Hello everyone,
I'm currently in the process of applying for the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery and have encountered a concern that I'm hoping some of you might be able to help with.
I was born in Saudi Arabia but have lived my whole life in Sudan. When I applied for the DV lottery, I chose Saudi Arabia as my country of birth. However, upon being selected, I noticed that my foreign state chargeability in results and in is listed as Sudan.
I've done some research and found that an applicant is entitled to be “charged” to a country other than the country in which they were born, for immigration purposes. But I'm still unsure about how this applies to my situation.
Could this be a mistake, or does this mean I could be disqualified? If anyone has had a similar experience or has knowledge about this, your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
