You can see field values from a form by inspecting cleaned_data:

if form.is_valid():
    nationality = form.cleaned_data['nationality']
    # do something based on nationality value

Later Edit:

Also, looking at how your choices are defined, you might run into a different set of problems with that if statement.

>>> one_str = '1'
>>> two_str = '2'
>>> one_str == 1
False

You defined strings as identifiers for your choice values. Change them to int to keep that logic intact. Otherwise, you'll never have field_valie == 1 evaluated to True.
