The Online 2026 Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery is currently open for applications until noon ET on November 5, 2024. The DV Lottery allows individuals from eligible countries to apply for a green card, which grants them permanent residency in the United States.
For more information about eligibility, application procedures, and commonly asked questions, applicants can visit the official DV Lottery website.
Eligibility Criteria:
Applicants from countries that have seen more than 50,000 nationals migrate to the U.S. in the past five years are not eligible. This year’s ineligible list includes Cuba, which was added to last year’s list.
Individuals who are already in the process of obtaining a green card through other means can still apply for the DV Lottery.
If an applicant comes from an ineligible country, they may still qualify if their spouse is from an eligible country.
Submitting multiple applications will lead to disqualification.
The DV Lottery is a vital opportunity for many seeking to immigrate to the U.S., as it aims to enhance diversity among immigrants.
