DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 2320]

Bureau of Consular Affairs;

Registration for the Diversity

Immigrant (DV–97) Visa Program

ACTION: Notice of registration for the

third year of the Diversity Immigrant

Visa Program.

This public notice provides

information on the application

procedures for the 55,000 immigrant

visas to be made available in the DV

category during Fiscal Year 1997. This

notice is issued pursuant to 22 CFR

42.33 which implements sections

201(a)(3), 201(e), 203(c) and 204(a)(1)(G)

of the Immigration and Nationality Act,

as amended, (8 U.S.C. 1151, 1153, and

1154). The Department published

regulations related to this Notice in the

Federal Register on January 22, 1996.

[61 FR 1523.]

Information on the Application

Procedures for the 55,000 Immigrant

Visas To Be Made Available in the DV

Category During Fiscal Year 1997.

Sections 201(a)(3), 201(e), 203(c) and

204(a)(1)(G) of the Immigration and

Nationality Act, as amended, taken

together establish, effective for Fiscal

Year 1997 and thereafter, an annual

numerical limitation of 55,000 for

diversity immigrant visas to persons

from countries that have low rates of

immigration to the United States. The

DV–97 registration mail-in period will

last one month and will be held from

February 12, 1996 to March 12, 1996.

This will give those eligible, both in the

United States and overseas, ample time

to mail in an entry.

How Are the Visas Being Apportioned?

The visas will be apportioned among

six geographic regions. A greater

number of visas will go to those regions

that have lower immigration rates.

There is, however, a limit of seven

percent or 3,850 on the use of visas by

natives of any one foreign state. The

regions along with their Fiscal Year

1997 allotments are:

Africa: (20,623) Includes all countries

on the continent of Africa and adjacent

islands.

Asia: (7,187) Extends from Israel to all

North Pacific Islands, including

Indonesia.

Europe: (23,910) Extends from

Greenland to Russia and includes all

countries of the former Soviet Union.

North America: (8) Includes only one

qualified country this year, The

Bahamas.

Oceania: (817) Includes Australia,

New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and

all countries and islands in the South

Pacific.

South America: (2,455) Includes

Central America, Mexico and the

Caribbean countries.

Who Is Eligible?

Individuals born in countries that

have significant numbers of immigrants

to the United States are considered

‘‘high admission’’ and are not eligible

for the program. ‘‘High admission’’

countries are defined as those from

which the United States has received

50,000 or more immigrants during the

last five years in the immediate relative,

or family or employment preference

categories. For 1997, ‘‘high admission’’

countries are:

China (mainland and Taiwan),

India,

The Philippines,

Vietnam,

South Korea,

United Kingdom and dependent

territories (except Hong Kong and

Northern Ireland),

Canada,

Mexico,

Jamaica,

El Salvador,

Colombia, and

The Dominican Republic.

Natives of Hong Kong and Northern

Ireland are eligible to apply for this

year’s lottery.

What are the Requirements?

In addition to being born in a

qualifying country, applicants must

have either a high school education or

its equivalent, or within the past five

years have two years of work experience

in an occupation that requires at least

two years of training or experience.

There is no initial application fee or

special application form to enter. The

entry must be typed or clearly printed

in the English alphabet on a sheet of

plain paper, MUST BE SIGNED BY THE

APPLICANT, and should include the

following:

1. Applicant’s Full Name:

Last Name, First Name and Middle

Date of birth: Day, Month, Year

3. Name, Date and Place of Birth of

Applicant’s Spouse and Minor Children,

if any:

The spouse and child(ren) of an

applicant who is registered for DV–97

status are automatically entitled to the

same status. To obtain a visa on the

basis of this derivative status, a child

must be under 21 years of age and

unmarried. NOTE: DO NOT list parents

as they are not entitled to derivative

status.

4. Applicant’s Mailing Address, and

phone number, if possible:

The mailing address must be clear

and complete, since it will be to that

address that the notification letter for

the persons who are registered will be

sent. A telephone number is optional.

5. Applicant’s Native Country if

Different from Country of Birth

6. Applicant’s Signature is Required

on the Application

residence typed or clearly printed in the

English alphabet in the upper left-hand

period. Duplicate or multiple entries

will disqualify individuals from

registration for this program. Entries

received before or after the specified

registration dates regardless of when

they are postmarked and entries sent to

an address other than one of those

indicated below are void. All mail

received during the registration period

will be individually numbered and

entries will be selected at random by

computer regardless of time of receipt

during the mail-in period.

Using the Correct Postal ZIP Code for

Each Region.

Is It Necessary To Use an Outside

Attorney or Consultant?

The decision to hire an attorney or

consultant is entirely up to the

applicant. Procedures for entering the

Diversity Lottery can be completed

without assistance following simple

instructions. However, if applicants

prefer to use outside assistance, that is

their choice. There are many legitimate

attorneys and immigration consultants

assisting applicants for reasonable fees,

or in some cases for free. Unfortunately,

there are other persons who are charging

exorbitant rates and making unrealistic

claims. The selection of winners is

made at random and no outside service

can improve an applicant’s chances of

being chosen or guarantee an entry will

win. Any service that claims it can

improve an applicant’s odds would be

promising something it cannot deliver.

Persons who think they have been

cheated by a U.S. company or

consultant in connection with the

Diversity Visa Lottery may wish to

contact their local consumer affairs

office or the National Fraud Information

Center at 1–800–876–7060. The U.S.

Department of State has no authority to

investigate complaints against

businesses in the United States.

How Will Winners Be Notified?

Only successful registrants will be

notified by mail at the address listed on

their entry. The notifications will be

sent to the winners no later than July 1,

1996 along with instructions on how to

apply for an immigrant visa. Applicants

must meet all eligibility requirements

under U.S. law to be issued a visa.

Being selected as a winner in the DV

Lottery does not automatically

guarantee being issued a visa because

the number of applications selected is

greater than the number of immigrant

visas available. Those selected will,

therefore, need to act on their immigrant

visa applications quickly. Once the total

55,000 visas have been issued, the DV

Program for Fiscal Year 1997 will end.

A visa lottery hotline has been set up

to provide additional information on the

DV–97 Program. The 24-hour number is

(202) 663–1600. Printed information

will also be available by FAX by dialing

(202) 647–3000 (Code 1103) from a FAX

phone, or may be obtained from U.S.

Embassies and Consulates overseas.

Dated: January 17, 1996.

Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs.
