The Diversity Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery, provides a unique opportunity for individuals from eligible countries to obtain permanent residency in the United States. The official website for the 2020 program was dvlottery.state.gov, where applicants could submit their entries during the specified registration period.
For Pakistani applicants, understanding both the technical requirements and cultural considerations is crucial. Pakistan has been an eligible participant country in recent lottery cycles, allowing qualified citizens to apply for this life-changing opportunity.
From a cultural perspective, Pakistani applicants should be aware that the selection process is completely random and computerized. There are no special connections or influence methods that can improve one\“s chances - this contradicts some cultural beliefs about obtaining opportunities through personal networks.
Additionally, Pakistani families often apply together, but it\“s important to note that each qualified family member must meet the education or work experience requirements independently. The principal applicant must have at least a high school education or its equivalent, or two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience.
Cultural adaptation is another significant consideration. Successful applicants should prepare for substantial lifestyle changes when moving from Pakistan to the United States, including different social norms, work environments, and community structures. |
