Sad to hear, such a misstep can have such effects. I would say not to give up! it is not a lot of money for lawyer (and that can explain why you had such a bad lawyer), but do spend money on good lawyer, and getting out of the tight spot. I will also tell you something from personal experience...

Lets hope the programmers of the lottery also noticed that distinction :)

Kind of what I meant yes, I thought each country completes only inside itself and not against the applicants in the other countries, but britsimon cleared that up very nicely.

Understood, thank you for clearing that up!!

Well, I do remember reading that there is a different cap for every country, not only a region - is that wrong? Also that the cut-off numbers are different for each of them, affecting the chances to be called in for the interview - is that also wrong? Finally, are you saying that the lottery is...

Hello! I was born in Ukraine, so normally I should fill that in. However, my wife is from Moldova. I saw today this clause in the instructions: So, first of all please correct me if I am wrong, but I assume that means I CAN claim eligibility based on my wife's country, cant I...

Here with go again :)

aha! got the idea, thanks!

The instructions say: Its unclear however, and I was not able to find a list of professions defined as "requiring at least two years of training or experience to perform". Assistance, please?

I've stopped halfway, thanks Hexa - I knew not to speak to the police ever, but I didnt think not speaking at all is best thing :) Amazing.. 10k different laws for which you can be convicted of federal crimes :o With so many incarcerated individuals, how comes this is not a major issue in the...

Well, sounds like his citizenship dream is most likely lost. I wonder whether it is possible to sue the lawyer for making such a mistake that will cost him everything? Anyway we don't know all the facts, he might have admitted before the lawyer could intervene... Bottom line is, everyone...

Very interesting stuff Hexa, but I dont think it should prevent his N-400 application being granted, as long as the officer interviewing gets the feeling he is of a "Good Moral Character", the only problem with his situation is: "Any crime against property or the Government that involves “fraud”...

wow, what would happen after 10 years? they might not renew your GC even, not to mention deny citizenship request? Is that GA specific, or Federal law?

This is an interesting observation... my background: I am working as a Software Developer, former USSR (Ukraine), but currently living in Israel with my wife, and working on finishing a first degree in Information Systems Management - so that I could meet the immigration criterias for Canada and...

You are right.. I dont know how I missed this word, double checked the dictionary meaning - yes so I have to include him in mine.. ah well.. hopefully by next week a picture would be ready. Thank you!! :cool:

Well, officially the instructions say natural child or adopted - but I have not adopted him Legally - so if I were to write him as a child, they could later deny my application saying i have lied about having a son i don't really have officially. Any more thoughts on this matter? Is there...

Hello! I am starting to get organized to submit the application, and this year I have a new problem since I am now married :) My wife has a 5 year old son (I am not his father, nor adopted him), and currently he lives abroad. Am I supposed to mention him in MY application? other than my wife...

Do you mean the submission begins early October? if so I should set the yearly reminder around September 20th or so (to prepare the pictures, etc)?

I've been on 2012, wasnt selected and later was busy with life, assuming I have plenty of time for 2013. Now I've checked, only to find out its all done and dusted for 2013 :( So, my question now is how to get email alert, when they announce the details of DV-2014? so I can mark in calendar and...

No harm in asking and checking how the system works. Be sure I intend to double check it again later, but basically the QR barcode standard is protected against mistakes, it has extra data on it so it wont be mis-read. I'll need to read it again and mail to myself, instead of typing it out...
