Sponsor For DV Lottery Winner.

DV lottery winners must have an American sponsor to help them from becoming a public charge while the DV winner is in the USA. The sponsoring person must be a USA citizen or a Legal Permanent resident in USA. The sponsor must use the affidavit of support form and must be sworn in front of an authorized official as described in the advice. The petitioner must have enough income or financial resources in the USA. There is no filling fee for the form.

Copy of the duly filled and signed affidavit of support form may be provided by the Diversity Visa lottery winner to the Consulate officer on the day of his/her interview.

Those who don’t have a sponsor may show proof of their assets and Bank balances to show that they won’t become a public charge along with a pre arranged job in the USA. Anyway the final decision will be taken by the Consular officer.

Failure to meet this Sponsorship requirement may result in the refusal of the winner's visa.
It is better to contact your Embassy or Consulate and ask their requirements regarding this sponsorship.
