GREEN CARD LOTTERY
(Diversity Visa Program)
The Diversity Lottery makes available a maximum of 55,000 immigrant
visa numbers annually to persons selected at random from countries with low rates
of immigration to the United States. There is a separate registration for each year's
visas. Information on registration for the lottery is announced each year by the
State Department.

- To be eligible for the lottery, you must be born in an
eligible foreign country or be entitled to claim the privileges of that country
for the purpose of the lottery
- Spouses may claim the privilege of their spouse's country of birth
- Unmarried minor children (under the age of 21) can claim the privileges of their
parents' country of birth, and

How and When to Apply:
The lottery registration period lasts one month. Sometime in August
of this year, the United States government will announce the dates of the registration
period. Entries received before or after the registration dates will be disqualified
regardless of when they are postmarked. Entries sent to an incorrect address will
also be disqualified. Only applicants who are selected are notified. Submission
of more than one application will invalidate the application. Failure of the applicant
to personally sign his or her entry will result in disqualification.
