Notice of Registration for the Diversity Immigrant (DV-2004) Visa Program Cite as "Posted on AILA InfoNet at Doc. No. 02082240 (Aug. 22, 2002)." This public notice provides information on how to apply for the DV 2004 Program. Entries for DV-2004 must be received at one of the Kentucky Consular Center Mailing Addresses listed in this Notice between noon on Monday, October 7, 2002 and noon on Wednesday, November 6, 2002. Entries received before or after these dates will be disqualified regardless of when they are postmarked. Entries mailed to any address other than the Kentucky Consular Center addresses listed in this notice will be disqualified. Visas are apportioned among six geographic regions with
a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration,
and no visas going to countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to
the U.S. in the past five years. Within each of the six regions, no one
country may receive more than seven percent of the available Diversity
Visas in one year. By law, the U.S. Diversity Visa Program makes available
a maximum of 55,000 each year. However, the Nicaraguan and Central American
Relief Act (NACARA) stipulates that beginning as early as DV-99 and for
as long as necessary, 5,000 of the 55,000 annually- allocated diversity
visas will be made available for use under the NACARA Program. This reduction
began in DV-1999 and remains in effect for DV-2004. Canada (Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible.) For a complete text of the new notice, please click here.
