2. my wife is pregnant now is is due in November. what happens to the unborn child and when can i include him?
3. my passport expires in May next year but i know i may be going for my interview in January. can i use the same passport or i should change?
4. finally, question 39 of the DS 230 part II form is asking for the name of the petitioner. who is the petitioner?

1. It wouldn't be a problem if it is a genuine marriage.
2. When your wife give birth after your interview, there are options available for you to get a visa for the child. A lot of threads about this issue can be found in this forum. I will refer you to some of them.
3. You cannot renew your passport when it has not expired. Find out if there is the possibility of changing it before you interview. Other than that, you can still maintain the current one but make sure you travel to the US before it expired.
4. Under dv, the petitioner is you (the lottery winner).

Yes, sign part I but leave part II as stated on the form.

My dear, there is no single truth any more. October 1st results? U believe it?
 
yes

my comfimation nomber and year of birth are correct but still am facing a problem to check my status


My junior Brother is also facing the same problem.
It may mean that you are among those who would be selected on 1st October.

At any time,never had I a problem checking in & reconfirming my status even as of now;has he ever been successful?

About the Oct 1st selection,(not to dampen anyone's spirits),do they anticipate such a low turnout from the 105,xyz selected such as to warrant more selectees?
(Given what happened in Dv2007-8 for Africa with my high CN,prayers & more prayers).

My take is that they will gauge the response by looking at how many have submitted their DSP 230s so as to warrant a 2nd lot of winners.

On the other hand,I've noticed that the numbers are moving faster every year(I mean who would have thought all numbers would be current in June!!!!) so perhaps next year I could be current in April perhaps:cool:_perhaps the reason to add more selectees

Read visa instructions for US immigrants very carefully. It says the the passport MUST be valid for 6 months beyond the issuance date of the visa. Do not play around with this requirement. You can easily get denied because of this. It is a simple instruction but followed very strictly just like all other DV requirements. Simply obtain a new passport rather than regret later.

Frank80, my first post was mearnt for you. If your interview is in Jan and passport expires in May, then you only have 4 months after issuance of the visa. Meaning you do not meet this requirement. So just get another passport.

Problem is, can your country issue you a new passport before the one you are currently holding expires?
 
Hi Folks,

My wife and I need your help!

My Fiance won the lottery her case number is AF00026*** was received in May 7 2012
We had done our traditional engagement in April 2012
She did not add me during her entry into the draw last year.
We have filled up the forms together with me as the husband and have added my two (2) children from previous marriage to follow.

My wife is currently in the University and I am a businessman with an MBA and a degree. What are our chances?

God bless you all
