Every year, the United States government issues thousands of permanent resident visas to people from countries with low levels of immigration to the United States. Thanks to these visas, a foreigner can work, study, as well as enter and leave the United States. This status is a pathway to legal US citizenship.
Requirements to apply for the 2024 Visa Lottery?
The requirements to participate in the Visa Lottery, according to the Department of State are:
- Have at least a secondary education or its equivalent, defined as the successful completion of a 12-year course of formal primary and secondary education.
- Two years of work experience in the last 5 years in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience to perform.
What is the Diversity Visa Lottery?
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, also known as the Green Card Lottery, involves having a computer pick the winners at random. The program was created under the 1996 Immigration Act to promote the diversification of immigrants in the United States.
When will the results of the Visa Lottery be known?
Results will be available from May 6, 2023 to at least September 30, 2024. Keep these points in mind:
- You must use the participant status verification directly with the US Department of State to see if you won.
