ISTRUCTIONS FOR THE
2008 DIVERSITY IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAM (DV-2008)
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 to
provide for a new class of immigrants known as "diversity
immigrants" (DV immigrants). The Act makes available 50,000
permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low
rates of immigration to the United States.
The annual DV program makes permanent
residence visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict,
eligibility requirements. Applicants for Diversity Visas are chosen
by a computer-generated random lottery drawing. 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 citizens of countries sending more than 50,000
immigrants to the U.S. in 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.
For DV-2007, natives of the following
countries1 are not eligible
to apply because they sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to
the U.S. in the previous five years:
CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born),
COLOMBIA,
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, EL SALVADOR, HAITI, INDIA,
JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, SOUTH KOREA
UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent
territories, and VIETNAM. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR,
Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible.
1 The term "country" in this
notice includes countries, economies and other jurisdictions
explicitly listed below.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY
Native of a country whose
natives qualify: In most cases this means the country in
which the applicant was born. However, if a person was born in a
country whose natives are ineligible but his/her spouse was born
in a country whose natives are eligible, such person can claim
the spouse’s country of birth providing both the applicant and
spouse are issued visas and enter the U.S. simultaneously. If a
person was born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but
neither of his/her parents was born there or resided
there at the time of the birth, such person may be able to claim
nativity in one of the parents’ country of birth.
- Applicant must meet either the
education or training requirement of the DV program.
Education or Training: An
applicant 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: http://online.onetcenter.org.
Applicants will also
find a link to a Labor Department list of qualifying occupations
at the Consular Affairs website: http://travel.state.gov
PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING AN
ENTRY TO DV-2008
- All
entries by an applicant will be disqualified if more than ONE
entry for the applicant is received, regardless of who submitted
the entry.
- The entry
will be disqualified if the entry is not PERSONALLY SIGNED by the
applicant in his/her native alphabet, as it would
appear on his/her passport or other official or contractual
obligations. Neither an initialed signature nor block printing of
the applicant’s name will be accepted and will result in the
disqualification of the entry. If an applicant chooses to sign
his/her name in the Roman alphabet and that is not their native
alphabet, he/she must also sign in his/her native alphabet.
- The entry
will be disqualified if all required photos are not attached.
Recent photographs of the applicant and his/her spouse and
each child, including all natural children as well as all
legally-adopted and stepchildren, excepting a child who is already
a U.S. citizen or a Legal Permanent Resident, even if a child no
longer resides with the applicant, must be attached to the entry.
The name and date of birth of each family member must be printed
on the back of their photo. Group or family photos will not be
accepted; there must be a separate photo for each family member.
Photos should be attached with tape and not stapled to the entry.
If there is insufficient room on the front of the entry,
applicants may tape photos to the back of the page.
If photos
do not conform to the following specifications, the entry will be
disqualified:
- SIZE: Between 1 ½ by 1 ½ and 2 by
2 inches (37-50 mm) square, with the applicant’s, spouse's, or
child's name and date of birth printed on the back.
- Applicant, spouse, or child must
be directly facing the camera; the head of the person being
photographed should not be tilted up, down or to the side, and
should cover about 50% of the area of the photo.
- The photo should be taken with the
person being photographed in front of a neutral, light-colored
background. Photos taken with very dark or patterned, busy
backgrounds will not be accepted.
- Photos in which the face of the
person being photographed is not in focus will not be accepted.
- Photos in which the person being
photographed is wearing sunglasses or other paraphernalia which
detracts from the face will not be accepted.
- Photos of applicants wearing head
coverings or hats are only acceptable due to religious beliefs,
and even then, may not obscure any portion of the face of the
applicant. Photos of applicants with tribal or other headgear not
specifically religious in nature is not acceptable. Photos of
military, airline or other personnel wearing hats will not be
accepted.
- Photos may be either color or
black and white.
THE ENTRY
The following information must be
provided.
Failure to provide all of this information
will disqualify the applicant’s entry.
1. FULL NAME, with the last
(surname/family) name underlined
EXAMPLES: Public,
Sara Jane (or) Lopez, Juan Antonio
2. DATE AND PLACE OF BIRTH
Date: Day, Month, Year, EXAMPLE: 15
November 1961
Place: City/Town, District/County/Province, Country
EXAMPLE: Munich, Bavaria, Germany
The name of the country should be that which is currently in use
for the place where the applicant was born (Slovenia, rather than
Yugoslavia; Kazakhstan rather than Soviet Union, for example).
