Dv2015 high cn report here !

[Britsimon 18]

Hello,

Filling out the DS260 now, and first question already giving me a pickle.

When applying for DV2015, my mum's application had my dad as spouse and two children as derivatives.

She won, and so is the principal applicant.

1) Problem is, my parents do not have a marriage certificate (not legally married) but can register for one now if they want.

Complication: Dad does not want the GC because of double taxation on his business, and we would like to drop him from the application.

What do I put under marriage status? Technically my mum is Single, but I (stupidly) listed dad as a spouse. Can I just not fill out dad's DS260 and

assume her single with two biological children?

2) Or, would it be better for them to fashion the certificate (any gray area here?), then have Dad revoke his own green card if he needs to?

3) For high school certificate, does it need to be 12 years (USA curriculum)? There are some countries who have a 11 year standard education. (6 Elementary school + 5 High school.)

4) Is it true that IF the principle applicant looses her Green Card status AFTER

she and her beneficiaries receive it, it doesn't affect the green card status of her beneficiaries?

Thanks a lot in advance, really appreciate the feedback here.

Since the entry was filled out with a marital status of married, and actually that was not correct, I am sorry to say the visas will all be denied. There is no way to fix that, and it is a certainty to be denied. Sorry.

I am so sorry to tell you this, but your #1 "problem" is way bigger than you seem to realize. If your mom entered as married when she wasn't legally married, her application will be denied. None of the other stuff matters. The consular officials have no discretion over this. Don't spend money on medicals, visa fees etc, it will be wasted.

Edit: I'll answer some of the other questions as they might be of interest to other people but emphasize this is for info only - it does not matter in this case where the application will be denied

- re 11 years of education. That is not sufficient. The notes are clear on this and people have been denied for this in the past. It is unfortunate but some countries' education systems are not seen as equivalent.

- once everyone has successfully entered the US and activated their green cards, yes it then makes no difference if the principal applicant allows his/hers to lapse; the other family members have full unconditional green cards. The only issue is when the immigrant visas get activated initially, that the principal applicant must enter before or with the derivatives.

This case is just one of the best unqualified cases I've ever seen !

Your number is a bit high, but you have a chance for an interview in September 2015 most probably.

No one can exactly tell your chances, but you can get an idea from this year's DV, if your number became current in 2014, then you definitely have a chance.

Keep monitoring the visa bulletin http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html

Wish you the best of luck!
