Immigrant Visa Services
Diversity Visa Lottery
The State Department issues instructions for the Diversity Visa Lottery
each year. Under the program, persons from eligible countries can register for the chance to apply for an immigrant visa. Those selected at random and notified by the State Department are eligible to apply for one of 55,000 immigrant visas made available annually. (Note: 5,000 of these visas are designated for use under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997.)
