Welcome to the Immigrant Visa Unit at Embassy Amman.
The U.S. Embassy announces that applications for the 2011 Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery will be accepted online beginning the evening of October 2, 2009 and continuing through November 30, 2009
You may qualify to immigrate to the United States if you are:
-
A spouse or immediate relative of an American citizen or legal permanent resident
-
The fiancé of an American citizen
-
A prospective employee of a United States company

All prospective immigrants except for DV candidates must have a petition filed on their behalf. The “petitioner” is the person or company who files the petition, and the “beneficiary” is the prospective immigrant.
All petitions may be filed in the United States. Visit www.uscis.gov for more information.
Some petitions can be filed in person at Embassy Amman. Follow this link for more information.
