In addition, even if you were born in one of these countries, you may apply if your spouse was not born in any of these countries (if your spouse will apply for a visa with you) OR both of your parents were not born in any of these countries. In addition to place of birth, applicants for a diversity visa must also possess EITHER a high school diploma (in the U.S. or a foreign country) OR two years of work experience within the past 5 years in an occupation requiring at least 2 years of training or experience.
