How to Apply for the Diversity Visa Lottery Program

Eligibility Requirements for the Diversity Visa Lottery Program

The Diversity Visa Lottery Program (DV Lottery) is an annual lottery program that grants permanent residency (a Green Card) to 55,000 individuals from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. To be eligible for the DV Lottery, applicants must be from a country that is eligible for the program and must meet certain other eligibility requirements.

To enter the DV Lottery, applicants must submit an online application during the registration period, which is typically in October. The application includes questions about the applicant's personal information, education, and work experience. Applicants must also submit a digital photograph and a copy of their passport.

Benefits of the Diversity Visa Lottery Program

• It provides a path to permanent residency for individuals from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States.

If you are selected in the DV Lottery, you will be required to undergo a medical examination and submit additional documentation to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
