thanks a lot for the quick response. so just to clarify i could enter the green card lottery as an irish citizen and (assuming im not successful in the lottery) at some point in the future apply for an e-3 as an australian citizen? sorry i'm just being ultra-cautious as i don't want to jeopardise my elgibility for an e-3 down the line. thanksJAJ wrote:For DV-Lottery purposes, it's based on birthplace (or spouse's birthplace). So you normally register as Irish.
E-3 is a temporary visa, so you can apply based on your (Australian) passport.
If you subsequently go for a green card, again they look at birthplace.
I believe so. And in any case, you wouldn't be entering the lottery as an Irish citizen as such, but rather as a person who was born in Ireland (not quite the same thing!).infoseeker wrote: thanks a lot for the quick response. so just to clarify i could enter the green card lottery as an irish citizen and (assuming im not successful in the lottery) at some point in the future apply for an e-3 as an australian citizen? sorry i'm just being ultra-cautious as i don't want to jeopardise my elgibility for an e-3 down the line. thanks
It doesn't really go by birthplace. It goes by citizenship.JAJ wrote:For DV-Lottery purposes, it's based on birthplace (or spouse's birthplace). So you normally register as Irish.

If you are talking about the DV Lottery, you are completely wrong.iamwhoever wrote:

I think I read somewhere that they consider residency, so if you are a citizen of a country not eligible, but you can prove you've been resident in another country for a significant period of time, you can actually apply from that country. Not 100% positive. And if it is the case, I'm sure you will have to prove it.
I agree, be very careful when listing your country of eligibility (or chargeability). It is normally your country of birth. If you list Australia as your country of eligibility you will most likely be denied an immigrant visa if you were selected in the DV lottery.JAJ wrote:If you are talking about the DV Lottery, you are completely wrong.iamwhoever wrote:

Citizenship is irrelevant.
