Re: moving back to the us
It's usually the interview that let's the applicant down and not what's on the application. Although I had the option, I wasn't able to attend his interview, as I was still living in the UK at the time. Apparently, and I'm not sure if this is true, but we might have been more successful had I been present in his interview.
I understand how you might think that my hubby might have even less of a chance getting a US visa if he was refused a UK one, but it really does depend on the reasons for the rejection. I know one unfortunately Dominican guy who had applied for his UK spouse visa 19 times. He was successful in the end.

Funny (Not really funny) you should say that, i did have an Iranian cab driver in NYC that told me, he was deported from from UK. He had been in USA for one week & was now driving a cab. Of course, he may have been illegal.

Re: moving back to the us
The first program was DV-1995, and the following 13 countries were ineligible from the start: Canada, China (mainland), Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam
The UK it seems has never partaken

Natives of Northern Ireland will be considered to be citizens of Britain, one of the 33 other countries included in the lottery. Latin and Asian Influx
With some people planning to dump off or mail in hundreds of duplicates to increase their chances, the post office could receive as many as five million applications by the cutoff date five days later, according to some estimates.

Re: moving back to the us
Anyway Ireland's looking like a pretty good option. I've been reading one of the links posted on a thread here. My son and I won't have a problem, it seems, but again, hubby will need a visa there too. But like I said, we are going to go to an emigration office. It would be helpful if we could decide where we want to live first though. But who knows the emigration office might be able to give us some suggestions aswell. It's common knowledge that Dominicans have a tough time emigrating, as they need a visa to go virtually anywhere in the world. I've heard many stories

Re: moving back to the us
There was a time when the UK was letting in everybody. They seem to have tightened up alot now though.

Re: moving back to the us
I remember, they showed people turning up in vans & with shopping carts, mailing multiple apps, lawyers & some scam artists were charging fees to help people fill in the paperwork, promising better results.
I am sure one of my friends in England, mailed me a box full of envelopes, for us to mail. I will ask him if he recalls.

Re: moving back to the us
Yeah, definitely. My husband has been refused entry into the UK though, a few years ago so we'll need to reapply. This is why we live in the DR and not the UK. I'm not that excited about returning to the UK, but it'll be better than spending the rest of my life here. My son hates it here too. Anyway he wants to be the next Ronaldinhio so he quite fancies the idea.

Re: moving back to the us
I like being an expat. I like the feeling I get from emerging myself in another culture. I do miss the UK and I go for visits whenever I can. If I was childless and my hubby was up for it, I'd probably live partime in the UK, say for three months, and somewhere in the world for the rest of the time. I like change and experiencing living different cultures
