Diversity Visa Lottery Program

The Diversity Visa Lottery Program, also known as the green card lottery, is a U.S. government initiative that randomly selects individuals from countries with historically low immigration rates to apply for permanent residence in the United States. Applicants submit an online entry during a designated period, and winners are chosen by a computer-generated random selection. The program aims to diversify the U.S. immigrant population by providing opportunities for people from underrepresented countries to live, work, and contribute to American society. Winners must meet specific eligibility requirements and go through additional processing before receiving their visas.
