The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program issues 55,000 visas annually to citizens from countries with low immigration rates. This program is also known as the Visa Lottery and the United States government does not charge a fee to enter this annual selection.
Although the percentage of diversity visa application approval is very low, more than 50,000 people receive the green card. This card certifies legal permanent residency in the United States. The selected people will receive a follow-up email.
The website https://dvprogram.state.gov announced the selected persons in the “Entrant Status Check” section on May 6th.
What to do if you get rejected in the visa lottery
If the person is rejected, as an applicant, he/she has the right to appeal the consular decision and submit new evidence and documents.
Precisely because a consular officer decides whether to accept or reject your application, the interested party may ask the reason for the rejection.
Another option is to request a waiver of inadmissibility grounds. If you are eligible and receive the pardon, the visa can be issued.
For his part, the consul has the authority to issue a diversity visa if the problem is due to an involuntary non-compliance by the applicant.
But in the best-case scenario, a person who wins the Visa Lottery must meet several requirements. The first of these is To on the Diversity Visa program website. You must then complete and submit the DS-260 form online to apply for the immigrant visa.
Once this visa has been submitted, you will likely receive an email with an appointment. In this way, the interview would be arranged at a United States embassy or consulate. Finally, the interviewer will say whether or not the person has been approved for an immigrant visa.
