If you have a qualifying spouse who meets the DV requirements and is successful in the lottery, you may be able to come to the United States on a DV-2 visa. In order for you to get a diversity visa (an immigrant visa that leads to a U.S. green card), you must be listed on the primary applicant’s online State Department application. The application will need to include your name, date, and place of birth. If she neglects to include you or any children, she will not be eligible for a visa. In fact, if she does not list you and all children who are unmarried and under 21 at the time of online diversity visa application, then she would be disqualified and everyone listed in the application would be denied visas at the time of the visa or green card interview.
