The Diversity Visa Lottery program, also known as the Green Card Lottery, is a unique opportunity for individuals from eligible countries to apply for permanent residency in the United States. The DV-2024 program continues this tradition of promoting diversity in immigration.
For the 2024 lottery, the list of eligible countries includes nations with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. Countries that have sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the US in the previous five years are typically excluded from participation.
Some of the eligible countries for DV-2024 include Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Nigeria, and many others across Africa, Asia, and Europe. However, it\“s crucial to check the official list as eligibility can change annually based on immigration patterns.
Applicants must meet specific education or work experience requirements. The minimum requirement is either a high school education or its equivalent, or two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience.
The application process is entirely free and must be completed online through the official Department of State website during the designated registration period. Multiple applications from the same person will result in disqualification.
Winners are selected through a random computer drawing, and selection does not guarantee a visa. Selected applicants must still meet all eligibility requirements and go through the visa interview process. |
