| The Diversity Visa (DV) program is congressionally-mandated and allows up to 55,000 persons from nations that are historically under-represented in terms of migration to the United States to qualify each year for immigrant visas. The program is also known as the “green card lottery” or "dvlottery", because the winners are determined through a random drawing from among the 10–12 million people who enter each year. The DVLottery program usually takes place at the end of each year, while winners are announced between April and June of the following year. A green card entitles the holder to live and work in the United States indefinitely and without restrictions. |
