DV LOTTERY ENTRIES REQUIRE DETAILS ON DEPENDENTS According to a recently issued State Department cable, if biographic details of a spouse or dependent children are omitted from a DV lottery application, it may cause the entry to be later disqualified. If an applicant wins in the lottery and claims at the DV visa interview that he left out certain biographic details about a spouse or dependents then his application could be disqualified. However, if the discrepancy is minor then the application should not be disqualified. For example, the complete omission of a birth date is not a minor discrepancy and is cause to disqualify the application. If an applicant gets married and/or has a child after he enters the lottery the spouse and child still remain eligible for derivative diversity visas in the absence of fraud or marriage for immigration purposes.
