The Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery program, also known as the Green Card Lottery, allocates visas through a randomized selection process with specific quotas for different countries and regions. The program aims to diversify the immigrant population in the United States by providing up to 55,000 immigrant visas annually to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S.
Regarding country-specific quotas, no single country can receive more than 7% of the available diversity visas in any given year. This ensures a fair distribution among all eligible countries. For example, if 55,000 visas are available, no country can receive more than 3,850 visas. The exact number varies each year based on overall visa availability and regional distribution requirements.
Pakistan has been an eligible country for the DV Lottery program since 2005, allowing Pakistani citizens to participate in this immigration opportunity. The selection process is completely random through computer-generated drawings, with winners chosen from among all qualified entries.
