The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, known as the Diversity Lottery or Green Card Lottery, aims to diversify the U.S. immigrant population. Established by the Immigration Act of 1990, it offers 55,000 immigrant visas annually to individuals from countries with low immigration rates to the U.S.

The application process for the Diversity Lottery is straightforward and free. Each year, typically in October, applicants can submit their entries electronically through the official U.S. Department of State website. The entry form requires personal information, such as name, date of birth, country of birth, and educational background. Applicants must also provide a recent photograph that meets specific requirements. It is essential to follow the instructions carefully since any errors or omissions can result in disqualification.

To be eligible, applicants must meet certain criteria. First, they must be natives of a qualifying country. The list of eligible countries can change yearly, depending on the immigration rates to the U.S. over the past five years. Second, applicants must have at least a high school education or its equivalent or possess two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience.

Once the application period closes, the Department of State conducts a random drawing from all qualified entries to select the winners. Selected applicants are notified through the Entrant Status Check on the official Diversity Visa website, usually starting in May of the following year. Therefore, it is crucial for applicants to retain their confirmation number received at the time of entry, as it is the only way to check their status.

You can find additional information on the official website.
