Eligibility for Green Card lottery Program
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.
• 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 school education 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

You should not submit an entry to the DV program unless you meet both of these
requirements.
