Hello,
I have a question concerning eligibility for the 2011 Diversity Lottery. I was born in Canada, but I am also a dual citizen of Greece, which is included as an eligible country for DV 2011. I am also aware that my country of birth, Canada, is NOT an eligible country. So my question is, will I be disqualified for selecting Greece as my country of CHARGEABILITY? Is anyone familiar with the rules?

How are you connected to Greece or in what way did you obtain your Greece citizenship? Without knowing the answer to this question, it will be difficult to answer your question.
Ok people..let the hair pulling begin..lol. Congrats to FLAG and we hope to see you posting more often here. Daifa, USA,, my Aussie friends, Noa and everyone else thanks for keeping this thread alive for so long, I wish you all the best of luck.
Canada2011, I'm no expert but from reading on the forum I believe you have to use your country of birth to apply. There is a way that you can claim a country other than your birth but that has to do with where your parents were born and where they were living when you were born..It is very convoluted but you may want to have a look at it and see if you qualified that way (in case you get the NL this year). If your spouse was born in Greece it may be possible to claim Greece as your country of chargeability as well. Do some reading on the forums and see what people did. I wish you lots of luck!!!

Diafa - in saying the 2000 number - I thought there are 50,000 winners? Or is it that we just haven't seen anyone on here report a higher number yet.... or it's too early? Do they release all the 'winners' letters on the same day - or they release them over a period of time (May-July?)
Dreams -- I absolutely believe! I had a similar dream to your father -- about 5-6yrs ago... I dreamt my friend had passed away - infact it was her mother... and almost spot on to the day. I also have a lot of other dreams that have been correct.... sometimes it scares me how accurate. BUT, in saying this - I sure hope my dream last night was correct, cause this excites me!
- HOLD ON and let the ride begin!

About the KCC they do not send the 55 000 notfications letters in the same time (actually last year they were 102 000 NL, coz a half of them doesnt get the GC at the end of the lottery process....)....coz they send them between April to the end of June ....But as Flag as the CN 2XXXX (the highest number and lowest number until now LOL) which is more than 2000 I guess the KCC may have sent the letters from the CN 1 to 2000 (or more, but at least 2000 as FLAG has).... Will see which CN others people will have !!!
But U can always have faith and believe in it until June 30 after u can check on the US government website if u won or not ....
BELIEVE IN UR DREAM Im SURE IT LL BECOME TRUE!!!!!

The reason people receive the info spread out over time is due to KCC sending it out partially, so the first to be sent out have lower case# and it goes up over time. Aproxx. 100,000 will be sent out and some people just never respond due to many different reasons (some are scared to start a future in the unknown and leaving without knowing what to expect or knowing if they have a job, others don't want to leave their family, or have a great job they don't want to leave, some played for fun and weren't serious in the first place, and some realized they aren't qualified to receive the GC....and one group figures out the GC comes with a price tag, called fees....etc.)
In the last couple of years the 50,000 GC hasn't been reached according to USCIS....so don't worry too much if you get a high case#, but a low one is nicer
