I will still loiter on the forums, I need to see how everyone is doing and post up some optimism along the way! Don't worry, I will be back entering in DV 2017!
Q
Hallo Every One I am from Ethiopia. Since the application for DV 2016 is about to end, my fiance reminded me to apply for the DV lottery. The thing is we are about to be married in January 2015. The date is already set and everything is booked. Now we both were confused what to chose when applying, either "Single" or "Married" since our marriage ceremony left only two months. I heard that if a winner filled as "Single" during application and get married after application, the US embassy take it as fraud and may disqualify both persons. Second even if the marriage was genuine like in the case of me and my fiance, one of us who might get the DV has will go to US, get the Citizenship after 5 years in order to take the other person. So I need help or precise information from anyone in this site with regard to such situation. Thanks a lot!

I can be VERY precise. If you enter now as married you will be disqualified since you are not married. There is NO doubt about that. None. Enter as single, and marry later - really that is no problem since you are marrying before the results are announced. It would be like being suspicious that someone married you for your money simply because you bought a lottery ticket yesterday.
If you want more info on marriage during the DV process you can read this:-

Britsimon has already given you the correct info but I just wanted to add that even if for some reason a spouse did not get a DV, someone can file for a spouse as soon as they become a permanent resident - you do not have to wait for citizenship. Permanent residents can file for spouses and children under 21, but do have to wait to be citizens before they can file for adult children, siblings, and parents.
Also to add that even if you were to get married after selection, as long as you can prove the marriage is genuine you will be fine and both get DVs.

Ok, just use your high school diploma for the interview to meet the education requirement.

You can't change your registered name, however an administrator can delete your account including all your previous posts under that account. Let me know if you want me to do that - take note though should you decide to register again, you cannot use the email account associated with this current profile.
Hello everyone! My name is Aj, 24 and its 3rd year applying for me! Currently living in Tennessee on a temp visa, hoping to make it permanent! Good luck to all. I get so excited after reading success stories (have just spent the past 30 minutes reading successful DV blogs).
Yes I do too... : (
Or people who just recently found out about DV 2016 and realized that registration ends tomorrow...
BTW, I got it to work by just trying again.
