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. Check the official instructions for the DV year you intend to enter. A country appearing in our request form is not proof of eligibility for that year.

There are special chargeability situations involving a spouse or parent, but those need careful review before anyone assumes they qualify through another country.

Why a country may not be 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 eligible under the official instructions, 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.

Birth country check

We compare the selected country against the active eligibility list before preparing the entry.

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.

Country-specific preparation guides.

These guides are in English and cover common questions for applicants born in Central Asia. They do not replace the official eligibility instructions for your DV year.

After checking eligibility

Decide whether preparation help is right for you.

Resolve country-of-birth or chargeability questions before paying. Our private preparation packages do not establish eligibility or improve selection odds.
