The Diversity Visa Lottery is one of the most surprisingly simple and accessible ways to obtain a U.S. green card, yet millions of eligible people never apply. Every year, the U.S. government offers 55,000 immigrant visas to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. It is a program designed to increase diversity, open doors, and give people from all over the world a real opportunity to build a life in America.

What makes the DV Lottery so powerful is that it costs nothing to enter, and the eligibility requirements are straightforward: a high school diploma or two years of qualifying work experience. There is no employer sponsorship needed, no job offer required, and no investment involved. For many families, this is the only immigration avenue available that does not depend on a U.S. company or relative.

However, even a small mistake can cause a disqualification. Incorrect photos, inaccurate information, or missing details can prevent an otherwise qualified entry from moving forward. I help applicants ensure their submissions are accurate and compliant, and if selected, I guide them through the next steps including gathering documents, completing government forms, and preparing for the consular interview.

The DV Lottery is an incredible opportunity that is often overlooked. The truth is simple: if you do not play, you cannot win. For anyone dreaming of building a future in the United States, this program is worth taking seriously.
