Thank you for the good information you gave us I have some important questions: 1) Should we enter the current address of our school and university in the DS_260 form or the old address where we studied there 17-20 years ago? Because many of these addresses have changed over the years and, for example, the school has become a driving school. 2) If many of our documents were translated about 20 years ago (such as health documents and high school diplomas), do they still need to be translated again to win the lottery? 3) Which American-approved center should Iranians go to for medical tests? 4) Which embassy is more affordable for Iranians and does not require financial support from Iranians? Thanks a lot🙏🌸
Hi Brits thanks for the video, I am from Ghana, my question is if you had a traditional marriage without going to the authorities/courts to register, do you choose that you are married or unmarried? And how do you remedy that after by any chance you win in any of the scenarios(married or unmarried)?
Thank you Brit. Question: For an international student with two first names and one last name, say Katherine Jean Smith, who has inputted both Katherine and Jean under First Name in all their documentation (I-20, I-9 etc), because in their culture both their names are considered firsts and not one middle, should they input Katherine or Jane in the middle name box, or both in the first name box? Thanks.
the issue that I have personally is about the address, since I don't have a typical address like a street number because I live in the middle of nowhere, my address is just based on my name and an estimation of the area where I live so I just don't know how to fill in the address bar
@@anjaliacr2019 yes i also happen please dont use microsoft Edge Brower because of Java Issue. so please use it other broswer like as internet explorer browser best of luck.
What if you intend traveling to another country now, but haven't moved there yet, and want to enter the lottery....and you're very sure during engrant status check, you may be out of your country . Which mailing address will you use?
Dear Simon. In case I do not have any children, for question 15 (Number of Children), should I: a) Put zero "0" as number (since the question is not optional); or b) Leave the field blank Does it matter? Thank you.
Greetings Mr. Brit, hope you're doing well, I have one question, i have one child, but am not married to mother of my child, she gave birth , after she left for another man. can i mention unmarried and on number of children i include my child.. thank you.

Hello sir, . in my case my birth certificate shows i was born in the village and not in a city. in question 4 of the application form should i live it blank or fill in the name of the village of birth ?
Thank you for your information what is the problem with for example in reality i have a son but because he was far from me and because of this reason i filled the dv lottery form as i don't have any child so now how can i make readjustment for this situation thank again.
My passport doesn’t have a surname. My first name , middle name and last name are all given under given name (first name ) and no surname is given. When I applied for an Australian visa I was instructed to proceed with my entire name as my surname and to select no first name and no middle name. Is that how I should proceed with the dv form as well? Any help will be highly appreciated Sir.
