Visa Program. Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for a
class of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants” from countries with historically low
rates of immigration to the United States. For Fiscal Year 2023, up to 55,000 Diversity
Visas (DVs) will be available. There is no cost to register for the DV program.
Applicants who are selected in the program (selectees) must meet simple but strict
eligibility requirements to qualify for a DV. The Department of State determines selectees
through a randomized computer drawing. The Department of State distributes diversity
visas among six geographic regions, and no single country may receive more than seven
percent of the available DVs in any one year.
For DV-2023, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply, because more
than 50,000 natives of these countries immigrated to the United States in the
previous five years:
Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (including Hong Kong SAR), Colombia,
Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Mexico,
Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern
Ireland) and its dependent territories, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
Natives of Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible.
Eligibility
Requirement #1: Natives of countries with historically low rates of immigration to the
United States may be eligible to enter.
If you are not a native of a country with historically low rates of immigration to the United
States, there are two other ways you might be able to qualify.
• Is your spouse a native of a country with historically low rates of immigration to the
United States? If yes, you can claim your spouse’s country of birth – provided that
you and your spouse are named on the selected entry, are found eligible and issued
diversity visas, and enter the United States at the same time.
2. • Are you a native of a country that does not have historically low rates of
immigration to the United States, but in which neither of your parents was born or
legally resident at the time of your birth? If yes, you may claim the country of birth
of one of your parents if it is a country whose natives are eligible for the DV-2023
program.

Requirement #2: Each DV applicant must meet the education/work experience
requirement of the DV program by having either:
• at least a high schooleducation or its equivalent, defined as successful completion
of a 12-year course of formal elementary and secondary education;
OR
• two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation that requires
at least two years of training or experience to perform. The Department of State will
use the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*Net Online database to determine qualifying
work experience.

You should not submit an entry to the DV program unless you meet both of these
requirements.
Entry period
Applicants must submit entries for the DV-2023 program electronically at
dvprogram.state.gov between 12:00 pm (noon), Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT-4),
Wednesday, October 6, 2021, and 12:00 pm (noon), Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-
5), Tuesday, November 9, 2021. Do not wait until the last week of the registration period
to enter as heavy demand may result in website delays. No late entries or paper entries
will be accepted. The law allows only one entry per person during each entry period. The
Department of State uses sophisticated technology to detect multiple
entries. Submission of more than one entry will render you ineligible for a DV.
Completing your Electronic Entry for the DV-2023 Program
Submit your Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form (E-DV Entry Form or DS-5501), online at
dvprogram.state.gov. We will not accept incomplete entries or entries sent by any other
means. There is no cost to submit the online entry form. Please use an updated browser
when submitting your application; older browsers (Internet Explorer 8, for example) will
likely encounter problems with the online DV system.
We strongly encourage you to complete the entry form yourself, without a “visa
consultant,” “visa agent,” or other facilitator who offers to help. If someone helps you, you
should be present when your entry is prepared so that you can provide the correct answers
to the questions and retain your unique confirmation number and a printout of
3. your confirmation screen. It is extremely important that you retain the printout of your
confirmation page and unique confirmation number. Unscrupulous visa facilitators have
been known to assist entrants with their entries, retain the confirmation page printout,
and then demand more money in exchange for the confirmation number. Without this
information, you will not be able to access the online system that informs you of your
entry status. Be wary if someone offers to keep this information for you. You also should
retain access to the email account listed in your E-DV entry.

After you submit a complete entry, you will see a confirmation screen containing your
name and a unique confirmation number. Print this confirmation screen for your records.
Starting May 8, 2022, you will be able to check the status of your entry by returning to
dvprogram.state.gov, clicking on Entrant Status Check, and entering your unique
confirmation number and personal information. You must use Entrant Status Check to
check if you have been selected for DV-2023 and, if selected, to view instructions on how
to proceed with your application. The U.S. government will not inform you directly.
Entrant Status Check is the sole source for instructions on how to proceed with your
application. If you are selected and submit a visa application and required documents,
you must use Entrant Status Check to check your immigrant visa interview appointment
date.

You must provide all of the following information to complete your entry. Failure to
accurately include all the required information will make you ineligible for a DV.
1. Name – last/family name, first name, middle name – exactly as it appears on your
passport (for example, if your passport shows only your first and last/family name, please
list your last/family name and then first name; do not include a middle name unless it is
included on your passport. If your passport includes a first, middle and last/family name,
please list them in the following order: last/family name, first name, middle name). If you
have only one name, it must be entered in the last/family name field.
2. Gender – male or female.
3. Birth date – day, month, year.
4. City where you were born.
5. Country where you were born – Use the name of the country currently used for the
place where you were born.

the same as your country of birth. Your country of eligibility is not related to where
you live or your nationality, if it is different from your country of birth. If you were
born in a country that is not eligible please review https://oke.io/SslsU1k
4. 7. The passport number, country of issuance, and expiration date for your valid,
unexpired international travel passport. This requirement does not apply to
Please review https://oke.io/SslsU1k
5. dependents. You must enter valid international travel passport information unless you
meet the requirements for an exemption. An exemption may apply if you are stateless,
a national of a Communist-controlled country and unable to obtain a passport from the
government of the Communist-controlled country, or the beneficiary of an individual
waiver approved by the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of State.
Claiming an exemption for which you are ineligible, or failing to enter valid passport
information, will make you ineligible for a DV. For more information on whether or not
you meet an exemption, see question 12 in the Frequently Asked Questions document.
8. Entrant photograph(s) – Recent photographs (taken within the last six months) of
yourself, your spouse, and all your derivative children. See Submitting a Digital
Photograph for compositional and technical specifications. You do not need to include
a photograph for a spouse or child who is already a U.S. citizen or a Lawful
Permanent Resident, but you will not be penalized if you do.
DV entry photographs must meet the same standards as U.S. visa photos. You will
be ineligible for a DV if the entry photographs for you and your family members do
not fully meet these specifications or have been manipulated in any way. Submitting
the same photograph that was submitted with a prior year’s entry will make you
ineligible for a DV. See Submitting a Digital Photograph (below) for more
information.