3. THE APPLICANT’S NATIVE COUNTRY
IF DIFFERENT FROM COUNTRY OF BIRTH If the applicant is claiming
nativity in a country other than his/her place of birth, this must
be clearly indicated on the entry. This information must match with
what is put on the upper left corner of the entry envelope. (See
"MAILING THE ENTRY.") If an applicant is claiming nativity
through spouse or parent, please indicate this on the entry. (See
"REQUIREMENTS" section for more information on this item.)
4. NAME, DATE AND PLACE OF BIRTH
OF THE APPLICANT’S SPOUSE AND ALL NATURAL CHILDREN, AS WELL AS ALL
LEGALLY-ADOPTED AND STEPCHILDREN, WHO ARE UNMARRIED AND UNDER THE
AGE OF 21 YEARS, EXCEPTING THOSE CHILDREN WHO ARE ALREADY U.S.
CITIZENS OR LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENTS, EVEN IF YOU ARE NO LONGER
LEGALLY MARRIED TO THE CHILD’S PARENT, AND EVEN IF THE CHILD DOES
NOT CURRENTLY RESIDE WITH YOU AND/OR WILL NOT IMMIGRATE WITH YOU.
Note that married children and children 21 years or older will not
qualify for the Diversity Visa. Failure to list all children will
result in your disqualification for the visa.
(See question 11 on the list of Frequently Asked
Questions.)
5. FULL MAILING ADDRESS
This must be clear and complete, because any future mailings will be
sent there. A telephone number and e-mail address is optional, but
useful.
6. PHOTOGRAPH. Attach
recent photographs of the applicant, the applicant’s spouse, and all
children. Print the name and date of birth of each family member on
the back of each photograph. Failure to
submit required photos for all family members will result in
disqualification.
See the information on photo requirements.
7. SIGNATURE. The
applicant must personally sign the entry in his/her native alphabet,
as it would appear on his or her passport or other official or
contractual obligations. Failure to
personally sign the entry will disqualify the application.
See more information on the signature
requirement.
SELECTION OF APPLICANTS
Applicants will be selected at
random by computer from among all qualified entries. Those
selected will be notified by mail and will
be provided further instructions, including information on fees
connected with immigration to the U.S. Persons not selected will
NOT receive any notification. U.S. embassies and consulates will
not be able to provide a list of successful applicants. Spouses and
unmarried children of successful applicants under age 21 may also
apply for visas to accompany or follow to join the principal
applicant. DV-2008visas will be issued between October 1, 2003 and
September 30, 2007.
In order to actually receive a
visa, applicants selected in the random drawing must meet
ALL eligibility requirements under U.S.
law, including any applicable special processing requirements
established in response to the events of September 11, 2001. These
requirements may significantly increase the level of scrutiny
required and time necessary for processing of applications for
natives of some countries listed in this notice, including, but not
limited to, countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism.
Processing of entries and issuance of
diversity visas to successful applicants and their eligible family
members MUST occur by midnight on September 30, 2007. 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 applicant in the U.S. after this date.
Important Notice
NO fee is
charged to enter the annual DV program by the US Government.
The U.S. Government employs no outside
consultants or private mail services to operate the DV program. Any
intermediaries or others who offer assistance to prepare DV casework
for applicants do so without the authority or consent of the U.S.
Government.
Use of any outside intermediary or assistance to prepare
or check a DV entry is entirely at the applicant's discretion.
A qualified
entry received directly from an applicant has an equal chance of
being selected by the computer at the Kentucky Consular Center as
does an entry received through a paid intermediary who completes the
entry for the applicant. There is no advantage to mailing early, or
mailing from any particular place. Every entry received during the
mail-in period will have an equal random chance of being selected
within its region. However, receipt of more than one entry per
person will disqualify the person from registration, regardless of
the source of that entry.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS ABOUT DV REGISTRATION
1. WHAT DOES THE TERM
"NATIVE" MEAN? ARE THERE ANY SITUATIONS IN WHICH
PERSONS WHO WERE NOT BORN IN A QUALIFYING COUNTRY MAY APPLY?
"Native" ordinarily means
someone born in a particular country, regardless of the
individual's current country of residence or nationality. But
"native" can also mean someone who is entitled to be "charged" to
a country other than the one in which he/she was born under the
provisions of Section 202(b) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act.
