DV LOTTERY VISA

[afo77 0]

My wife won a DV lottery of last year. The problem is that she sent the required form to KCC with the name of our son that was not previously included in the initial entry. On getting to the US embassy in Nigeria we were advised by the people at the consulate that we should continue with the VISA processing that it will amount to disqualification.

My question now is can we not strike out our son while the two of us (husband and wife) be allowed to continue the process. Please i need your professional advice.My wife won a DV lottery of last year.

How old is your son? Why was his name not included on the original DV lottery application?

Please note that any advice you get on this forum is not "professional" as you request. We are simple other individuals who have gone through the same or similar immigrant visa processes. While many member are informed and educated--none propose to be immigration professionals.

If you failed to include your son at the time of your original entry your entry would automatically be disqualified and they will not be able to issue you the visa. One of the requirements is to list all children irrespective if they are living with you or will be immigrating with you. The only exceptions are if you were married or had a child after the submission of the original entry.

"Failure to list all children who are eligible will result in disqualification of the principal applicant

and refusal of all visas in the case at the time of the visa interview."

Unless the child was born after you filed the application you has disqualified yourself by not following the instructions.

Don't try to cheat the system by lying and saying you don't have a child because a later petition for the child will result in a finding of misrepresentation and a loss of the green cards and deportation for anyone who obtained a visa from the lottery.

Pretty much game over as it says to include kids in the submission form and what happens when that's not done. Sorry.

Game over, man. Game over.
