Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: This public notice provides information on how to apply for the DV–2010 Program. This notice is issued pursuant to 22 CFR 42.33(b)(3) which PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56879 implements sections 201(a)(3), 201(e), 203(c) and 204(a)(1)(I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1151, 1153, and 1154(a)(1)(I)). Instructions for the 2010 Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV–2010) The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is administered on an annual basis by the Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–649) that amended INA 203 provides for a class of immigrants known as ‘‘diversity immigrants.’’ Section 203(c) of the INA provides a maximum of 55,000 Diversity Visas (DV) each fiscal year to be made available to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The annual DV program makes permanent residence visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. A computergenerated random lottery drawing chooses selectees for Diversity Visas. The visas are distributed among six geographic regions with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to nationals of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. over the period of the past five years. Within each region, no one country may receive more than seven percent of the available Diversity Visas in any one year. For DV–2010, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply because the countries sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the previous five years: Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Peru, Poland, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible. For DV–2010, Russia has returned to the list of eligible countries. Kosovo has also been added to the list of eligible countries. No countries have been removed from the list of eligible countries for DV–2010. The Department of State implemented the electronic registration system beginning with DV–2005 in order to make the Diversity Visa process more efficient and secure. The Department utilizes special technology and other means to identify those who commit E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1
