You won’t find many because Pakistan itself is not eligible - in fact I think I only have ever see one or two in the 7 or so years I’ve been browsing forums since I won DV. Happy to help with general info; most of the requirements are generic across countries.
We have seen quite a few non-KSA nationals interviewing in KSA.

i noticed the same , i know many other nationality holders who won in saudi arabia like Egyptians,Yemenis, syrians, sudanese but unfortunately no pakistanis .i have 2 questions 

 

1: i got saudi arabian birth certificate and place of birth on my passport is mentioned as saudi arabia , Is it possible that the embassy will reject the visa based on my citizenship of pakistan ?

 

2: untill now i went to pakistan for only 3 times and each time i stay there for maximum 1 month or less so that means  total 3 months , Do i have to get police certificate from pakistan also ? I already got police certificate in saudi arabia

1. No, many people have birth/eligibility countries different from their current country of nationality. The only time country of nationality will be a problem for a visa is if it falls under the travel ban, but that is not an issue for you.

 

2. So you are saying you never actually lived in Pakistan?  The instructions https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/diversity-visa-program-entry/diversity-visa-if-you-are-selected/diversity-visa-prepare-supporting-documents.html say you need a police certificate from the country of nationality if you resided there for more than 6 months - so you shouldn’t need it if you have spent a total of just 3 months there.

yes i never lived in pakistan parmanently i just went there for short stay like 1 month each time and total 3 months . and that leads to other question in ds260 previous and present address section should i mentioned some address of pakistan where i stay for these short periods or just need to mentione my saudi arabian address ?

[SusieQQQ 11,586]

If it was just a visit no need to mention. They want to know the places you actually lived.

hi sussie hope u doing fine 

 

i submitted the ds260 yesterday and im going to submit the documents to kcc today . i have a confusion in naming the documents pdf  my name is muhammad adil tanveer everyone knows me by Adil but on passport given name is muhammad adil and surname is tanveer ... should i name the document by first and last name "muhammad_tanveer_birth certificate"  or should i use complete names to name the pdf file like "muhammad_adil_tanveer_birth certificate" .

You’ll have to use your discretion on that one but I’d say match it with the DV entry
