Example, if an applicant was born in a none qualifying country, but the applicants spouse was born in a qualifying country, the applicant can claim the spouse’s country of birth as their country of eligibility. I.e. an applicant may claim charge-ability to the country where the applicants spouse was born, provided that both the applicant and the applicants spouse are on the selected green card lottery application. In such cases, the applicant will not be issued a diversity visa green card unless the applicants spouse is also eligible for and issued a diversity visa green card, and both the applicant and the applicants spouse must enter the United States together with the diversity visa green cards.
