Hi again , the thing is she passed only two courses or three :rolleyes: . So It is better for her to use her work experience instead. What do you know about qualifying through work experience. Your comments are much needed . Thanks

@Britsimon's blog explained it well. But, let me remind you one thing I noted there.
It says "...OR.... two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two
years of training or experience to perform..
@Britsimon will correct me if i haven't understand it well; but, as of my understanding, the type of work that your mother has been working needs at least two
years of training or experience to perform. My question is, does your mother has any proof of two years training prior to the work experience? Or can she proof the type of work she is working now needs two years of previous experience?

I think Luck does not play a role for DV interview...luck is for you to be selected. For the interview you need proper documents. May God be with you works well !

Emmmm @GodisGreat. Some COs are strict in everything, but some are not that much. The same mistake made on original eDV application leads some applicants to denial, and it won't be an issue for others.
I'm not saying documents preparation is not critical. I believe every applicant should be prepared as per the requirement. But luck has its own role.
I think the CO didn't ask affidavit of support for your family. But he/she may ask somebody else who is prepared as you did.

No that is not necessary to prove that training took place. The rules are a bit flaky on this (meaning some COs will misinterpret them just as you did) but the standard is 2 years in a job at the required level. That level is a job that generally requires the training or experience - BUT the training or experience is not part of the requirement (technically). Anyone with more experience (such as the mother of the OP) doesn't need to worry much about the technicality. However, there was a young couple from OC region last year that were able to successfully argue their case for a young selectee with ONLY two years of experience - ALL of that in a job at the required level (she was obviously smart and had had some vocational training but not the two years).

I think yes. I heard about that lady. Many applicants do not want to be interviewed at her window.
There might be an issue in your case that need personal/subjective judgement of the CO. That's why we say GOOD LUCK

dear @Britsimon, I need additional explanation on this.
"...two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience to perform.
