Department Of State Releases Diversity Visa Lottery 2004 Results

Winners of the 2004 Diversity Visa Lottery, which makes available 50,000 permanent resident visas, were announced this week by the Department of State. The Kentucky Consular Center registered and notified 111,000 winners, but not all of the applicants are expected to pursue their cases to visa issuance. Officials said the large number of applicants should assure that all the DV-2004 numbers will be used during the next fiscal year. Selected applicants who do not receive visas by September 30, 2004 will derive no further benefit from their DV-2004 registration.

Lottery applicants were selected at random from 7.3 million qualified entries received during the application period (October 7, 2002 through November 6, 2002). Another 2.9 million applications were disqualified for having missed the deadline or for failure to properly follow directions.

The visas are apportioned among six geographic regions (with a maximum of seven percent available to persons born in any single country), and the full results can be found online at the Department of State website: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2003/21864.htm
