FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT E-DV REGISTRATION-part 9
HOW LONG DO APPLICANTS WHO ARE SELECTED REMAIN ENTITLED TO APPLY FOR VISAS IN THE DV CATEGORY?Persons selected in the DV-2009 lottery are entitled to apply for visa issuance only during fiscal year 2009, from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009. Applicants must obtain the DV visa or adjust status by the end of the fiscal year. There is no carry-over of DV benefits into the next year for persons who are selected but who do not obtain visas during FY-2009. Also, spouses and children who derive status from a DV-2009 registration can only obtain visas in the DV category between October 2008 and September 2009. Applicants who apply overseas will receive an appointment letter from the Kentucky Consular Center four to six weeks before the scheduled appointment.
IF AN E-DV SELECTEE DIES, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DV CASE?The death of an individual selected in the lottery results in automatic revocation of the DV case. Any eligible spouse and/or children are no longer entitled to the DV visa, for that entry.
WHEN WILL E-DV ONLINE BE AVAILABLE?Online entry will be available during the registration period beginning at noon EDT (GMT-4) on October 3, 2007 and ending at noon EST (GMT-5) on December 2, 2007.
WILL I BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND SAVE THE E-DV ENTRY FORM TO A MICROSOFT WORD PROGRAM (OR OTHER SUITABLE PROGRAM) AND THEN FILL IT OUT?No, you will not be able to save the form into another program for completion and submission later. The E-DV Entry Form is a Web form only. This makes it more “universal” than a proprietary word processor format. Additionally, it does require that the information be filled in and submitted while on-line.
