Diversity Visa Program
Every year the United States makes available about 50,000 diversity visas (DVs). These visas are granted to persons who meet strict eligibility criteria. The selection process is random. The Department of State administers the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, also known as “Green Card Lottery”. The Program is designed specifically for countries with low immigration rate to the US. The world is divided geographically into seven regions, and each qualifying country could receive no more than 7% of total number of visas.
Successful DV applicants should be able to qualify for an immigrant visa and fulfill the following criteria: have at least a high school education or its equivalent; or, have at least two years of work experience in one of qualifying occupations.
Beware of fraudulent websites and services offering assistance in the DV Program application process. Note that participation in the Program is free of any charges. Entrant Status Check is the only existing notification means.
