I am a winner from Nigeria,my daughter was not included in the Visa lottery but I wrote her name/picture in the form I returned back to KCC,some people said I don’t any chance of getting 2nd letter and that I will be refused visa. But I have all the evidence as regard to my daughter, wedding Cert/pictures, her naming ceremony pictures, her 1 year birthday pictures, she also resemble me also I am a graduate with 5 yrs professional experience in my job.
Any chance of getting the Visa?
HI SCOPIDO, THIS IS INDEED A VERY PATHETIC SITUATION BECAUSE FROM YOUR POST, I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR DAUGHTER WAS BORN BEFORE YOU ENTERED FOR THE DV LOTTERY. THE RULE IS THAT YOU ARE TO ADD ALL YOUR CHILDREN WHEN ENTERING FOR THE LOTTERY AS FAILURE TO DO SO WOULD DISQUALIFY YOUR OWN APPLICATION. ON THIS ,I WILL LIKE TO REFER YOU TO travel.state.gov READ "DV2011 INSTRUTIONS" ITS ACTUALLY A DOCUMENT IN PDF FORMAT, AS THIS WILL THROW MORE LIGHT ON THE ISSUE AT HAND. MEANWHILE BELOW IS AN EXTRACT FROM THE DOCUMENT.
14. NUMBER OF CHILDREN – Entries MUST include the name, date, and place of birth of your spouse and all natural children, as well as all legally adopted children and stepchildren who are unmarried and under the age of 21 on the date of your electronic entry (do not include children who are already U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents), even if you are no longer legally married to the child’s parent, and even if the spouse or child does not currently reside with you and/or will not immigrate with you. Note that married children and children 21 years or older are not eligible for the DV; however, U.S. law protects children from ―aging out‖ in certain circumstances. If your electronic DV entry is made before your unmarried child turns 21, and the child turns 21 before visa issuance, he/she may be protected from aging out by the Child Status Protection Act and be treated as though he/she were under 21 for visa-processing purposes. Failure to list all children who are eligible will result in disqualification of the principal applicant and refusal of all visas in the case at the time of the visa interview. See Frequently Asked Question #11. 15. SPOUSE INFORMATION – Name, Date of Birth, Gender, City/Town of Birth, Country of Birth, and Photograph. Failure to list your spouse will result in disqualification of the principal applicant and refusal of all visas in the case at the time of the visa interview. 16. CHILDREN INFORMATION – Name, Date of Birth, Gender, City/Town of Birth, Country of Birth, and Photograph: Include all children declared in question #14 above.
NB. HOWEVER IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A TANGIBLE REASON FOR NOT ADDING HER IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU CAN WRITE TO LET THEM KNOW. ABOVE ALL, PRAY AND HOPE FOR THE BEST BECAUSE WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. CHEERS!
