Я понимаю, что и так понятно, но это же не сказка, а нормативный документ, который не должен допускать разночтений
Instrukcia dlia pol’zovatelia - eto ne normativnyi dokument, on ne imeet statusa zakona, i v nem est’ massa netochnostei v plane togo, chto zakon govorit inache, ne to, chto govorit instrukcia. V 15 stranicah instrukcii nel’zia vpihnut’ to, chto skazano na 5000 stranicah zakona.
А вот эту фразу я как раз понимаю не как “разрешает не включать”, а как запрещает включать. То есть must (except) = must not.
Ia ponimaiu eto sovershenno inache. Eto oznachaet, chto vo vseh sluchaiah krome except est’ surovaia neobhodimost’ vnosit’ ih v zaiavku (kotoraia mojet vylit’sia v diskvalifikaciu). A v sluchaiah except takoi surovoi neobhodimosti net. Bolee togo, mojet byt’, est’ inaia, bolee slabaia neobhodimost’ - etogo my ne znaem. Slovo MUST oznachaet vysshuiu stepen’ doljestvovania v angliiskoi grammatike. Est’ i bolee slabye formy - has to, should, ought to, may, could, might. I nekotorye iz etih form dostatochno jestkie, naprimer, has to. No vse je ne takie jestkie kak MUST.
У нас разные редакции? У меня нет этого окончания:
You must list ALL your children who are unmarried and under 21 years of age at the time of your initial E-DV entry, whether they are your natural children, your spouse’s children, or children you have formally adopted in accordance with the laws of your country, unless such child is already a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident.
Vy pravy. Instrukcia pomenialas’ s togo momenta, kak ia ee procitiroval. Eto horoshii znak. teper’ protivorechii v instrukciah net. Vse mesta v instrukciah znachat teper’ odno i to je - vnosit’ vseh detei.
odnako, sama elektronnaia forma https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/application.aspx vse escio soderjit te samye slova (vydelennye jirnym), kotorye vstupaiut v protivorechie s instrukciei, i status elektronnoi formy vyshe chem status instrukcii:
Children include all biological children, legally adopted children, and stepchildren who are unmarried and under the age of 21 on the date that you submit your entry. Failure to include all children or inclusion of children who are not your biological children, legally adopted children, and stepchildren (regardless of whether they live with you and/or intend to apply for a visa as your derivative) is grounds for disqualification of the entire entry.
Legal Permanent Residents (LPR) and American Citizens should not be included.
Krome togo, nekotorye chasti instrukcii vse escio predlagaiut etih detei vnosit’ bez fotografii, hotia sama elektronnaia forma prosto ne propuskaet detei bez fotografii - vasha zaiavka ne vydast podtverjdenia esli vy ne prilojite foto rebenka.
