US Immigration from United Arab Emirates

Hello again, i have some few notice but please correct me if am wrong, because 3 things got crossed

1. My wife (Palestinian) was born in Gaza, so when submitting the DV lottery application last year as mentioned in the instructions , Gaza born will be charged to "Egypt"

2. In the DS 260 form for Spouse , for passport , there is an option in the DS260 of "Palestine" or "Palestinian authority"

3. now in the DS 260, when filling Spouse section, place of birth, there is "Egypt" and also "Gaza strip" - [There is no option to choose Palestine]

since i choose Egypt at the 1st beginning of the DV application last year, shall i choose born in Gaza at this time ? or go for Egypt?

and since the passport issued by Palestinian authority, what about Egypt that i choose when submitting the DV application

i feel that am the only one in the world who has some ... many technical issues appearing and just want to be sure to stay away from any single mistakes that can comprise the interview or the Ds260

Thanks in advance

Do I change/ update my sponsor, if they got laid off due to COVID? or will the old AoS (unsubmitted) work?

Hello everyone, again

it is time to refresh the group, and i will post all my concerns here so also everyone can benefit from the scenarios for this lottery or the future ones

1. Address and phone [present and previous]

now am Jordanian born in UAE, at 18 i went to Jordan for university after graduation back to UAE for work

they request address when i was 16 and older

the answer would be in the existing field"16 to 18" UAE" - then new field "18 to 14 Jordan" - the new field "24 to 37 UAE" ?

2. Children don't have an email or phone number , shall i also use mine ?

3. My wife has Palestinian passport originally, then she gained Jordanian by marriage, she uses the Jordanian not the Palestinian [not expired], in the Nationality shall she specify Palestine as the main then she obtained Jordanian passport ?

4. In the Country/Authority that issued the passport , as a Country is it "Jordan" but since i have done it at the embassy it says in the passport "Abu Dhabi" - now Abu Dhabi is a city not country, shall o choose Jordan or UAE ?

5. in Family "Father for example" he was born in the 40's , at that time passports where missed up, and written Day 1 Month 1, but birth certificate is on full actual date , shall i follow the passport or birth certificate

Sorry for the long paragraph but i couldn't find information online or on YouTube since everyone is just talking about is in general

Hello Every one, i went to start filling my DS 260 today and i have a question regarding the section in personal section "Have you ever used other names (i.e., maiden, religious, professional, alias, etc.)?"

does this section indicates different spelling of the name as well ?

as it says on the website "Other names used includes your maiden name, religious name, professional name, or any other names by which you are known or have been known in the past." so i just wanted to be sure so it wouldn't has an issue in the future

in 1996 i was issued my 1st passport ever, it was hand written passport and as you can guess everyone in the government who is filling the names in English can write it as he thinks or spells it,

for example, the name "Mohammad" written inside all the new passports was written in my first passport "Mohamed" ONLY at my 1st passport and it also applied to my family name [different only at my 1st passport]

so if i have ever used a different name, shall i choose YES or NO ?

P.S : around 2016 i guess i went to our Embassy and they gave me an official statement that that the information such as name of that passport belongs to the same guy on the new passport

shall i obtain a new letter for this purpose just to be sure or not needed as well ?

Hello everyone, check it today and i was selected "YAAAAY"

i had to check it twice to make sure it is true

now question 1 , i remember one time i went to the US embassy in Abu Dhabi website and in there you can go and click to fill the DS260

now the link sends me to another webiste saying error page not found.

So i want to know do i go to "https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx" and insert my case number there and start filling ?

and it is advised to fill it with no delay ? like ASAP ?

Question 2 :

My passport Ends in Sept. 2021, the interview could be held at anytime including for example June 2021 or any other date, now if i have less than 6 months available in the passport would that case an issue ? like renew it then update the DS260 and then submit the passport ?

or as long as there is period the passport would be good ?

Thank you
