Note, you may still qualify even if you were born in a non-qualifying country. Applicants born in non-qualifying countries may still be able to enter the DV2025 Green Card Lotter. This option only holds considering the native country of their parents or spouse.
Supposing one was born in a non-qualifying country, but your spouse was born in a qualifying country, you can claim your spouse’s country of birth as your country of eligibility.
- You may claim charge ability to the country where your spouse was born, provided that both of you are on the selected DV2025 lottery application.
- In such cases, you will not be issued a diversity visa green card, unless your spouse also is eligible for and issued a DV green card. With this, you can enter the United States with your diversity visa green card.
- Also, note that a minor dependent child can be “charged” to its parent’s country of birth in a similar manner.
- Additionally, if you were born in a non-qualifying country, you can still be “charged” to either of your parent’s country of birth. This is possible as long as neither of your parents was a resident of the country of your birth at the time of your birth.
Additional Information
In general, people are not considered residents of a country in which they were not born or legally naturalized. One’s parents might have lived only temporarily in the ineligible country because of their jobs.
- If one’s parents were only visiting the country, studying there temporarily, or just on behalf of a company or government stationed in the country for business or professional reasons, they would not be considered residents of the country when you were born.
- If you claim chargeability to another country than your country of birth, then you must clearly indicate that information on your Green Card Lottery entry form. This must be completed under the government of Eligibility after registering successfully.
Also, keep in mind, if you list an incorrect country of eligibility you may disqualify your entire application.
