Hello,
I have a relative with a question regarding how to register for the DV lottery:
the issue is that she was born in a city which was German territory during the 2nd World War. After the war, this city became and is now part of Poland and changed its name. her birth certificate is drafted in German, by the German authorities of the time, with the city name as it was called back then, and she is a German citizen and has lived in Germany all her life.
We are unsure what to put in the "applicant\'s place of birth" part of the registration form --i.e. old-city-name, Germany (as it was then) or new-city-name, Poland (as it is now).
any insights will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
