What is the US Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery?
The US Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery or Green Card Lottery is a program created by the Department of State that allows up to 55.000 randomly selected people to obtain a Green Card or permanent residency paper visa.
This program was created to receive more diverse immigrants from countries with a lower immigration rate to the US. The winners will receive a residence card, also known as a Green Card.

How long does this process take?
Going through this process alone can take a long time since there are forms to fill out and many requirements to match to get the Diversity Visa. The winners from the lottery normally get a notification 7 months after their application.
In addition to that, waiting to receive an interview at the embassy can take up to 14 months. That is why you should apply as soon as you can!
Don’t worry! iVisa is here to save you time and effort to have an easy and stress-free application process.

Should I apply to the Diversity Visa Lottery Program outside or inside the United States?
The vast majority of people who are selected for the Diversity Visa aren’t in the United States and will apply for a green card through the U.S. consulate in their home country.
However, if you’re in the United States with temporary immigration status, you’re also able to apply for the Diversity Visa Lottery Program.
