The DS-5501 collection is necessary because the Department requires certain information to verify eligibility of aliens who enter the Diversity Visa program. Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) Section 203(c) [8 U.S.C. § 1153(c)], provides for a class of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants” from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. Pursuant to INA section 204(a)(1)(I) [8 U.S.C. § 1154(a)(1)(I)], all aliens seeking diversity immigrant status must submit a petition (the DS-5501) but may apply for a diversity visa only if randomly selected in the diversity visa lottery and only during the specific fiscal year for which they were selected. The Secretary of State is authorized to establish, through regulations, the information that must be included in the petition and any documentary evidence required to support the petition. Accordingly, 22 CFR § 42.33(b) outlines the specific information that must be included in the petition as well as documentation required to support the petition.

To calculate the hour cost burden, the Department analyzed wage data from the International Labor Organization for countries eligible to participate in the DV Program for DV-2025. The analysis used average hourly wage when available and minimum hourly wage otherwise. All wages were then converted to U.S. dollars and averaged for a total estimated hourly wage of $4.56 per hour across all the DV-eligible countries.
