What is the Diversity Visa Program (DV) or Green Card Lottery?
The Green Card Lottery, also known as the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery, is a program where 55,000 permanent resident cards are made available each year. It’s an official U.S. government initiative that offers foreign nationals the opportunity to legally reside and work in the United States.
When can I submit a Green Card Lottery entry?
The U.S. government announces specific submission dates annually, typically in October, allowing qualified individuals to participate in the Green Card Lottery. With the DV PROGRAM, you can register throughout the year, and we will submit your entry when the submission period is open.
How many people are selected in the Green Card Lottery?
Each year, 100,000 entries are randomly chosen through a computer program. These selected individuals must complete Green Card applications, undergo security checks, and undergo a medical examination. Out of the initial 100,000 entries, only 55,000 will be granted Green Cards.
Who can participate in the Lottery?
To participate in the Diversity Visa program, individuals must have a high school education or two years of qualifying post-secondary work experience. Additionally, they must be native to a qualifying Green Card Lottery country.

What is DV PROGRAM?
DV PROGRAM is a private internet-based company, not affiliated with the U.S. government or a law firm. It was established in 2017 to help people worldwide participate in the American Diversity Visa Program (Green Card) Lottery, assisting with application review, compliance, and submission.
What services does DV PROGRAM offer?
DV PROGRAM, with over years of experience, helps clients prepare and submit successful Green Card Lottery applications. We offer a user-friendly online form, customer service in multiple languages, application review, and information on completing applications correctly.
DV PROGRAM provides its customers with a user-friendly online form, and customer service in several languages, so they can enter their details on the application and upload their photos in advance, before the official registration period for the Green Card Lottery. We also provide our clients with information explaining how to complete their Green Card Lottery applications correctly and answer questions that they may have about the DV Lottery program.
DV PROGRAM professionals then review the information and photos that their customers have provided to make sure everything meets the US Government standards for the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery program. Our automated system will notify DV PROGRAM customers if they are missing any of their required details or photos on their Green Card application and our photo experts will tell them if any of their photos do not meet the US State Department requirements for the Green Card Lottery (and explain what they need to do differently to meet the proper standards for the Lottery).
When a client’s DV Lottery application is complete and meets the American Government regulations, DV PROGRAM submits the application on their behalf to the US State Department during the annual registration period.
We also offer the convenience of multiple-year submissions for our clients and make it easy to update their applications as necessary. DV PROGRAM promptly notifies its customers who win the Green Card Lottery each year so they can take the next steps in this competitive process. Finally, DV PROGRAM offers immigration-related e-Books with useful information about the Diversity Visa program and immigration to the United States, as well as interactive, multimedia language-learning software to help customers improve their English language skills or learn other languages spoken in the USA.
Why use a Green Card Lottery application service provider?
An individual can apply for the DV-Lottery for free on the US government website; however, many people who apply for the Green Card Lottery and are randomly selected as winners, unfortunately, get disqualified during the subsequent consular process, often because they did not follow the US Government guidelines when they submitted their DV-Lottery applications. DV PROGRAM created a service that helps a qualified individual to get past the crucial application phase of the Diversity Visa Lottery Program. Our user-friendly online application form makes it easy for DV PROGRAM clients to enter the required details and upload their photo(s) for review by our experienced specialists. The DV PROGRAM Photo Department will check each photo the client uploads to his/her online application to make sure it meets the strict DV-Lottery requirements. If a photo does not meet the DV-Lottery standards, DV PROGRAM will contact the client, explain what needs to be done differently and request that they upload a new photo for review. DV PROGRAM also updates its clients by email when there are changes to the requirements or procedures for the DV-Lottery, plus DV PROGRAM sends reminders for clients to make sure their details and photos are up-to-date prior to submission. DV PROGRAM will submit each client’s complete application to the DV-Lottery during the annual registration period (normally in October) and contact them promptly if they are selected as a DV-Lottery winner. DV PROGRAM services can benefit anyone who wants to apply for the DV-Lottery, but especially those with large families (e.g., lots of details to enter and photos to upload) and people who do not know English well (DV PROGRAM provides information and assistance in several languages).
