Hi I was a winner for DV2012 but it was brought to my attention that the results have been cancelled. Thanks jms_uk for that! I've reposted as a new thread for everyone. http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/esc There is a video link the website with someone explaining that the selection was not random so ...

Wow that's quite a big glitch!

Shame about such a long delay to sort it out.

Oh well, fingers crossed for the next draw! Thanks for letting me know - I think this could be easily missed.

I take it you don't believe the advice you have been given in the other forum? I do :D but it can't hurt to look elsewhere too - there must be other people who have been in this situation I emailed a couple of immigration lawyers over the weekend so I'll see what they say. I'm not working at the mo...

That is usually the case but it explains in the instructions that a spouse can claim the country of birth of their husband/wife, so I was born in the UK but I claimed Morocco via this chargeability

Hi Jay, Congrats to you too for winning :-) what is your ranking number like? Mine is AF34xxx which is quite high I think but should still receive an interview I hope. On closer inspection, it turns out my husband is not eligible - as he has a niveau bac (not baccalaureate) which is not accepted, an...

Response from VFS helpline (the company who deals with the Spanish visa applications) Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email to the Joint Visa Application Centre Helpdesk in London. If your husband wants to apply for a EU spouse visa to enter Spain, the marriage certificate will need to be legalis...

Such a shame as I love Spain and I would love to share it with my husband! Might just have to wait until he applies for British citizenship one day!

I was thinking of applying for the German visa but actually going to Spain instead...

Would we get into too much trouble for that?

I think it is a tourist visa for dependants - so as my husband is the spouse of an EU citizen, he doesn't have to supply certain documents like 3 months bank statements, invitation letter, etc as a normal tourist would. He *should* be able to just show that he is my spouse and voila! He can travel w...

http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Consulados/Londres/en/MenuPpal/Servicios/Visados/Paginas/conditionsapplication_services.aspx Hi I was using this site for documents required for the visa application. The dependant visa requires less documents than the tourist one, and there is also no fee. My husband got ...

Hello I am British and my husband is Moroccan. We have both been selected to have our applications processed further for the US visa lottery. We married in Morocco in 2008 and since then have been living together in the UK. I have a few questions: 1. As we were both selected, should we be sending tw...

Hello I'm British and my husband is Moroccan. We married in Morocco in 2008 and had our marriage certificate translated to English in Morocco. He has been living in the UK with a 2 year spouse visa and recently received his indefinite leave to remain in the UK. We are both living together in the UK....
