I just got a call this morning from your embassy in Dublin saying that my dv visa application has been denied due to the fact that I entered the lottery with a country different from my country of birth. I have dual nationality, both of which are eligible. I had written them when I received my notification letter from you asking for their advice and instead they called me back and asked me to proceed with the processing of the lottery which I had won.
Could you please advice me as I had explained to the embassy staff with whom I spoke that I have a dual nationality. I was born in Africa but entered the lottery as European whose nationality I have. In the time of the lottery, I had stated this. I then asked the embassy staff if I should go ahead to process the win and was advised to do so. My question now is why my visa was denied although I was advised to proceed with the processing.
