The Diversity Visa LotteryUnder the Immigration Act of 1990, the Diversity Visa program makes available 50,000 permanent resident visas to people with the equivalent of a high school education or two or more years of work experience or training in an appropriate trade, who were born in countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
From millions of qualifying applicants, the State Department randomly selects approximately 90,000 lottery “winners,” who may then apply for visas at the consular offices nearest them. At these offices, about 45 percent of the winners fail to meet the minimum educational or work experience or training requirements, fail to supply the required medical information, or fail to complete the additional required paperwork either completely or on time. For the rest of the fiscal year after the lottery takes place, the qualifying winners are issued Diversity Visas on a first-come, first-serve basis until the requisite 50,000 are issued.
There is no fee to enter the DV lottery. Starting in 2003, to enter the DV lottery, applicants must apply electronically on an online application form by providing their basic biographical information, including a digital passport photo, through a dedicated State Department Web site . The Web site is open only during a specific time period (this year, from November 1 through December 30 each year). In previous years, applicants supplied the requested information via mail to the State Department’s Consular Center in Kentucky (no specific forms were required). Only one registration per person is allowed (however, a husband and wife may each, if eligible, submit one entry). Multiple applications by a single individual can result in that person being disqualified from the lottery that year. Only lottery winners are notified by the State Department. Applicants not selected may apply again in subsequent years’ lotteries but must submit a new application to do so.
