US Diversity Visa
2009 Lottery Begins
Today
For Costa Ricans wanting
to live and work in the
United States, today is
the day, when the
Diversity Visa (DV) 2009
Lottery begins at noon
and ends on December 2,
2007.
The Entry Form can only
be submitted online by
visiting the U.S.
Department of State
website.
There is no cost and not
need for an intermediary
for process and complete
instructions for filling
out the form are
included on the website.
The U.S. Embassy in
Costa Rica has made it
clear that it has no
relation to the process
and that all those
interested must do so
online and will not
accept written
applications.
Each year, 50,000
immigrant visas are made
available through a
lottery to people who
come from countries with
low rates of immigration
to the United States.
None of these visas are
available for people who
come from countries that
have sent more than
50,000 immigrants to the
United States in the
past five years.
Costa Rica is one of the
countries whose
residents are eligible
under the DV2009
lottery.
