Registration for the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program for Fiscal Year 2023 (DV-2023), popularly known as the visa lottery, officially opened up on Wednesday, Oct. 6. The Department of State, which administers the program, said it’s Twitter account that the electronic enrollment period is rolling out only through dvprogram.state.gov. The entry period for the immigration program — which will allocate up to 55,000 immigrant visas or green cards in 2023 — will close on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at noon, authorities said.
Foreigners interested in immigrating legally to the United States must submit their applications electronically.
“Do not wait until the last week of the registration period to enter as heavy demand may result in website delays,” officials recommended.
“No late entries or paper entries will be accepted. The law allows only one entry per person during each entry period,” they said in the instructions for the 2023 Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. Attempting to enter the program more than once automatically disqualifies the applicant, they said.
There’s good news for visa lottery winners who could not get their U.S. visas on time.
2023 DIVERSITY VISA PROGRAM
The 2023 Diversity Visa Program provides permanent resident visas to foreign citizens in countries with low immigration rates to the United States in the previous five years.
Participation in the DV-2023 program is free and the application process is quite simple. Winners are determined through a randomized computer drawing. Applicants must meet simple but strict eligibility requirements to qualify, according to the Department of State, which distributes the immigrant visas among six geographic regions. The program is widely popular around the globe because it does not require a U.S. sponsor to immigrate. For the DV-2022, the program received 7,336,302 qualified entries — 13,191,296 foreign nationals including family members of principal applicants.
