DV-1 VISAS “GREEN CARD LOTTERY” TO USA

DV-1 Visas: Your Chance to Win the U.S. Green Card Lottery

Dreaming of starting a new life in the United States? The Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery Program, also known as the Green Card Lottery, offers a unique opportunity for individuals from eligible countries to obtain U.S. permanent residency. At Eagle Immigration and Visa, we are here to help you navigate the application process and increase your chances of success.


What is the DV Lottery Program?

The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV Program) is an annual initiative by the U.S. government to promote immigration diversity. It provides 50,000 immigrant visas (DV-1 visas) to individuals from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. Winners of the lottery can live, work, and study in the U.S. as lawful permanent residents.


Eligibility for the DV Lottery

To qualify for the DV Lottery Program, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  1. Country of Eligibility:
    • You must be a native of a country eligible for the lottery. If your country is not eligible, you may qualify based on your spouse’s or parents’ country of birth.
  2. Education or Work Experience:
    • You must have at least a high school education or its equivalent.
    • Alternatively, you must have at least two years of work experience in the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience.
  3. Application Accuracy:
    • Submit a complete, accurate application during the registration period, typically in October and November each year.

How Does the DV Lottery Process Work?

Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:

  1. Online Registration:
    • Submit your application through the official DV Program website during the designated period. There is no fee to enter the lottery.
  2. Selection:
    • Winners are randomly selected through a computer-generated lottery. Results are announced on the DV Lottery website in May of the following year.
  3. Submitting Form DS-260:
    • If selected, you must complete Form DS-260 (Immigrant Visa Application) and provide supporting documents.
  4. Visa Interview:
    • Attend an interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. You’ll need to present documents, medical examination results, and proof of eligibility.
  5. Receive Your Green Card:
    • Upon approval, you’ll receive an immigrant visa allowing you to enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident.

Documents Required for the DV Lottery Process

  • Passport: Valid at the time of application.
  • Education or Work Experience Proof: High school diploma, training certificates, or employment letters.
  • Birth Certificate: To verify your country of birth.
  • Form DS-260 Confirmation: Submitted after being selected.
  • Police Clearance Certificate: To prove a clean criminal record.
  • Medical Examination Results: Conducted by an approved physician.

Key Points to Remember

  1. Avoid Fraud: Only use the official DV Lottery website for registration. Be cautious of scams or third-party services claiming to guarantee selection.
  2. No Fees to Enter: Entering the lottery is free. Fees apply only after selection for visa processing.
  3. Act Quickly if Selected: Winning the lottery does not guarantee a visa; you must meet all eligibility requirements and submit your application promptly.
  4. Limited Timeframe: Visas are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, so early submission of documents is crucial.
