❤thank you maa, from the process of explanations I'm grateful.🎉
You're most welcome, thanks for watching
Thank you 🙏
My pleasure
I keep getting an error notice in part one but it's not showing me where the error has been made so I'm confused what do I do?
@@bridgetndovi1030 it’s got to be one of the required boxes that is not checked. Are you applying as unmarried? With or without children? Is the education part completed? Birth place section? Double check everything. If no children put 0
Do we use computers when applying or even phone can?
@@muyanjamedie I’ve heard from some people who have used the phone to apply successfully. If you have access to a computer that’s better. Just be sure to have a strong uninterrupted internet connection
@@muyanjamedie good luck!
I thought Great Britain was added this year, in addition to Cuba. Is this correct?
@@debbiemyers1885 Great Britain is eligible
Thanks you
@@JaneMwangi-z9c my pleasure. Thanks for watching
Hello, thanks for showing us what this form looks like and for the quick explanation! But still, I have 2 questions :D
1) What if I am about to finish my uni degree (I still have a few - 7-8 months till I graduate) but I haven't finished yet. Should I select then only a high school degree or can I pick University degree because I will have that degree at the moment of the interview?
It's Medicine in Poland, but I don't know what kind of degree it is in the equivalent to American types of degree. Could You please help me?
2) I am not married yet, but I will be within 1 year from now (kinda similar to that with Uni degree above). What should I choose? I'm asking because I want to take my spouse with me to the USA.
Thank You in advance for your time and help, thanks for this video, have a lovely day! :3
@@damianadasik4033 for the school, use high school certificate
For the marriage section, put single / unmarried
Your girlfriend can also put single/unmarried on her separate entry
If any of you wins, you can adjust your marital status on the DS 260 when you get married
I graduated from high school is it possible for me to put my parents and my sister on dvd with me cause I don’t have kids and if there is any other options 😊
@@hananmohammed8909 your parents and your siblings can do separate entries. You should apply as unmarried and no children- that’s if you are single
Hello, I live in the middle east and have no friend and relative in usa. What am I to write in mailing and permanent address in DS260??
Can I book hotel and write hotel address??
@@mdab6474 yes
Hello.
Can u help to tell if my dv photo meets all requirements
@@eunicekabogoro7878 if it meets all the requirements, it will be easily uploaded on your entry. There’s a photo tool on dvprogram.state.gov
Hello Lucy, can you please help me, mine it not showing me part2, im married i want to add my spouse or derivative but i don't get part2 of it
@@QueenUwa-p2r are you able to go back and start again before you submit? Can you take a screenshot and show me what you see?
Hi my youngest son’s passport is missing the sir name. It has his first middle then Kenyan name. How should I fill his names? Example his name is Calvin Marley Kamau. His sir name is Njoroge but not on his passport. How should I fill his name?
@@littlemisssunshine6272 I would fill it the same way it appears on his passport
Madam pls can i apply it on my phone?
@@danielowiredu7300 you can but it’s recommended to use a laptop or desktop. Make sure you have a strong internet connection to avoid interruptions.
Please reply: It says do not enter District/county/province and state,
And I was not born in capital city so my passport shows the district where i was born. So, am I going to enter that district or choose the birth city unknown???
@@Youngdamsel write what it says on your passport . That section of the form does not really affect your visa outcome as long as your country is eligible
@@LucymwangiUSA Thank you a lot ❤️
@@Youngdamsel my pleasure. All the best
HELLO, thanks for this video. I would like to ask you. I get married 1 week go and I applying for DV 2026. Could we apply both of us or just one? We want to have bigger chance to win. If yes, can I put myself like primary applicant in the form and him like as derivative? And when he will apply he can do the same thing as well? Let me know because I just do not want to make any mistakes. Thank you :)
Yes, both of you can do separate applications and add each other
Hello Ma’am can I be dependent on multiple applications?
@@umarlawal534 unless you are someone’s husband, the wife will put as a derivative. If you are an eligible child , when both parents apply , they add you as a dependent
My son is in school I can't have his photo! Is there a way to add him after being selected?
@@QueenColletaMwithanga unfortunately you will not be able to add him if selected. You will have to file for him later under the family sponsored visa
Thanks for your useful information but my country is not eligible for this opportunity, please if you can explain why Is not eligible?
@@AttaUrRehman-u7c because your country has many of its citizens already in the US.
@@LucymwangiUSA Thanks for Your response if any other methods?
@@AttaUrRehman-u7c go to travel.state.gov and search ‘visas’ you will see so many other ways of coming to the USA
Oops i just saw ur video but i put in my middle name my father name what should i do
@@SamAhmad-u5f you can’t change it now but if you win you will have an opportunity to correct it on the DS-260
@@SamAhmad-u5f no problem. Good luck this year
So if husband is applying they have to upload wife’s photo also?
@@nyabutomoige5487 yes
Lucy help me here am confussed
@@valarienyamururu5214 where’s the confusion?
Can you appy if you husband is from the country thats is not eligible but my country is eligible south africa and my husband is not eligible from bangladesh
Yes. You the wife should apply as the primary applicant and add your husband as a derivative (dependant)
What if you don't have a child what do you fill on that space ?
@@rosemarynjeri2150 you can put 0
Hello. If I don't have the photo of a child but I'm the mother, should I still mention her? Obviously, I won't be able to upload her photo.
@@MissS4307 If you don’t mention the child you will not be able to add the child on the DS-260 if you win. You will have to file for the child later
@@MissS4307 is there no way to get the child’s photo?
No, she stays in another province. In the rural area. Is it not going to be seen as fraud later if I say she is my child but I had not mentioned her earlier? Will the system allow me to say I have 3 kids but upload 2 photos? That's what my question is.
My other question is that, I have Honours degree. Do I mark it as University degree or a Post graduate course? It's South Africa Honours degree.
@ someone can take a picture and send it you?
Is the application only in English ?
@@Sey-n3n yes it is
Please do I have to provide school certificate, passport and work certificate during interview
Yes
@@LucymwangiUSA please if I don’t have it , it means no way for me right? Work or school certificate
@@KaakyireAdutravelblog you will need to prove these things. Do you not have a passport?
@@LucymwangiUSA please yes I have
But it’s not passport from my country
What if my country of birth is not my nationality. Which one will be my eligibility country my nationality or country of birth

