Please help,

My sister was filling out the application and she accidentally put her husband's DOB with a wrong day, it should have been 21 not 29 of January. Does that mean her family won't go through?

My wife (then Fiancee) did this on a different form. It was simply a typo, did not materially change her application and caused no problem. We now celebrate two birthdays for her: the first to celebrate the typo and the second to celebrate her. :)

You could certainly call the service center and inquire about this.

Really? I thought only one family member applies and includes his/her family, and if that person gets selected then the whole family is a selectee as well. Please correct if I'm wrong so I'll let them know he has to do the same.

Anyone who is eligible can enter, so a husband and wife can each enter assuming they are each eligible to do so, with their family as derivatives in each instance. If I recall correctly this is explained in the rules, which should always be read thoroughly before submission.

Yep, clearly specified p10, FAQ number 12.

He doesn't have to enter of course but silly not to increase the family's chances if possible.
