What is the DV Lottery and How Apply for US Green Card

The DV Diversity Visa Lottery is a lottery system which allows anyone to apply for a green card. The intent of the DV lottery is to create more diversity in US immigration. Therefore, each year, US immigration authorities set aside a specific number of visas just for the program. Each year, during the period the DV lottery is available, residents of participating countries are allowed to enter the lottery in order to get a green card. A random drawing is held to determine who gets the green card. If you are chosen and you are eligible to receive a green card, you will get a green card. To understand more about this program, keep in mind:

• You need to be from an eligible country to take part. The countries which are eligible for DV lottery participation change each year. In general, countries that let in large numbers of immigrants into the US are not eligible.