For example, if a principal
applicant was born in a country that is not eligible for this
year’s DV program, he/she may claim "chargeability" to the country
where his/her derivative spouse was born, but he/she will not be
issued a DV-1 unless the spouse is also eligible for and issued a
DV-2, and both must enter the U.S. together on the DVs. In a
similar manner, a minor dependent child can be "charged" to a
parent’s country of birth.
Finally, any applicant born in a
country ineligible for this year’s DV program can be "charged" to
the country of birth of either parent as long as neither parent
was a resident of the ineligible country at the time of the
applicant’s birth. In general, people are not considered residents
of a country in which they were not born or legally naturalized if
they are only visiting the country temporarily or stationed in the
country for business or professional reasons on behalf of a
company or government.
An applicant who claims alternate
chargeability must include
information to that effect on the application for registration (See
number 3 of the application information items in this Visa
Bulletin.), and must show the native country claimed on
the upper left hand corner of the envelope in which the
registration request is mailed, or the entry will be disqualified.
2. ARE THERE ANY CHANGES OR
NEW REQUIREMENTS IN THE APPLICATION PROCEDURES FOR THIS DIVERSITY
VISA REGISTRATION?
The information
required on the entry and on the envelope
in which it is sent is specified in detail earlier in this
Visa Bulletin. Photos must conform to the
specifications.
Qualifying work experience will be defined by the Department of
Labor's O*Net OnLine database, and no longer by the Dictionary
of Occupational Titles.
3. ARE SIGNATURES AND
PHOTOGRAPHS REQUIRED FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER, OR ONLY FOR THE
PRINCIPAL APPLICANT?
No. Since applications must be
submitted digitally the signatures are not required. Recent and individual
photos of the applicant, his/her spouse and all children are
required. Family or group photos are not accepted.
Check the information on the signature
and photo requirements in this bulletin.
4. WHY DO NATIVES OF
CERTAIN COUNTRIES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE
DIVERSITY PROGRAM?
Diversity visas are intended to
provide an immigration opportunity for persons from countries
other than the countries which send large numbers of immigrants to
the U.S. The law states that no diversity visas shall be provided
for natives of "high admission" countries. These countries are
those from which a total of 50,000 persons in the Family-Sponsored
and Employment-Based visa categories immigrated to the United
States during the previous five years. Each year, the Bureau of
Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland
Security (BCIS) adds the family and employment immigrant admission
figures for the previous five years in order to identify the
countries whose natives must be excluded from the annual diversity
lottery. Because there is a separate determination made before
each annual DV entry period, the list of countries whose natives
do not qualify may change from one year to the next.
5. WHAT IS THE NUMERICAL
LIMIT FOR DV-2008?
By law, the U.S. diversity
immigration program makes available a maximum of 55,000 permanent
residence visas each year to eligible persons. However, the
Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NCARA) passed by
Congress in November 1997 stipulates that beginning as early as
DV-99, and for as long as necessary, 5,000 of the 55,000
annually-allocated diversity visas will be made available for use
under the NCARA program. The actual reduction of the limit to
50,000 began with DV-2000 and remains in effect for the DV-2008program.
6. WHAT ARE THE REGIONAL
DIVERSITY VISA (DV) LIMITS FOR DV-2008?
The Bureau of Citizenship and
Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security (BCIS)
determines the DV regional limits for each year according to a
formula specified in Section 203(c) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA). Once the BCIS has completed the
calculations, the regional visa limits will be announced.
7. WHEN WILL ENTRIES FOR THE
DV-2008PROGRAM BE ACCEPTED?
The month-long DV entry period
begins each fall at noon on the first Monday in October and lasts
for 30 days. Each year millions apply for the program during the
mail-in registration period. The massive volume of entries creates
an enormous amount of work in selecting and processing successful
applicants. Holding the entry period in the fall will ensure
successful applicants are notified in a timely manner, and gives
both them and our embassies and consulates more time to prepare
and complete entries for visa issuance.
8. MAY PERSONS WHO ARE IN
THE U.S. APPLY FOR THE PROGRAM?
Yes, an applicant may be in the
U.S. or in another country, and the entry may be mailed from the
U.S. or from abroad.
9. IS EACH APPLICANT
LIMITED TO ONLY ONE ENTRY DURING THE ANNUAL DV REGISTRATION PERIOD?
