SELECTION OF APPLICANTS
The computer will randomly select individuals from among all qualified entries. The selected individuals will be notified by mail between May and July 2009; the notification letters will provide further instructions, including information on fees connected with immigration to the U.S. Those selected in the random drawing are NOT notified by e-mail. Those individuals NOT selected will NOT receive any notification. U.S. embassies and consulates will not provide a list of successful entrants. Successful entrants’ spouses and unmarried children under age 21 may also apply for visas to accompany or follow-to-join the principal applicant. DV-2010 visas will be issued between October 1, 2009, and September 30, 2010.
Processing of entries and issuance of diversity visas to successful individuals and their eligible family members MUST occur by midnight on September 30, 2010. Under no circumstances can diversity visas be issued or adjustments approved after this date, nor can family members obtain diversity visas to follow-to-join the principal applicant in the U.S. after this date.
In order to receive a Diversity Visa to immigrate to the United States, those chosen in the random drawing must meet ALL eligibility requirements under U.S. law. These requirements may significantly increase the level of scrutiny required and time necessary for processing for natives of some countries listed in this notice including, but not limited to, countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism.
