Native of a country whose natives qualify: In most cases this means
the country in which the applicant was born. However, there are two
other ways a person may be able to qualify. First, if a person was
born in a country whose natives are ineligible but his/her spouse
was born in a country whose natives are eligible, such person can
claim the spouse's country of birth provided both the applicant and
spouse are issued visas and enter the U.S. simultaneously. Second,
if a person was born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but
neither of his/her parents was born there or resided there at the
time of his/her birth, such person may claim nativity in one of the
parents' country of birth if it is a country whose natives qualify
for the DV-2008 program.
Applicant must meet either the education or training requirement of
the DV program. Education or Training: An applicant
must have EITHER a high school education or its equivalent, defined
as successful completion of a 12-year course of elementary and secondary
education; OR two years of work experience within the past five
years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training
or experience to perform. The U.S. Department of Labor's O*Net OnLine
database will be used to determine qualifying work experience.
If the applicant cannot meet these requirements, he or she should
NOT submit an entry to the DV program.
