REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY
1. Applicant must be a native of a qualifying country.
Native of a qualifying
country: In most cases this means the country in which
the applicant was born. However, if a person was born
in an ineligible country but his/her spouse was born in
an eligible country, such persons may claim the spouse's
country of birth providing both the applicant and spouse
are issued visas and enter the U.S. simultaneously. Also,
if a person was born in an ineligible country, but neither
of his/her parents was born there or resided there at
the time of the birth, such persons may be able to claim
nativity in one of the parents' country of birth.
2. Applicant must meet either the education or training
requirement.
Education or Training: An applicant must have EITHER
a high school education or its equivalent, defined in
the U.S. 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.
If the applicant cannot meet these requirements,
he or she should NOT submit an entry to the DV program.
