I am sure you will be fine. You just need to prove at the day of the interview that you didn't get married cause of the green card lottery, and your case sounds legit.

i also have my wife internationl passport bearing my own name and also my baby travelling passport has been issue since lasy year march 2010
I am on the same one too.
We are in this together and will continue to support one another especially if we are selected.
@royaltunde, All u need do is very simple. Go to Ikoyi Registry and get a proper Marriage Certificate. They dont accept any Local Govt Registry. While u are filling ur DS-230 FORM, fill in the exact date u guys were married at Ikoyi Registry and not ur Traditional Wedding date. If the Consular asked u why did u fill married wereas u guyz are just doing ur wedding, tell him u av been living together as man and wife cos u av paid her diary traditionally, and that u hurriedly did ur Court wedding cos u want to make it formal.
The Consular and the US Embassy only recognises Court weddings, Ur church and ur traditional weddings is not neccessary to them. Mind u, u are going to a western country, where all they know is DIVOURCE and the proceedings for divourcing is only done in court.
Ur traditional and church wedding if u so wishes is just an added advantage that ur marriage is not fraud, but they wont deny u if u dont do them. I hope this helps. Let me know if u av anymore issues. One love bro and i wish everyone all the best come MAY 1st.
I guess most of us already did a comparison and concluded that the USA is where we want to go. While I agree that the USA along with other countries are feeling the pinch of the bad economy. On the other hand, i truly believe that life is what you make it. You either sink or swim wherever you go. Personally speaking, I believe that if I can live where I am now, I definitely can live in the U.S. The prices are soooo high on everything so it's just like were paying 'taxes' even though we don't literally pay taxes, crime rate is so high notwithstanding how small this country is, customs duty rates are high (e.g. 60% on the purchase price and shipping for vehicles-RIDICULOUS!!!!) So for these reasons, the opportunities for starting a business is futile and we have friends over there who are just like 'blood' famliy (more so than my actual blood relatives over here).
yeah, only problem is my country of origin doesn't even recognize a US diploma, so 4 years of studying and paying money will be for nothing.
Where do you live?

Most will be disappointed this coming Sunday, most likely me too. I bet once most find out they have not been selected on here they will stop going on these forums. Not me though, il still stick around and try and give my help.
If you don't get selected guys don't worry, it wasn't your fault since millions of other people have not been selected also. There is always another time to do it.
Looking forward to seeing who will get selected this coming Sunday on the forums anyway.

You must mean a US degree right? Most people go over to the US for college education to earn a degree of some sort. A US degree is recognized worldwide and considered quite an accomplishment. I think you're being a bit too modest with you're education, maybe it really is something so research it some more.
don't lose hope before you get the results. if you don't win, try for 2013. It's not over till the fat lady sings!!

let's try and report ere after checking the status May 1
julyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Or maybe you are just baned from participating.... Keep in mind that 1 illegitimate entry disqualify you for the lottery & also get you ban for life from participying the lottery (double entry, can happen, sometimes you forget that you allready applied or you think your aplication wans't submited so you repost it) ...
& to thoses who bring the 0.1% chance.. May i know from where do you get thoses?
First, we do not all have the same chance at all, African born have the "best chances" of winning followed by the europeans (80% of all the visas go to europe & Africa), & even if we had all the same chance wich is wrong, doing simple math will show that we have not 0.1 but 0.52% of winning...
If that could cheer you up here some facts : among the 19 millions entries, a lot of them were disqualified for illegitimate entries so in reality, you don't compete against all the entry but only against all the "valid ones"... Many peoples are baned but don't even know it... For instance, for the 2011 edition, 86.83% Nigerian entrants and 86.45% Bangladeshi entrants were disqualified during selection process because of illegitimate entries (but thoses numbers are not show in the statistics, they just show the aplication submited), thoses ones are banned for life but don't necessarely know it.
One last thing, for thoses who aplied from a third party, you never know what thoses third parties (mostly website telling you it will increase your chance of winning), they can just got you banned, like placing duplicate entry thus disqualifying you for life & you just don't know it & keep applying... There is a reason while (if it's true) that many many first timer get the visa... Because they haven't be banned like many other who just don't know it
