Each year, eligible applicants submit their information during a limited registration period. After the deadline, a computer-generated random draw selects winners. Those selected can apply for a U.S. immigrant visa (Green Card) and, if approved, live and work legally in the United States.

The Diversity Visa Program is operated by the U.S. Department of State. While participation is free on the official government website, many individuals choose to use private services like USAGC Services for professional assistance throughout the process.

No. Applicants must meet two key requirements:

• Be born in an eligible country (based on U.S. immigration trends).
• Have either a high school diploma (or equivalent) or qualifying work experience in an eligible occupation.

Each year, the list of eligible countries is updated based on immigration statistics.

Winners are chosen through a secure, randomized electronic draw managed by the U.S. State Department. Every valid entry submitted during the registration period has an equal chance of selection, regardless of nationality, gender, or age.
