More details to this question:
I am writing this on behalf of my aunt. Her husband had recently applied for American lottery. And they won. Every document they submitted was accepted and was correct. The doctor check out was also fine. But on the interview date. The agent refused the visa to them saying. That the level of his education is not enough. But thats just crazy , the minimum requirements when applying for American lottery is High School. And he had that ! Now I wonder what can be done in this case ? Can this decision be appealed ?
If your aunt's husband believes that the decision was incorrect, he can ask for reconsideration of his case at the embassy. If there is a refusal to reconsider, he can appeal his case to the Department of State which can correct consular errors of law. You would also have to have the problem solved and be able to immigrate by September 30th since the diversity these as would expire after that day.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
