DV-2027 Diversity Visa Program – Practice Form

Diversity Visa (DV) Green Card Lottery Hub

Practice the 2027 Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery entry process before you submit the real thing. Our free mock DV-2027 form walks you through every screen — including the new passport verification step proposed under the DHS/State Department rule — so you know exactly what to expect. No data is saved or transmitted; this is a training tool only, not the official entry system.

Practice the DV-2027 Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form

A free training tool from Immigration Professional Association

The Diversity Visa (DV) lottery entry form can feel intimidating the first time you fill it out — one mistake, like a mismatched name or a missing family member, can lead to disqualification. This practice tool walks you through the same fields, order, and warnings used on the real Electronic Diversity Visa (eDV) entry system (Form DS-5501), including the passport and photo requirements and the new prospective visa fee step, without collecting or submitting any real information.

How this practice tool works: Everything you type stays in your browser only. Photo "uploads" are shown as a local preview and are never sent anywhere. The payment screen is a simulation — no card is charged and no card data leaves your device. When you finish, you'll see a mock confirmation screen so you know what the real one looks like.

Need help with your actual entry, eligibility, or a denied/disqualified case? Contact Immigration Professional Association for a consultation.

4. City Where You Were Born
Enter birth city only. Do not enter district/county/province/state.
Birth City Unknown
5. Country Where You Were Born
6. Country of Eligibility for the DV Program
Your country of eligibility is normally your country of birth. It is not based on where you currently live. If you were born in a country that is not eligible for the DV program this year, you may be able to claim eligibility a different way (e.g. spouse's or parent's birth country).
7. Passport
To submit a real entry you must currently hold a valid, unexpired passport from your country of nationality, unless exempt. Please answer A or B below.
A) Passport Information
No First Name
No Middle Name
Enter a valid future expiration date (mm/dd/yyyy).
Provide a photo of the bio page and signature page (one image). This preview stays on your device only.
B) Passport Exemption
I am not required to submit passport information because I am:
I understand that if it is later determined I am not exempt from the passport requirement, I may be disqualified from the Diversity Visa program.
8. Entrant Photograph
Photos must comply with DV photo specifications (taken within the last 6 months, correct composition/background, no digital alteration) or the entry is disqualified. This is a practice upload only.
9. Mailing Address

13. What is the highest level of education you have achieved, as of today? *
You must have a minimum of a high school diploma reflecting completion of a full course of study (vocational schools/equivalency degrees are not acceptable), or be a skilled worker in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience, to qualify for a Diversity Visa.
14. What is your current marital status? *
If you are not legally separated by court order, you must include your spouse even if you plan to divorce before applying. Failure to list an eligible spouse is grounds for disqualification. If your spouse is a U.S. citizen or LPR, do not list them here.
Spouse Information
15. Number of Children
Include all biological, legally adopted, and stepchildren who are unmarried and under 21 as of the date you submit your entry — even if they don't live with you or won't apply as your derivative.

Review Your Entry

Please review carefully — on the real system you cannot edit after payment
Please "print" this page for your personal records in a real entry (use your browser's print function). This practice tool will not save anything once you close or refresh the page.

Paperwork Reduction Act (facsimile text): Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 35 minutes per response. This is a practice replica of that notice; no data collection is actually occurring.

Confidentiality Statement (facsimile text): On the real DS-5501, information is requested pursuant to INA Section 222 and is treated as confidential. This practice form does not collect, store, or transmit any information you enter.

Privacy: This practice tool is provided by Immigration Professional Association for educational purposes and is not part of, affiliated with, or endorsed by the U.S. Department of State or DHS.

On the real system: retain your confirmation number — you cannot retrieve it after closing the window.

Selectees are never notified by unsolicited email; do not submit more than one entry per person, as multiple entries are grounds for disqualification.