Yes, the law allows only one
entry by or for each person during each registration period;
applicants for whom more than one entry
is submitted will be disqualified. Applicants may be
disqualified at time of selection as a successful entrant, or at
the time of the visa interview or at any time during the process
if more than one entry is detected. However, applicants may apply
for the program each year during the regular one-month
registration period.
10. MAY A HUSBAND AND A
WIFE EACH SUBMIT A SEPARATE ENTRY?
Yes, a husband and a wife may each
submit one entry. If either were selected, the other would be
entitled to derivative status. Note: Husbands and wives may not
sign for each other. Each applicant
must sign his or her own entry.
11. WHAT FAMILY MEMBERS MUST I
INCLUDE ON MY DV ENTRY?
On your entry you must list your
spouse, that is husband or wife,
and all unmarried children under 21 years
of age, with the exception of a child who is already a U.S.
citizen or a Legal Permanent Resident.
You must list your spouse even if you are currently
separated from him/her. However, if you are legally divorced, you
do not need to list your former spouse. For customary marriages,
the important date is the date of the original marriage ceremony,
not the date on which the
marriage is registered. You must list ALL
your children who are unmarried and under the age of 21 years,
whether they are your natural children, your spouse’s
children by a previous marriage, or children you have formally
adopted in accordance with the laws of your country, unless a
child is already a U.S. citizen or Legal Permanent Resident.
List all children even if they no longer
reside with you.
The fact that you have listed
family members on your entry does not mean that they later must
travel with you. They may choose to remain behind. However, if you
include an eligible dependent on your visa application forms that
you failed to include on your original entry, your case will be
disqualified. (This only applies to persons who were dependents at
the time the original application was submitted, not those
acquired at a later date.) Your spouse may still submit a separate
entry, even though he or she is listed on your entry, as long as
both entries include details on all dependents in your family. See
question 10 above.
12. MUST EACH APPLICANT
SUBMIT HIS/HER OWN ENTRY, OR MAY SOMEONE ACT ON BEHALF OF AN
APPLICANT?
Applicants may prepare and submit
their own entries, or have someone submit the entry for them.
Regardless of whether an entry is submitted by the applicant
directly, or assistance is provided by an attorney, friend,
relative, etc., only one entry may be
submitted in the name of each person. The applicant's original
signature is required on the entry, regardless whether it is
prepared and submitted by the applicant or by someone else.
If the applicant does not personally sign
the entry in his/her native alphabet, the entry will be
disqualified. If the entry is selected, the
notification letter will be sent only
to the mailing address provided on the entry.
13. WHAT ARE THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCATION OR WORK EXPERIENCE?
The law and regulations require
that every applicant must have at least a high school education or
its equivalent or, within the
past five years, have two years of work experience in an
occupation requiring at least two years training or experience. A
"high school education or equivalent" is defined as successful
completion of a twelve-year course of elementary and secondary
education in the United States or successful completion in another
country of a formal course of elementary and secondary education
comparable to a high school education in the United States.
Documentary proof of education or work experience should
not be submitted with the lottery
entry, but must be presented to the consular officer at the time
of the visa interview. To
determine eligibility based on work experience, definitions from
the Department of Labor’s O*Net OnLine database will be used:
http://online.onetcenter.org.
14. HOW WILL SUCCESSFUL
ENTRANTS BE SELECTED?
At the Kentucky Consular Center,
all mail received at each of the six
geographic regional addresses will be individually numbered.
After the end of the application period, a computer will randomly
select entries from among all the mail received for each
geographic region. Within each region, the first letter randomly
selected will be the first case registered, the second letter
selected the second registration, etc. All entries received during
the mail-in period will have an equal chance of being selected
within each region. When an entry has been selected, the applicant
will be sent a notification letter by the Kentucky Consular
Center, which will provide visa application instructions. The
Kentucky Consular Center will continue to process the case until
those who are selected are instructed to appear for visa
interviews at a U.S. consular office, or until those able to do so
apply at an BCIS office in the United States for change of status.
15. MAY WINNING APPLICANTS
ADJUST THEIR STATUS WITH THE BCIS?
Yes, provided they are otherwise
eligible to adjust status under the terms of Section 245 of the
INA, selected applicants who are physically present in the United
States may apply to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration
Services in the Department of Homeland Security (BCIS) for
adjustment of status to permanent resident.
