The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery, is a United States government program that makes 55,000 immigrant visas available annually through a random drawing. The program for the 2023 fiscal year, DV-2023, provides a pathway for individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States, including Pakistan, to obtain permanent residency.
For Pakistani citizens, understanding the cultural context is important. The application process is conducted entirely online through the official U.S. Department of State website. It is crucial to be aware of scams; no agent or third party can guarantee selection or influence the outcome. The application is free to enter, but selected applicants will incur costs for visa processing and medical examinations later.
Eligibility primarily requires being a native of an eligible country and meeting either education or work experience requirements. For Pakistan, applicants 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. |
