DV winners, please read this first ! General Info

After that they gave him a military certificate and it was written in this certificate that this person didn't do his military service(failed to recruit) and has treated in a martial court by case no...... and he is not asked to do military service any more.
Does this military certificate affect DV interview.
will this be considered as an offence(criminal record)?
Or criminal records refer to only civil crimes?
Why do they ask about military service?
They want to make sure the person was not convicted by military tribunal.
If he was, they need to know his sentense and whether the sentense is fulfilled. If it was, no problems with DV visa.
 
Great thread!

I have a question. If a DV winner is already in the US, but his wife and 2 kids are still back in his country, how would he go about bringing his family to the US? Would he have to file a petition as a GC holder or can he piggy back on his DV 2010 Lottery win and file based on that? The guy arrived in the US in November 2010.
