U.S DV Lottery
U.S. Diversity Visa Lottery 2027
The registration for DV Lottery 2027, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery, is administered by the U.S. Department of State. The goal of this initiative is to provide visas to individuals from countries with low immigration rates to the United States. Through the Electronic Diversity Visa Program, an annual lottery system allocates 55,000 visas to eligible participants. If selected in the lottery, individuals are eligible to apply for a permanent resident visa with their family, commonly known as a green card, which allows them to live and work in the United States. Unlike any geographic location, the DV Lottery Program is not administered through a specific facility. Instead, the U.S. Department of State administers the program through its consular offices worldwide. These consular offices play a key role in processing DV Lottery applications and issuing visas to eligible individuals.
