1. Lovely number - very safe.
2. Lower selectee numbers will make next year much calmer.
3. You are expecting to give birth to a spouse???? Wow - modern technology. If you have a spouse, adding usually takes just a few weeks - so that should not delay you (and even if it does - so what - it is still going to be fine).
4. This is not about travel documents - this is all based on where you were born (and where you can prove you were born). So - I assume you were born in Egypt?

But your country of eligibility is almost always based on country of birth. Can you justify one of the exceptions?
 
SusieQQQ said:
Yes, a big one. Did you not read the instructions on selecting your country of eligibility when you filmed in the entry form?

Your country of eligibility is based on birth country (unless you can prove an exception applies as per the rules). Your birth place is Saudi Arabia, so you should have an AS number, not an AF one. They don't care what citizenship you hold or held, it is not relevant to eligibility.

Read requirement number 1: http://travel.state.gov/content/dam...Translations/DV_2016_Instructions_English.pdf

So why they give me AF number then?

I can only assume that you picked Egypt as your country of chargeability.
They don't default to birth - they use what you tell them you want, because some people can choose not to use birth country.
What does your notification letter say - it should list country of chargeability?

It doesn't matter who issued the birth certificate. It matters where you were born. It says you were born in Saudi, so unless you can show one of the exceptions you will be disqualified. Did you read the link I sent you? Do you have an Egyptian spouse you can cross charge to, or can you prove that neither of your parents were Saudi, one of them was born in Egypt, and that they were only temporarily in KSA at the time of your birth?

Yes, my wife is Egyptian and born in egypt and my son too, also my mom born in egypt and egyptian. Is that will help since I got AF number?

Yes, your wife being Egyptian will help. You must state in the interview that you are cross charging to your wife, but note for this to be successful she must also be able to meet the DV requirements of education. You should technically have put this in your entry form (cross charging) but hopefully the CO will be lenient.

Proving your parents is difficult, it's not enough your mom was born in Egypt (and your dad cannot be Saudi) because you have to prove they were there temporarily when you were born which often so many years later is very difficult.

It isn't a mistake that you got the AF number - it is because you charged to Egypt. Susie is giving you excellent advice. Read it well.....

Thank you for your reply!!! No inputs were wrong into the DV application. The only thing is did not explain why did I put Egypt into the chargeability, which due my wife from Egypt and this meet the requirement? Since I have not explained into the application and it correct (missed the link in question 6), is this will be an issue during the interview? I m sure the CO will why I put Egypt and it is clear since my wife will be with me nothing else like "Sorry since you have not explain it in the form you be disqualify" I do not this it make since to say that. There is no lie/wrong info in the form. Please advice. Thank you to all!!!