Applicants must ensure that BCIS can
COMPLETE ACTION on their cases, including processing of any
overseas derivatives, before September 30, 2008, since on that
date registrations for the DV-2008program expire. No visa numbers
for the DV-2008program will be available after midnight on
September 30, 2008under any circumstances.
16. WILL APPLICANTS WHO ARE NOT
ELECTED BE INFORMED?
No, applicants who are not selected
will receive no response to their entry. Only those who are
selected will be informed. All notification letters are sent
within about nine months of the end of the application period to
the address indicated on the entry. Anyone who does NOT receive a
letter will know that his/her application has not been selected.
17. HOW MANY APPLICANTS
WILL BE SELECTED?
There are 50,000 DV visas available
for DV-2008, but more than that number of individuals will be
selected. Because it is likely that some of the first 50,000
persons who are selected will not pursue their cases to visa
issuance, more than 50,000 entries will be selected by the
Kentucky Consular Center to ensure that all of the available DV
visas are issued. However, this also means that there will not be
a sufficient number of visas for all those who are initially
selected. All applicants who are selected will be informed
promptly of their place on the list. Interviews with those
selected will begin in early October 2003. The Kentucky Consular
Center will send appointment letters to selected applicants four
to six weeks before the scheduled interviews with U.S. consular
officers at overseas posts. Each month visas will be issued, visa
number availability permitting, to those applicants who are ready
for issuance during that month. Once all of the 50,000 DV visas
have been issued, the program for the year will end. In principle,
visa numbers could be finished before September 2008. Selected
applicants who wish to receive visas must be prepared to act
promptly on their cases. Random selection
by the Kentucky Consular Center computer does not automatically
guarantee that you will receive a visa.
18. IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE
FOR APPLICANTS TO APPLY FOR THE DV PROGRAM?
There is no minimum age to apply
for the program, but the requirement of a high school education or
work experience for each principal applicant at the time of
application will effectively disqualify most persons who are under
age 18.
19. ARE THERE ANY FEES FOR
THE DV PROGRAM?
There is
no fee for submitting an entry,
and no fee should be included
with the entry sent to the mailing addresses indicated above.
A special DV case processing fee will be payable later by persons
whose entries are actually selected and processed at an U.S.
consular section for this year’s program. DV applicants, like
other immigrant visa applicants, must also pay the regular visa
fees at the time of visa issuance. Details of required fees will
be included with the instructions sent by the Kentucky Consular
Center to applicants who are selected.
20. ARE DV APPLICANTS
SPECIALLY ENTITLED TO APPLY FOR A WAIVER OF ANY OF THE GROUNDS OF
VISA INELIGIBILITY?
No. Applicants are subject to all
grounds of ineligibility for immigrant visas specified in the
Immigration and Nationality Act. There are no special provisions
for the waiver of any ground of visa ineligibility other than
those ordinarily provided in the Act.
21. MAY PERSONS WHO ARE
ALREADY REGISTERED FOR AN IMMIGRANT VISA IN ANOTHER CATEGORY APPLY
FOR THE DV PROGRAM?
Yes, such persons may apply for the
DV program.
22. HOW LONG DO APPLICANTS
WHO ARE SELECTED REMAIN ENTITLED TO APPLY FOR VISAS IN THE DV
CATEGORY?
Persons selected in the DV-2008
lottery are entitled to apply for visa issuance
only during fiscal year 2007,
i.e., from October 2003 through September 2007.
Applicants must obtain the DV visa or adjust
status by the end of the Fiscal Year (September 30, 2008).
There is no carry-over of DV benefits into the next year for
persons who are selected but who do not obtain visas during
FY-2007. Also, spouses and children who derive status from a
DV-2008registration can only obtain visas in the DV category
between October 2003 and September 2007. Applicants who apply
overseas will receive an appointment letter from the Kentucky
Consular Center four to six weeks before the scheduled
appointment.
LIST OF COUNTRIES BY REGION
WHOSE NATIVES QUALIFY
The lists below show the countries
whose natives are QUALIFIED within each geographic region for this
diversity program. The determination of countries within each
region is based on information provided by the Geographer of the
Department of State. The countries whose natives do not qualify
for the DV-2008program were identified by the Bureau of
Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland
Security according to the formula in Section 203(c) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act.
Dependent areas overseas are included within the region of the
governing country.
The countries whose natives do NOT qualify for this diversity
program (because they are the principal source countries of
Family-Sponsored and Employment-Based immigration, or "high
admission" countries) are noted in parentheses after the
respective regional lists.
