DV winner error country of eligibility and chargeability

[Aliyahkz 0]

I have a question? I just realized one mistake I made in Dv lottery application. I am a selectee from EU , I did put my country of birth Uzbekistan, and I am a citizen of Azerbaijan so I put country of chargeabiliry Azerbaijan based on where I lived . So yesterday one of family member told me it should have been Uzbekistan. I am currently in USA and I filed  AOS 10 days ago since my number became current  in EU region . Will I have issues due to that mistake I made. I am so worried because I am EU 23xxx but has exception for Uzbekistan .

Doesn't look too promising, in my opinion. 

Are you married to somebody who was born in Azerbaijan? If not, the country of chargeability should have been Uzbekistan.

 

What status are you currently on?

Make sure you can maintain it throughout the process, otherwise if AOS is denied...

 

 

 

Good luck!

I also found this thread, looks like it had a happy end:

 

 

So maybe it's not that bad.

I hope so because that was not done intentionally, I use translator to communicate 😞not knowing English it’s leading to mistakes like this . But I hope hopping for the best

This is pretty bad actually. You are chargeable to Uzbekistan, and claiming a different country (even within the same region) makes it appear as if you are trying to cheat the Uzbekistan limitation.

I take from both sides logically I didn’t know it will have limitations at time of filling. Other side I am sure they don’t care a lot of them so pick and will deny .
