Each year, the U.S. Department of State through the Diversity Lottery
Program (diversity visa lottery) makes 50,000 new immigrant visas
available to natives of countries deemed to have low rates of
immigration to the United States. The Diversity Visa Program has been
responsible for bringing persons as permanent residents or Green Card
holders to the United States who without it would not have the
opportunity to come, that is, no family of prospective employer in the
U.S. Applicants must be a native of a country that is eligible to
participate in the Diversity Visa Lottery. You may also be eligible to
apply if your parent was born in a country that is eligible to
participate. Winners of the visa lottery must apply for adjustment of
status or for immigrant visa at a U. S. consulate overseas. They must
have a high school diploma or its equivalent, or two years’ work
experience within the last five years in a job which demands two years
training. Winners must also complete the immigrant visa process within a
specific time frame.
