Diversity lottery process
The Diversity Lottery Visa is a limited visa that is available on a “lottery” basis. This process is outlined annually by the US State Department. It is for individuals from countries from which visas are not readily used. But a person must not be out of status in the United States if they wish to use this visa. Also, individuals overseas who use this visa must be admissible to the United States.
