DIVERSITY VISA LOTTERY 2004 (DV-2004) RESULTS
The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky, has registered
and notified the winners of the DV-2004 diversity lottery. The
diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available 50,000/(1)
permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low
rates of immigration to the United States. Approximately 111,000
applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an
application for an immigrant visa. Since it is likely that some of the
first 50,000/(1) persons registered will not pursue their cases to
visa issuance, this larger figure should insure that all DV-2004
numbers will be used during fiscal year 2004 (October 1, 2003 until
September 30, 2004).
Applicants registered for the DV-2004 program were selected at random
from the approximately 7.3 million qualified entries received during
the one-month application period that ran from Noon on October 7, 2002
through Noon on November 6, 2002. An additional 2.9 million
applications were either received outside of the mail-in period or
were disqualified for failing to properly follow directions. The visas
have been apportioned among six geographic regions, with a maximum of
seven percent available to persons born in any single country. During
the visa interview, principal applicants must provide proof of a high
school education or its equivalent or show two years of work
experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of
training or experience within the past five years. Those selected will
need to act on their immigrant visa applications quickly. Applicants
should follow the instructions in their notification letter and must
fully complete the information requested.
Registrants living legally in the United States who wish to apply for
adjustment of their status must contact the Bureau of Citizenship and
Immigration Services for information on the requirements and
procedures. Once the total 50,000/(1) visa numbers have been used, the
program for fiscal year 2004 will end. Selected applicants who do not
receive visas by September 30, 2004, will derive no further benefit
from their DV-2004 registration. Similarly, spouses and children
accompanying or following to join DV-2004 principal applicants are
only entitled to derivative diversity visa status until September 30,
2004.
Only participants in the DV-2004 program who were selected for further
processing have been notified. Those who have not received
notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2005
lottery if they wish. The dates for the mail-in period for the DV-2005
lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2003.
1/The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NCARA) passed by
Congress in November 1997 stipulated that up to 5,000 of the 55,000
annually-allocated diversity visas be made available for use under the
NCARA program. The reduction of the limit of available visas to 50,000
began with DV-2000.
The following is the statistical breakdown by foreign-state
chargeability of those registered for the DV-2004 program:
