I doubt the response from Simon will be any different from what he said to the previous post just above yours. The main thing though is "be selected first"!

@Sm1smom, thanks. I believe that I'm selected.bt will wait until I get my cn then.
Yeah, I understand about trying to exercise one's faith and I don't have a problem with anyone wanting to do that. But we certainly can't be entertaining questions from everyone based on that, that's why we tell people get selected first. Dealing with hypothetical situations is a waste of everyone's time.

Hi guys im very new to the community found alot of great info. Just a quick question i know im jumping the gun but myself and my long term girlfriend of 7 years both applied for the DV2016 we are wondering what can we do if only 1 of us gets chosen for a interview is there any way around this because we are not yet married or will we literally have to bank on both of us striking luck and getting greencards

If either one wins - you get married and you both get Green Cards. Simple.
Hey Britsimon thanks for that mate that helps me get things planned so from what your saying all i would do if one of was successful is just put that we are married in that DS-260 form do the interview officers look down at this as it looks like the only reason you got married is to get a greencard?. hope you dont mind but if i am successful i wouldn't mind shooting you a bunch of questions you have alot of information and from what i could gather you and myself are in the I.T industry

You must be accurate in the DS260 - so you only put married if the marriage actually took place and you have the documents. More info here.

Good luck - and yeah if you are successful I can field your questions!

Maybe you can browse the site a bit using the search function, there has been a lot on marriage. Short answer is if you can show it is a genuine relationship, which you obviously can, you'll be fine.

I made a spelling error in my name, interesting thing is I first applies for DV2014 and made same error and got selected then in DV2015 I didn't make an error and didn't get selected and now again I made that error, it's that this time my sister in law filled an application, please tell me that spelling error can cause serious problem

If you read through some of the threads, yes people are being denied for incorrect name spellings this year. Don't know if it happens in every case of a misspelled name but it has happened for some.

We hust got accepted for the 2015 green card. We were not married at time of applying for the lottery. When I came back for further processing we got married a month later and then filled in our ds260. There was not an issue at all. We didn't have to prove our relationship or anything at the interview. But that's not always going to be the case. Like everyone else mentioned before just fill in everything as it is right now. Then if you get selected you can add your new wife.
Hey Hershal congrats mate on being accepted really happy for you. Ok cool so you were in the same situation thats good to know someone went through the same thing. If myself or girlfriend get accepted for DV2016 ill be sure to ask you some questions if you dont mind once again congrats and thanks for the info
Hi, I'm new and had been reading lot of Qs and As here.... very informative.
I'm from Sri Lanka, and don't have my A/Ls. I have a BSc level UK professional qualification (not uni) which is acceptable for further academic studies by Postgraduate Institute of Management (prob. #1 in SL for MBAs and MPAs). Will this qualify for educational requirements ? as I understand A/Ls is the minimum equal but not the `one and only'.

Given the time zone he's in, it might take a few hours for @Britsimon to response, but I can say that you don't have to find a 'host' or someone to stay with.
You will, however, need to have an address to send the GC to. You can change this address at any time up to the point of entry. It can't be a PO Box and has to be a street address, but you can have it sent to a hotel etc.
