Entering a lottery is not immigrant intent. Even getting selected is not immigrant intent. You only signal immigrant intent when you submit a DS260.

You need to stop reading nonsense sites. Anything submitted during the entry period with a confirmation number is a valid entry. 

that is great news
when it rains it pours and best of luck, really great news
 
 
Am applying for jobs over 16 months now and all i got are quick interviews and "Sorry" since am not eligible to work yet.
 
 

Thats good. Hope you will come to US soon. All the best brother! Which state your going to stay? Do you have to stay in the same state where your sponsor live? Florida where I am living is good in many ways but pay is not good. Its a kind of poor state😊 with no state income tax which is best, It is a kind of retirement area. Sunny and no 4 season. Wisely decide where to start, am telling if you get a good job in one state your are getting stuck to it. I was thinking to move to Washington State but then I got a City job so I am going to live here until getting retired, lol.

When did you submit your DS260?
Did you submit copies of your civil documents to KCC and receive confirmation of that?

Someone correct me, but I believe this disqualifies your parents.

Oh i see it now.
 
well i really hope your the best of luck and you would be able to go through it

No.  The total value of the assets must equal at least five times the difference between the household income and the poverty guidelines. The required income for 6 people total is $42,175, so you’d need 5x 15k = $75k in savings (that’s rounded but clearly still far from the actual number).
 

Oh i missed the bit about your family also having 3 members. Then $27k is not enough. 
He sounds like he’s playing games with income & expenses for tax purposes. The reason doesn’t matter for you, just the outcome, which is that what he’s showing as income isn’t sufficient to sponsor your family. 

Yes it must be correct size. You can crop your photo to get the correct proportions. 

I too had B1/B2 visa and won Diversity Visa last year. i didnt have any issues while crossing the border with B1/B2 visa. 

Thank you for this feedback
 
i really appreciated 

What website are you looking at? No embassy involved. Go to dvlottery.state.gov and click the blue button that says “DV-2020 instructions” and once you’ve read them properly, click the green button that says “begin entry”.

Fantastic news! Congratulations!

Doesn't matter what you put in the application form about education, what matters is that you qualify at the time of the interview.
 
You don't take your DS260 with you, the consulate will have the electronic copy you submitted. If you want to correct your DS260, email KCC with your details (full name, case number, date of birth IN AMERICAN CONVENTION mm-dd--yyyy) and ask to unlock the DS260 for you. Depending how busy they are could take a few days before you get notified its ready for you. There is plenty of time to go...don't rush it, double check everything else is correct before resubmitting it.
 
By the way there is no prior selection or deselection for interview. If you are selected for DV and you submit a DS260, you will be scheduled an interview when your case number is current. Being granted an interview doesn't say anything about your eligibility etc because only a consular officer can make that determination, and will do so at your interview.

You didn't state a country of origin in the your profile.  It is kind of a regional thing but even then you should be fine.  I know a few from Nigeria have been asked for one ( back when they were still in the lottery)  but they general had the only a high school degree and no savings.  

Sponsorship requests are relatively infrequent and usually for people who cannot otherwise show that they can support themselves. Your own financial circumstances (savings around double the annual poverty guideline for your family size) plus job prospects should be more than adequate on their own.
