Hi Everyone :),

So this is my 7th time applying but I needed some help in regards to the education side of the application.

I live in South Africa, I have completed high school , as far as I know that would be high school degree, But I have a diploma in animation which is a 2 years of study that was quite far back.

I actually changed from animation to IT, So I have certifications from Cisco, Checkpoint ect Network Security these are internationally recognize and have got 6 years experience from today.

But now I'm confused what I should select, It says (vocation schools or equivalency degrees are not acceptable) does this mean that my application will just get disqualified ? I dont think the IT is really vocational.

Or should I just put high school degree ? As there's no option to say work experience.

Thanks again :)

They DO NOT disqualify you based on that question. It is collected for statistical purposes.

This is the first time I have applied right at the start as well. Let us keep our fingers crossed.
 
I think its too late to ask this now as I applied last night, but still a good information for the future.

My real name is My_name bin Dad_name1 Dad_name2

previously i use:

family name : Dad_name1 Dad_name2
first name : My_name

this is because 'bin' means son of and mostly dropped in a lot of stuff, unless things critical to the government, because it was included on my identification card.

but this year I apply for a passport as I was requited to do an international travel. Since it was automated by scanning the identification card, 'bin' is included in my passport name.

eg: <<<<My_name<<bin<<Dad_name1<<Dad_name2<<<<

and the dvlottery page specifically requested for name like on my passport. I ended up using 'bin' as my middle name.

I guess I was doing the right thing? After all, when combined first name, middle name and family name = My_name bin Dad_name1 Dad_name2.

Anyway, wish me luck!

Good Luck to you on this year DV Lottery
 
The dvlottery form didnt accept scandinavian letters, so I had to use A instead of Ä in the name. I hope we win, but its not the end of the world if we dont :)

Now I have to make a reminder in my calendar so that I dont forget to check the status in may...
