What if you intend traveling to another country now, but haven't moved there yet, and want to enter the lottery....and you're very sure during engrant status check, you may be out of your country . Which mailing address will you use?
Thank you for the good information you gave us I have some important questions: 1) Should we enter the current address of our school and university in the DS_260 form or the old address where we studied there 17-20 years ago? Because many of these addresses have changed over the years and, for example, the school has become a driving school. 2) If many of our documents were translated about 20 years ago (such as health documents and high school diplomas), do they still need to be translated again to win the lottery? 3) Which American-approved center should Iranians go to for medical tests? 4) Which embassy is more affordable for Iranians and does not require financial support from Iranians? Thanks a lot🙏🌸
Thank you Brit. Question: For an international student with two first names and one last name, say Katherine Jean Smith, who has inputted both Katherine and Jean under First Name in all their documentation (I-20, I-9 etc), because in their culture both their names are considered firsts and not one middle, should they input Katherine or Jane in the middle name box, or both in the first name box? Thanks.
Hi Simon, I was one of 2023 dv lottery winners, did my interview but unfortunately for me they said there were no visa. I'm playing again, is it compulsory that I play with all my children as I did before including my adopted child ? Please answer my question sir I really don't want to lost this chance.
Dear Simon. In case I do not have any children, for question 15 (Number of Children), should I: a) Put zero "0" as number (since the question is not optional); or b) Leave the field blank Does it matter? Thank you.
Hi Simon, this is very helpful. Perhaps you could point out if the photo for the spouse can be the same as the one the spose may have as own photo on their own entry?
Thanks so much! I was wondering what I should put as a country where I live now? Because technically I live in the USA, because I work here but not sure if I should put my home country instead?
Hi Brits thanks for the video, I am from Ghana, my question is if you had a traditional marriage without going to the authorities/courts to register, do you choose that you are married or unmarried?

Hello Mr Simon, thanks a lot for the informative and helpful video, though I have a question, in syria we take father's name as a middle name, but in the passport or ID we don't have a middle name, we only have: first name/last name/father's name /mother's name, so should I write my father's name as a middle name in the application?
Excellent, Brit! My title is not listed on the form. I am a teacher received from an official teacher training institute but not a university. I don't know what I should mark in this case. What do you suggest? Thank you very much

Hi Simon, thank you for such a wonderful video. I have a very important question. I am from Africa (Ghana) and in Africa, most of our spouses do not adopt their husband's family names as theirs. For instance, my wife still uses her father's name on all her official documents, including our marriage certificate and her passport. Would this have any impact on the selection process? Because we do have the same family name? Please give me feedback on this. Thank you
Hello Mr Brit Simon My daughters name in the passport has a name in the "family name" which is actually not a family name.....what to do in this scenario...kindly reply on this
Thank you so much for this. I am in the process of adopting a child, but it is not yet finalised. We expect that the adoption will be finalised by the time the green card results are released. Should I be adding him as a child in the DV application? Or leave him off? I cannot seem to find any information about this situation Thank you
You can't add the child at this time and you would not be able to meet the requirement that the adoption had happened 2 years before the interview. I suggest not entering the dv2025 lottery as you could not achieve a sensible outcome.
Greetings Mr. Brit, hope you're doing well, I have one question, i have one child, but am not married to mother of my child, she gave birth , after she left for another man. can i mention unmarried and on number of children i include my child.. thank you.
Hi Simon. My question is about the passport photo used in the dv lottery entry. I definitely use a new photo each entry but when it comes to the spouse part for 4 years now not in contact with my spouse and definitely i don't have his passport photo and haven't legally separated or divorced how do you go about.
My husband was born in the UK, so in past years we have used my country of birth Australia. Would doing so in 2025, be against the rules now that UK is accepted or can you still do that?
Hello, 1 important question you are saying it doesn’t matter on the thing from your highest level of education and under I read you need a minimum of a high school diploma ( in my case I don’t have a high school diploma) so I can’t take a change to enter the lottery?

Is that how I should proceed with the dv form as well? Any help will be highly appreciated Sir.
