Married children and children who are

for the DV lottery 2017 program. However, the Child Status Protection
Act protects children from
“aging out” in certain circumstances. If
your DV entry is made before your unmarried child turns 21, and the
child turns 21 before visa issuance, he/she may be treated as though
he/she were fewer than 21 for visa-processing purposes.
A child who is already a U.S. citizen or
LPR is not eligible for a Diversity Visa; you will not be penalized for
either including or omitting such family members from your entry.
Failure to list all children who are
eligible will result in disqualification of the principal applicant and
refusal of all visa applications in the case at the time of the visa
interview.
