IMMIGRATION
During a two-month window, immigrants can apply for permanent residency on the Web.
The State Department announced it is accepting applications for the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program via the Internet until Dec. 2.

Those who meet all the legal requirements and are lucky enough to be selected at random will be among the 50,000 people who will benefit by the permanent-residency lottery offered every year by Washington to citizens of countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.

I'm looking at the application and correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that the Dominican Republic is not one of the eligible countries for this lotto.

The explanation of country of eligibility isn't working.

Have a look at the application Electronic Diversity

Citizens of the Dominican Republic........

.........have not been eligible for this lottery for some time..........

From what I've read there are a few countries (ie Dominican Republic) that are not eligible due to the number of immigrants in the US and their Visa violation rate.....

.....according to the website.....they still are not eligible.

Yes but check line 6 "Country of Eligibility for the DV Program" the DR isn't there.

You said in your post;

So since it now take three years to immigrate to the US from the DR I wouldn't say that was a low rate of immigrates.

We don't want to give Dominican people false hope since this is a DR related site. ;)
