Description:
According to the congressionally mandated Diversity Visa Program, up to 55,000 persons from nations with a historically low level of immigration to the United States of America will qualify every year for immigrant visas, also known as Green Cards (DV Lottery).
The scheme is known as the "Green Card Lottery" or "dvlottery" because the winners are chosen at random from among the 10–12 million applicants who submit applications each year.
The United States is proud of its immigrant population. Nonetheless, numerous countries send much more citizens to the United States than other countries. For example, the total number of immigrants from Mexico, China, and the Philippines outnumbers those from the majority of other countries combined. To maintain demographic diversity, US policies restrict immigration from many regions of the world.
