About Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery

The Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery, is a U.S. government program that offers an opportunity for individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States to apply for a chance to obtain a U.S. immigrant visa. The goal of this visa program is to promote diversity among immigrants to the United States by granting visas to people from different countries and cultures. Winners of the DV Lottery are selected through a random drawing, and if chosen, they have the opportunity to apply for legal permanent residency in the United States, along with their eligible family members. It's a unique and sought-after pathway for those aspiring to live and work in the USA.
