Welcome to the DV Diversity Lottery

Green Card Lottery

The application submission period for DV-2006 is now over.

Each year, the United States Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery Program (Green Card Lottery) makes available 55,000 permanent residence visas through a computer-generated lottery drawing. These Visas, also known as "Green Cards", allow an individual and his or her family to permanently reside and work anywhere in the US.

For someone who does not have a close relative in the United States, or does not have a reliable job offer in the United States, this program serves as a beautiful opportunity to immigrate to the US without having to resort to other United States immigration procedures.

This year's application process for the DV2006 Program has changed. The Department of State will only accept completed Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Forms submitted electronically at http://www.dvlottery.state.gov during the 60 day registration period beginning November 1, 2004.

Take a moment to follow as we take you through the information and application process step-by-step.
