Diversity Program (Visa Lottery)

Every year, the US Department of State celebrates an immigrant visa lottery, where up to 55,000 persons may participate, if qualified, and receive a visa to immigrate to the United States.

This program provides this opportunity to persons from countries with low levels of immigration to the United States, or less than 50,000 immigrants from that country of origin in the past 5 years. The citizens of the following countries do not qualify for the 2009 lottery: 

Brasil, Canada, China (except those born in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Russia, South Korea, the UK (except Northern Ireland) and Vietnam.
