    Default DV2010 Nativity

    I am DV Selectee for 2010, I was born in Kuwait while my parents were on work permit. Our origin is from Jordan. However, my parents were born outside Jordan.
    We all have the Jordanian nationality. In my application, I have stated that my nativity/chargeability country is Jordan.

    I have recently known that my nativity should be my country of birth. I have contacted KCC and they only sent me the standard DV instructions document.

    Both countries, Kuwait and Jordan are eligible for DV and in the same region (Asia).

    I would like to know if this needs to be corrected before my interview at the embassy.

    Furthermore, in 2003, I was refused visit visa by the embassy for not satisfying the officer that I will leave USA at the end of the period authorized to stay. Would this affect my situation?

    I would appreciate your professional help.

    Thank you,

    Default Re: DV2010 Nativity

    I have found the below publication:
    www.state.gov/documents/organization/87838.pdf

    Page 3:
    "If the entrant chooses the wrong country of chargeability at the time of the
    initial entry, the error will generally be disqualifying. However, if a DV
    applicant chooses a country of chargeability during DV registration that is
    within the same geographic region (one of the six) as the correct country of
    chargeability, and you determine that the applicant gained no benefit from
    his error, you may continue processing the application."

    In order to prove no gained benefit from this error: I will need to know the total number of applications for Kuwait and Jordan to calculate the winning ratio. The number of selectees for each is 70, 143 respectively.

    How can I obtain such info?
