If you're the winner, so (h) is correct for you. But I assume that even both of you have applied...only you won right?
So, your wife can't be(h). she can only be (b).
Since your wife's case is a derivative for you, they might have rejected the whole thing even though they could have accepted yours and reject hers...They did you a favor, maybe if they had accepted yours and rejected the wife's then you might have not been able to accept the corrected app for your wife. Maybe the derivative case should be filed at the same time to be valid....
In any case, maybe you can scan the rejection form completely and publish here. (of course delete any specific names and numbers)
Maybe we can find out more.
But looks like you can resubmit with the correct selections.

I have selected (h) for both of us. And I wrote "DV 2011 selectee" for myself and "spouse DV 2011 selectee" for my wife. I doubted between (b) and (h) for my wife, but then I found example on this forum who did (h) for both applicants, so I went with (h). You still might be right but I suspect they would reject only one of the applications in this case. Thanks a lot for your thoughts. It really helps. I'll call them tomorrow morning, don't know what to expect...
