Hi Simon , Thank you for supporting people to fill the lottery . I am from Tajikistan and my country is eligible . The question number 6 in my case will be YES.
My friend shared me alink but when i opened it was in dark screen but i filled n it was successful so can that affect my summit cos it was dark not white screen
Hi Simon! Got a question: I made my entry and got the Success, Entry Received message. Then I was silly and wanted to double check had I uploaded the correct photo, so I pressed back from my browser and refreshed the page. Refreshing the page (not hitting submit) caused to prompt a message on a yellow background: "The information submitted has not been accepted because it matches a previous entry in our records. Individuals may only submit one entry per DV period. Duplicate entries will not be accepted." - So does this mean I'm disqualified because of a stupid manual error I did? I feel so stupid now.
Thanks for explaining question #6. I was born in a different country than the one I reside in currently so I'm entering the lottery from there since it's eligible. This is correct from what I'm understanding.
Some people upload photo and it says photography successfully, others show photo, once you click next page for the full info it says photography received. Is there any different between these two?
@BritSimon..i followed you tuttorials but then when i open the portal, for example the gender option. the box column is not available for me to tick so as the other ones as well that followed. any help please

Hello BritSimon, German viewer here. I have one question regarding the City of Birth: My Wife was born in Kazakhstan, the City is named Щучинск. Her German Documents translate the Name of that City to "Schtuschinsk", but the correct english name for this City would be "Shchuchinsk". Should we enter the exact Name of the City as it is stated in her Documents or as it would be correct in English? Thank you very much!
Hey Brit Simon, i am wondering if i can submit for DV2026 if i already have been selected for 2025(oct2024-sept2025) but not recieved the interview email ( obviously its only just started).

Dear sir, can I cancel it after the submission of the form and restart it all over perhaps if I realized that I made mistakes while I was finishing up the form?
Hiii namaste simon sir...I am dv winner of 2025 but there is a problem there is a small black scratch in the background of my photo. Now will this result in my rejection in the interview or not? This is causing me a lot of stress sir.
And al so my dv lottery satisfaction supercent because i got confirmation number but i have one problem now as per your policy as per dv lottery policy my name is abdul raz i have last name in family name and In my family name, my name was Razaq Raziq and in my first name, Abdul Raziq was written, but when my confirmation code was sent, my name is Razaq Abdul, so it is wrong. Will this cause any issue or not to me in the further process of V Lottery because it is very important for me I am very concerned.

Is that just me, or is a WhatsApp notification sound popping occasionally in the video? Because every time, I'm going to my app to see if it is me or a video. )))
At the time of dv 2024 me and wife was separated but not legally she was totally off connection to me so i fill the form unmarried. And i got selected randomly even my case go current but i didn't receive 2 nl in Nepal cause of backlog and it end there but i fill ds form as single as well. Now circumstances has changed after i got selected my wife came back at that time i already filled the ds now my relationship is going good Now the problem is i want to fill the 2026 dv program . Should i fill the form as married or should i go with legally separated. Does previous ds form will cause dellima if got selected . Right now my wife doesn't want to fill it cause she believes she is unlucky for it and insists to fill separate . What should i do. Does filling the form as married in dv 2026 going to cause me trouble as i filled ds form as single in dv 2024
Your grandchild cannot be included, so enter your child in the entry, and if selected she will be able to bring her child later - but it will be a complex process.
Guys, if you get selected, I can assure you that Simon will become your best friend! Good luck to you all! PS. Imagine if this explanatory submission of yours gets selected for DV-2026 haha!
This was really helpful i nearly paid out to get this done...THANKS ALOT
