DV2012 Country of nativity question

Sympli Dusty said:
So no another question. If someone using his/hers spouses country as country of chargeability, can they still submit two E-DV applications?

For example: me-Estonia country of birth
my spouse - Ukraine country of birth

I submit one application based on my spouses country of birth, and y spouse submits based on her country of birth, so two applications from Ukraine. Possible?

Yes, you and your wife may each submit an application, based on your respective country of chargeability. Each application will include his/her spouse.
 
When you use an entry that is based on your spouse's country of birth, not on yours, you both have to apply to visas and you both have to enter US at the same time. Of course, you still have to be married by the time of entry.

Ok, it may be the case, but sure not 'for whatever reason'!, but to the extent as allowed by law for cross-chargeability in INA 202 (b) #1-4.
(OP better take a copy of that with you to the intvw)
OP has the options of correct the eDV mistake or claim 202(b) 2 or 4.
#4 may be cumbersome as I remember few ppl during last cpl years faced.
#2 is straight forward. Then both will be considered as 'principle apps.' (but only the main winner for DV basic reqmts), and both need to enter to US together.
Also restrictions like say spouse fail medicals, or sec. chks then no benefits for the DV winner. etc.

Best!
