Birth country check
We compare the selected country against the active eligibility list before preparing the entry.
Country eligibility
DV Lottery eligible countries are not based on where you live.
The Diversity Visa program usually looks at country of birth. Your passport, citizenship, or current residence may not be the deciding factor.
Start with country of birth.
DV eligibility is usually tied to where you were born. This is why our application form uses a controlled country list instead of an open text field. If a country is not listed, the applicant may not be eligible for the active DV year.
There are special chargeability situations involving a spouse or parent, but those need careful review before anyone assumes they qualify through another country.
Some high-demand countries are not eligible.
Countries can be excluded when many people from that country immigrated to the United States in recent years. That is why a country with heavy interest in the Green Card Lottery may still be missing from the official eligible list.
If your birth country is not listed, do not guess. Ask for review before paying for preparation, especially if you think spouse or parent chargeability might apply.
How our review reduces country mistakes.
Chargeability questions
If a spouse or parent situation may matter, we flag it for manual review instead of treating it casually.
Name and document review
Passport or ID details help reduce spelling and identity mismatches before official submission.
Final confirmation
You approve the final summary before staff submits the official DV entry.
