The Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery Program is a U.S. government initiative that allocates immigrant visas to individuals from countries with historically low immigration to the United States. The page explains how the program works, who is eligible, and how to apply through the official entry site. It notes that the entry window typically occurs annually and that winners may apply for an immigrant visa or adjust status if selected.

Potential to be issued an immigrant visa and pursue permanent residence in the United States if selected.

Participants must be born in an eligible country and meet education or work experience requirements; only one entry per person is allowed.

Visit the official entry site (dvprogram.state.gov), complete the Electronic DV Entry Form (DS-5501), submit, and keep the confirmation number to check status.
