Immigration to the United States
(Diversity Visa)
Diversity Visa program (DV program) is also known as
Green Card lottery. It gives you an opportunity to immigrate to the
United States by entering the draw. Each year, the Department of
State publishes detailed
instructions for entering the DV Program.
These instructions include the dates of the registration period
during which you will be able to enter.
All entries must be submitted electronically on the Electronic
Diversity Visa (E-DV) website during
the specified registration period. No late entries or paper entries
are accepted. The law allows only one entry by or for each person
during each registration period. The Department of State uses
sophisticated technology to detect multiple entries. If you submit
more than one entry you will be disqualified.
There
is a limited period of time during which you can register for the
Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Program during each fiscal year. You
