Hi,
On october 2014 on the original forms of Dv Lottery i regietered myself, my spouse and my son. Later when the results came there were only three applicants Ds-260 forms available. We filled the Ds-260 forms and on that form my daughter's birthday is May 21,1994 that her actual birthday is May 21 1993. If pher birthday is on 1994 she must have entered to the first original form of Dv Lottery formwith all of us but it was a fault of us that we made a hig mistake on her birthday. Now we are current and we coudln't unlock the forms too, to make a change o her birthday. She is now considered as the beneficery with my spouse and my son even she is aged out of (CSPA). When i called to KCC they said that according to the instructions not adding a child who is u der 21 on the original form buth then on the ds-260 means that the whole case will be disqualified. Is there any solution?
-if you think that we dont know our childs birthday it is not true, the problem was chnaging of the dates from Persian calender to the Gregroian. Because in Afghanistan the dont know much about these, please give me a reply im totally anxious about it.

You need to be very clear about what is really the truth. Your daughters birthday is declared by her birth certificate.

If that certificate shows she was born on May 21 1993, then you were correct to not include her on the eDV. The only mistake in that case is the information that you entered on the DS260. Most embassies would want proof of that mistake (the birth certificate, and proof of education occurring in line with the date of birth.

If on the other hand her birth is actually May 21 1994, then she was under 21 at the time of the eDV entry, and you should have included her on the entry. That is certain disqualification. There is no "solution" to that.

So - can you prove her birthday is 1993 or not?
 
There seem to be a ton of Internet sites to convert Persian dates (as there are for other non-western calendars too). Here's one: http://www.iranchamber.com/calendar/converter/iranian_calendar_converter.php
A Google search brings up many options.

I do admit to being confused as to when her actual birthday is at this stage. In your previous posts you seemed convinced it was 1994. How did you work it out?

If she was under 21 at the time of entry, KCC is correct that the case will be disqualified. So as Simon says - what was it and what can you prove?
 
Her birthday is 1993 but when made a mistake changing the dates. On the forms we filled 1994. Now i found that if change the correct date it will be 1993. In Afghanistan, recently birth certificates are available for people and we can take that. But would it be sufficient enough to show the embassy?

It should be - it's your proof that she should not have been included on the entry.
