Hi i entered the dv lottery for 2014 but im from Australia and we dont call completing year 12 or high school degree so when i had the chooce if ive completed high school, no degree or high school degree i chose high school no degree as i though it was refering to completing high school but no going to UNI to finish a degree. i have completed it and have my certificate and also completed diplomas would i still have a chance to be selected ? even though i selected high school no degree? reaaly confused on the procees.

Hi Sab355

I am an Australian also. They require that you prove you have done 12 years of school, so either a HSC, a VCE etc. We had a very sad case of an Aussie who got selected for the lottery and at interview was denied his green card because, even though he was told he had the 'equivalent' of year 12 because he had attended TAFE, it was not the same.

Have you finished your year 12? If you have, request a copy of your VCE etc to prove so.

Warm wishes and good luck

Pro tip, email the confirmation number to yourself, that way its almost impossible to lose.
 
Hi Jess

I email myself and hubby, take a screen shot AND print it out :)

I got American passport photos and when I scanned them, they are just short of the 600 x 600 measurements required :( So over the weekend I will take some myself. Last thing I want to do is rush and get it wrong!

Warm wishes all

Hey Qewty :)

I got American passport photos as well and when I scanned them, they didn't fit the requirements. So I went into Photoshop and changed the image size. Then it fit perfectly. :)
It looks the same! So it should be fine! Maybe you can try that instead?

Cheers.
 
Good luck to everyone!
I'm applying tomorrow, whoever previously said something about those who really want/need it compared to those who apply and don't really care too much - I agree with you!!! Some of us check this forum every day and live & breathe it!
To all of you who live and breathe it Good Luck!!

I am so hopeful for this year!!!
 
I am a strong advocated of 'believing it into being".

All the very best to everyone who truly want the chance for change :)

Warm wishes,

I just saw this message, I'm sorry if this seems silly, but if you graduated year 12 from an Australian high school, and are at University now (but not yet graduated) would you select High school degree, I guess the high school no degree confused me.
Thanks!

Hey Raybongs

I thought about that, but I was worried it will look like I tampered with it! Just my luck it would, so I will take some and see how that goes.

Thanks for the advice though - cheers!

A question regarding application entry...

Greetings everybody, I've been following this forum for some time and now I finally registered on it.
On the 1st day of DV-2014 Entry Applications (that's 2nd of October) I registered myself and I have a question to ask so if someone would just answer me to see if I done everything correctly.

On the second page where one checks to see if he entered his information correctly I pressed submit once and a blank page came out (like an error, something like that, it just didn't came out a page with a Confirmation Number as it should). I immediately pressed Go back one page using my browser (that was the only way I could do ofcourse, BTW. I was using Mozilla Firefox), pressed submit once again and a page with a Confirmation Number came out.

What bugs me is did I do everything correctly, no problem at all? Is that just a sign of server being overloaded since applications just started a couple of hours eariles with many people filling it online, there's no way that a double entry could be made that way, am I correct, after all I came of just once with a page where my Confirmation Number is, a page that I ofcourse saved, right?

Thanks in advance for any answer folks and good luck to everyone!

No worries at all. Only a successful entry receives a confirmation page, not an incomplete one. You have only submited one entry, so don't worry, everything is fine. Just pray that you will be among the selected guys for DV-2014. You will find that out on 1st May 2013.

Best of luck!

Thank you very much for your answer, now I feel better knowing that everything is fine when it comes to that.
Yep, now what's next is to wait and pray for the best, I sure hope to be among the selectees
(I sure can't wait for 1st of May).
BTW. This is my first entry application, USA has been my dream ever since I was a kid.
Once again thanks and good luck to everyone! :cool:
 
Greetings!
