The Diversity Visa Lottery 2025, also known as the Green Card Lottery, is a program that allows individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States to apply for a chance to obtain permanent residency. Eligible countries for the DV-2025 program are determined based on immigration data from the previous five years. Countries that have sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in that period are typically excluded. For 2025, applicants must be natives of qualifying countries, which include many nations in Africa, Asia, and Europe, but exclude high-immigration countries like Mexico, Canada, China, India, and the United Kingdom. It is essential to check the official U.S. Department of State website for the complete list of eligible countries before applying, as the list can change annually. The application process is free and must be submitted electronically during the specified registration period. Winners are selected randomly by a computer-generated lottery system, and successful applicants can proceed with visa processing, leading to lawful permanent residence in the United States. |
