About the United States Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV-2027) Lottery

The Department of State  annually administers the statutorily created Diversity Immigrant Visa Programme.  Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for a class of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants” from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States.  For Fiscal Year 2027, more than 50,000 Diversity Visas (DVs) will be available.  Entry to this program is free for all applicants. However, based on recent changes in the DV lottery programme, a new $1 electronic registration fee may apply during your registration.