11. Email address – An email address to which you have direct access, and will continue
to have direct access through May of the next year. If you check the Entrant Status

email communication from the Department of State with details if an immigrant visa
interview becomes available. The Department of State will never send you an
email telling you that you have been selected for the DV program.

12. Highest level of education you have achieved, as of today: (1) Primary schoolonly,
(2) Some high school, no diploma, (3) High schooldiploma, (4) Vocational school,
(5) Some university courses, (6) University degree, (7) Some graduate-level courses,
(8) Master’s degree, (9) Some doctoral-level courses, or (10) Doctorate. See the
Frequently Asked Questions for more information about educational requirements.
13. Current marital status: (1) unmarried, (2) married and my spouse is NOT a U.S.
citizen or U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR), (3) married and my spouse IS a
6. U.S. citizen or U.S. LPR, (4) divorced, (5) widowed, or (6) legally separated. Enter the
name, date of birth, gender, city/town of birth, and country of birth of your spouse, and
a photograph of your spouse meeting the same technical specifications as your photo.
Failure to list your eligible spouse or, listing someone who is not your spouse, will
make you ineligible as the DV principal applicant and your spouse and children
ineligible as DV derivative applicants. You must list your spouse even if you currently
are separated from him/her, unless you are legally separated. Legal separation is an
arrangement when a couple remain married but live apart, following a court order. If
you and your spouse are legally separated, your spouse will not be able to immigrate
with you through the DV program. You will not be penalized if you choose to enter
the name of a spouse from whom you are legally separated. If you are not legally
separated by a court order, you must include your spouse even if you plan to be
divorced before you apply for the Diversity Visa or your spouse does not intend to
immigrate.
If your spouse is a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident, do not list him/her in your
entry. A spouse who is already a U.S. citizen or LPR will not require or be issued a visa.
Therefore, if you select “married and my spouse IS a U.S. citizen or U.S. LPR” on your
entry, you will not be prompted to include further information on your spouse.

14. Number of children – List the name, date of birth, gender, city/town of birth, and
country of birth for all living, unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of
whether they are living with you or intend to accompany or follow to join you, should
you immigrate to the United States. Submit individual photographs of each of your
children using the same technical specifications as your own photograph.
Be sure to include:
• all living natural children;
• all living children legally adopted by you; and,
• all living step-children who are unmarried and under the age of 21 on the date
of your electronic entry, 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.
Married children and children who are already aged 21 or older when you submit
your entry are not eligible for the DV program. However, the Child Status Protection
Act protects children from “aging out” in certain circumstances: if you submit your
DV entry before your unmarried child turns 21, and the child turns 21 before visa
issuance, it is possible that he or she may be treated as though he or she were
under 21 for visa processing purposes.
A child who is already a U.S. citizen or LPR when you submit your DV entry will not
require or be issued a Diversity Visa; you will not be penalized for either including
or omitting such family members from your entry.
Failure to list all children who are eligible or listing someone who is not your child will
make you ineligible for a DV, and your spouse and children will also be ineligible as
7. Diversity Visa derivative applicants.

Selection of Entries
Based on the allocations of available visas in each region and country, the Department of
State will randomly select individuals by computer from among qualified entries. All DV-
2023 entrants must go to the Entrant Status Check using the unique confirmation number
saved from their DV-2023 online entry registration to find out whether their entry has
been selected in the DV program. Entrant Status Check will be available on the E-DV
website at dvprogram.state.gov from May 8, 2022, through at least September 30,
2023.
If your entry is selected, you will be directed to a confirmation page providing further
instructions, including information about fees connected with immigration to the United
States. Entrant Status Check will be the ONLY means by which the Department of State
notifies selectees of their selection for DV-2023. The Department of State will not mail
notification letters or notify selectees by email. U.S. embassies and consulates will not
provide a list of selectees. Individuals who have not been selected also ONLY will be
notified through Entrant Status Check. You are strongly encouraged to access Entrant
Status Check yourself. Do not rely on someone else to check and inform you.
In order to immigrate, DV selectees must be admissible to the United States. The DS-
260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application, electronically, and the
consular officer, in person, will ask you questions about your eligibility to immigrate
under U.S. law. These questions include criminal and security-related topics.
All selectees, including family members, must be issued visas by September 30, 2023.
Under no circumstances can the Department of State issue DVs nor can USCIS
approve adjustments after this date, nor can family members obtain DVs to follow-to-
join the principal applicant in the United States after this date.

Taking photos of your baby or toddler
When taking a photo of your baby or toddler, no other person should be in the
photo, and your child should be looking at the camera with his or her eyes open.
Tip 1: Lay your baby on his or her back on a plain white or off-white sheet. This
will ensure your baby's head is supported and provide a plain background
for the photo. Make certain there are no shadows on your baby's face,
especially if you take a picture from above with the baby lying down.
Tip 2: Cover a car seat with a plain white or off-white sheet and take a picture
of your child in the car seat. This will also ensure your baby’s head is
supported.
