Hi!
So, after filling the DS 260 out and sending it I started to visit different forums and found out that I made a mistake when selecting the country of eligibility. I was born in Russia, but at age of 14 I moved to Sweden. I have Swedish citizenship and have not been visiting Russia since I left. I also hold the Russian citizenship but my passport has expired many years ago. I do not plan to go back to Russia and I do not relate to Russia.
So when I entered the DV I put Sweden as I though it was right. I did not know that I should go after place of birth, not citizenship. I should have read the instructions better, I know...
Now I have read that Sweden and Russia are within the same region Europe. And it says:
If the entrant chooses the wrong country of chargeability at the time of the initial entry, the error will generally be disqualifying. However, if a DV applicant chooses a country of chargeability during DV registration that is within the same geographic region (one of the six) as the correct country of chargeability, and you determine that the applicant gained no benefit from his or her error, you may continue processing the application.
Have I chance to not be disqualified?
What should I do to avoid being disqualified? Should I call KCC?
Is it KCC who will decide whether I will be disqualified or is it the embassy?
What else should I do?
Thank you.
