The Diversity Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery, provides a unique opportunity for Pakistani citizens to apply for permanent residency in the United States. This annual program makes 55,000 immigrant visas available through a random drawing to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
Pakistan has been eligible for the DV program for many years, allowing Pakistani nationals to participate in this life-changing opportunity. The application process typically opens in October each year and remains open for approximately one month. Applicants must meet strict education or work experience requirements and complete the electronic application form accurately during the registration period.
For Pakistani applicants, understanding the cultural context and documentation requirements is crucial. The application requires a recent photograph that meets specific standards, along with personal information including education details. Successful applicants from Pakistan must then proceed with visa interviews at the US Embassy in Islamabad or Consulate General in Karachi.
The selection process is completely random, and applicants should be aware that there is no fee to enter the lottery. Beware of scams and fraudulent websites claiming to guarantee selection or charging money for lottery registration. Always use the official US government website for applications. |
