For two applicants, commonly married spouses without children who want both entries organized together.

Married couples need careful DV Lottery review.
Each eligible spouse may submit one entry, listing the other spouse and required children correctly. Check eligibility, family details, and photos before either entry is submitted.
Spouse information should be reviewed twice.
Married applicants generally need to list spouse details correctly unless a specific official exception applies. In many cases, each eligible spouse may submit a separate entry, with the other spouse listed correctly.
We avoid treating this as a checkbox. Names, dates, marriage status, birth country, photos, and contact details all need to match the final application summary.
Children can be the easiest detail to miss.
Eligible unmarried children under 21 may need to be included, including natural children, adopted children, and stepchildren where required. This is one of the most important family-rule review points.
The safest process is to collect family details first, then let staff review which people need to appear in the final entry.
Which package fits couples?
Family
For up to three applicants or cases where spouse and child details need to be reviewed together.
Premium
Adds priority review and a Zoom review call when available. It does not guarantee completion time or improve lottery odds.
Final approval
Before official submission, you approve the final summary so spouse and child details are not submitted blindly.
Package size does not change who must be listed on an entry. A spouse or child listed as a family member is not automatically a separately eligible principal applicant.