Hi dear my name is Jamada. From south Africa Johannesburg. I did submit my application dv 2026. But I did not get the confirmation numbers. The reason the poor went of at that moment please what can I do to recover my confirmation number please
@@JamadaNsubuga you will most likely have to wait until May next year. At that point, you can use the “forgot confirmation number “ to access your results
This is another option. According to the instructions on the dvprogram.state.gov, " I hitthe “Submit" button but did not receive a confirmation number. If I
submit another entry, will I be disqualified?
If you did not receive a confirmation number, your entry was not recorded. You must submit
another entry. It will not be counted as a duplicate. Once you receive a confirmation number,
do not resubmit your information."

Thank you dear, you are really a sis
@@ClaraDeyang my pleasure. Thank you for watching
My wife is the primary applicant as the country of her birth is eligible. Her passport does not have my name in it (Spouse Name). Is this okay?
@@nohinnelson I don’t believe that’s a problem. Do you have a marriage certificate?
@@LucymwangiUSA Yes we do have a marriage certificate.
And Lucy, I have to say, this is the best step by step instructions video I have watched on UA-cam. You covered all aspects of it, even the doubts that people might have.
All the best. God bless :)
@@nohinnelsonthank you for your feedback ☺️
If you have a marriage certificate, that’s what you will need at the visa interview process
Your photo is jpg is it allowed
@@abdalrahmanmalik180 yes

Currently I am a nurse with a diploma where should i click madam please help

Hii naye ni kuanguka nayo❤😂nguvu ya kukosa kuapply itatoka wapi?😂not after such an insightful video ❤keep shining Lucy

What if the child doesn't have father name
You should still include the child
If you win, you will need to bring the child's birth certificate to the visa interview
Mara hii naona niki win hii kitu maze..Ile confidence ninayo Acha tu.
Confidence and manifestation ni muhimu. I wish you all the best!
Good luck this year!
I uploaded a full photo instead of a passport size photo 😭

It does not change your status. The child is not added until they are born
I'm from angola i have 2 middle names my

Should i put bith
@@inesmisftt6828 you can put both
@@inesmisftt6828 yes
Clarification: If you are widowed - be prepared to bring your spouse’s death certificate to the visa interview
what else is required for a widowed person apart from death certificate
@@annchorio8105 the death certificate should be sufficient but i would also bring the marriage license
Sister when I’m applying can i add my wife and when she applying can she do the same so we can get high chance or it’s not allowed
@@gicilo386 yes, this is allowed
@@gicilo386 remember the eligibility requirements remain in effect: minimum education or work experience and country of birth

When filling the form, i did choose married but my spouse not a us citizen, then for child i put 0 bcos my son his over 21 yrs so now im struggling to fill for derivative 😢
@@QueenUwa-p2r on part 2 , put in your spouse’s information
@@QueenUwa-p2r your spouse is your derivative
@@LucymwangiUSA when I finish filling part1, then I press continue I don't get part 2, it only show me my information then down there it's written, submit entry/ go back to part 1/ cancel entry these are the things I see
@@QueenUwa-p2r what if you put 1 child and see what part 2 looks like
@@LucymwangiUSA thank you I will try it like that 🙏 bcos in part 1 I didn't put a child I wrote 0 for that part where they ask about children, bcos my son his over 21 but now I will write 1 child and see part 2 then I will fill for my husband nd go back to part 1 nd cancel the child I think that way it will work
Question where does diploma lie in the education tier @lucynmwangiusa
I would click high school degree if your diploma was not a 4 year course
