[amilazer 0]

Hi everybody

I am filling Form DS-260 for a diversity visa application and my mother's day and month of birth are unknown. i have only the year in which she was born. her original birth certificate contains only the year of birth. the form asks me for the day and month.

what should I do.

You can tick the box that says unknown and leave her date of birth blank

even if I know the year of her birth

You can check unknown. However, it is common problem in Morocco and it is acceptable to use January 1st of the known year in that case (which is one reason to keep the correct country on your profile when asking questions. Many answers are country specific)

Thats a common issue , so what i advised you to do is just put 01/01 for month and day

Ex : 01/01/1950.

Hope that helps

I had the exact same issue. I had the year of birth of my father but no day or month. So, what I did is that I filled the year of birth and left the day and month blank. The DS-260 allows for that.

LOL, Birthdays aren't commonly celebrated in Morocco.
