There is no need to send an application unless you do not have a scanner or require the Usafis Organization to scan the photos for you.

What happens if I live in a different country than the one I was born in?
No problem. The automatic application process will ascertain that in such cases your application will be submitted correctly and not be disqualified.

What can I do if I was born in a country that does not appear on the list of qualifying countries?

No. All the participants in the lottery have an equal opportunity. The winners are chosen at random by computer program.

What family members should be included in the application?
You must register your spouse and all your unmarried children under the age of 21. You must register your spouse even if you are living apart.

No. The fact that you included the names of family members on the application does not obligate them to emigrate with you. They can choose whether or not to join you.

However, the addition of other family members (brothers, sisters, a child over the age of 21, etc.) will not disqualify you from the lottery, but will not grant them the right for a visa.
