Hi Guys,
I think I may have a problem, I applied for dv-2010 lottery and then upon reading some of the posts I think I may have an issue. I’ll start from the beginning… I was born in India (I am using my wife’s country of eligibility – Kenya), on my birth certificate my name is spelled differently from the way that I have been spelling it. On my birth certificate it is spelt xixxxxxx and I have been spelling it since I moved to this country as xeexxxxxx, double e is being used instead of single i, but they are pronounced the sound the same. All my documents from school documentation, UK nationalisation certificate, bank accounts, marriage certificate, mortage etc are all with double 'e' in the name.
Is this going to get me disqualified?
To add to the confusion, in 1995 we had a world wide family name change ( have legal document that states this) and we took on our clan name (as such), so on my birth certificate it is the old surname but I have been using the new surname since 1995.
Is this going to cause any problems?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for all your help.
