The Diversity Visa Lottery, also known as the Green Card Lottery, is a US government program that provides 55,000 immigrant visas annually to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The 2026 DV Lottery presents a significant opportunity for eligible Pakistani citizens to pursue permanent residency in America.
Pakistan qualifies for the Diversity Visa program as it has had historically low immigration rates to the US. The application process for DV-2026 typically opens in October 2024 and runs for approximately one month. Applicants must meet strict education or work experience requirements - either completing secondary education equivalent to a US high school diploma or having two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training.
The electronic application is free and must be submitted through the official US Department of State website. Required information includes personal details, photographs meeting specific requirements, and details about spouse and children. Selection is completely random through a computer-generated lottery system, and winners are notified through the Entrant Status Check available on the official website.
Successful applicants must complete visa interviews at the US Embassy in Islamabad and meet all eligibility requirements, including medical examinations and security checks. The program offers Pakistani winners the opportunity to live and work permanently in the United States, bringing their families and contributing to the cultural diversity that makes America unique. |
