of age, who will immigrate with you.".

1) Here, does my father's application need to include a copy for my mother's and vice versa (note both were selected for further processing in this DV lottery) ?

2) They have 2 children, one is 20, and one is 24. Does each of my parents' application need to include copies for both of their children or only for the one who's under 21? Note that the form says "regardless of age", while there's a note in the instructions website that says such eligible child is a one who's under 21.

3) Are the birth dates of the father and mother of the applicant necessary? Because we're having trouble finding those out. It was a long time ago!

4) "Person(s) named in 14 and 29 who will accompany you to the United States now." - again, can this include a child who's over 21?

5) "Person(s) named in 14 and 29 who will follow you to the United States at a later date." - what's the difference between this statement from the above mentioned one? And can this include a child who's over 21?

6) I've heard it's possible to send this form and form DSP-122 by email rather than mail. Is that really possible? and how?

7) Also, is it OK if I send all forms for both applications of my father and mother in one envelope? Since the addresses are the same (the one I'm sending to, and ours).

Please... I need your urgent help!!

Need to send in the forms tomorrow in the morning!

Thank you very much in advance!

Thanks hananmcclarty for your reply,

Both my mother and father were selected for further processing.

The point I'm dying to know is that I'm over 21 and unmarried. Do I need to fill the form? and will I be granted a green card?

No, over 21 child does not qualify. Parents can petition for you once they get a green card - be prepared for several years of wait time. In the meantime, play DV.

Just to clarify - Your mom and dad dont have to complete their own applications. What i mean is that they should choose one winning number (assume your dad's) and then complete it with him as the main applicant and your mom as his spouse, and just simply ignore the fact that your mom was also selected. I suggest using the one with the lowest case number. That way they will have one application and will attend the interview together. Also, only your dad will have to comply with the education requirement, which makes it one less document that your mom will have to get.
