The Diversity Visa (DV) program is congressionally-mandated and allows up to 55,000 persons from nations that are historically under-represented in terms of migration to the United States to qualify each year for immigrant visas. The program is also known as the “green card lottery”
or "dvlottery", because the winners are determined through
a random drawing from among the 6 – 8 million people who enter
each year. |
