What is the Diversity Visa Lottery Program?
|
Each year, 50,000 immigrant visas are made available through a lottery to people who come from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. None of these visas are available for people who come from countries that have sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the United States in the past five years.
If you win and receive a Green Card through the program, you and your family will be able to live, work and study in the United States wherever you wish for as long as you wish.
