THE DIVERSITY IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAM
DV-2003 will make permanent residence visas available
to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility
requirements. Applicants for the Diversity Visas are
chosen by a computer-generated random lottery drawing.
LIST OF QUALIFYING
COUNTRIES BY REGION
The visas, however, are distributed among six
geographic regions with a greater number of visas
going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and
no visas going to citizens of countries sending more than
50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the past five years.
Within each region, no one country may receive more than
seven percent of the available Diversity Visas in any
one year.
