Enter the Greencard Visa Lottery DV Program ...and Emigrate Legally.

Background to the Greencard Visa Lottery Program:

The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is administered on an annual basis by the Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).  Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 provides for a class of immigrants known as "diversity immigrants".  Section 203(c) of the INA provides a maximum of up to 55,000 Diversity Visas (DV) each fiscal year to be made available to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.

The DV-2010 Program:

The annual DV program makes diversity immigrant visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements.  A computer-generated random lottery drawing chooses selectees for diversity visas.  The visas, however, are distributed among six geographic regions with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to nationals of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. over the period of the past five years.  Within each region, no one country may receive more than seven percent of the available Diversity Visas in any one year.

Eligibility - To qualify you must satisfy the following requirements:

1) Natives of the Countries below cannot enter.

All native of every country may enter the DV lottery, except those listed below:

Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Peru, Poland, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories (Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn, St. Helena, Turks & Caicos Islands) and Vietnam. If you were born in these countries you cannot, participate in the Diversity Program this year.

Note that persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible to apply.

For DV-2010, Russia has returned to the list of eligible countries. Kosovo has also been added to the list of eligible countries. No countries have been removed from the list of eligible countries for DV-2010.

2) Nativity and Eligibility:

Native of a country whose natives qualify: In most cases this means the country in which you were born. However, there are two other ways you may be able to qualify. First, if you were born in a country whose natives are ineligible but your spouse was born in a country whose natives are eligible, you can claim your spouse’s country of birth provided both you and your spouse are on the selected entry, are issued visas and enter the U.S. simultaneously. Second, if you were born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but neither of your parents was born there or resided there at the time of your birth, you may claim nativity in one of your parents’ country of birth if it is a country whose natives qualify for the DV-2010 program.

3) Education or Work Experience:

You must have EITHER a high school education or its equivalent, defined as successful completion of a 12-year course of elementary and secondary education; OR two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience to perform.  The U.S. Department of Labor’s O*Net OnLine  database will be used to determine qualifying work experience.  For more information about qualifying work experience, see Frequently Asked Question #13.

I am not sure if I qualify to enter DV2010?

The selection process:

The computer will select at random individuals from among all qualified entries.  They will be notified by mail between May and July 2009 and will be provided further instructions, including information on fees connected with immigration to the U.S.  Those selected in the random drawing are NOT notified by email.  Those individuals NOT selected will NOT receive any notification.  U.S. embassies and consulates will not be able to provide a list of successful entrants.  Spouses and unmarried children under age 21 of successful entrants may also apply for visas to accompany or follow to join the principal applicant.  DV-2010 visas will be issued between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2010.

In order to receive a Diversity Visa to immigrate to the United States, those chosen in the random drawing must meet ALL eligibility requirements under U.S. law.  Processing of entries and issuance of diversity visas to successful individuals and their eligible family members MUST occur by midnight on September 30, 2010.  Under no circumstances can diversity visas be issued or adjustments approved after this date, nor can family members obtain diversity visas to follow to join the principal applicant in their case in the U.S. after this date.
