Why do natives of certain countries not qualify for the DV program?
DVs are intended to provide an immigration opportunity for persons who are not from “high admission”
countries. U.S.
law defines “high admission countries” as those from which a total of 50,000 persons in the
Family-Sponsored and Employment-Based visa categories immigrated to the United States during the previous
five years. Each year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) counts the family and employment
immigrant admission and adjustment of status numbers for the previous five years to identify the countries
that are considered “high admission” and whose natives will therefore be ineligible for the annual
Diversity
Visa program. Since USCIS makes this calculation annually, the list of countries whose natives are eligible or
not eligible may change from one year to the next.
