Each year, the U.S. Government makes 50,000 permanent residence visas available through the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Program. Visas are apportioned among six geographic regions based on immigration rates to the United States over the last five years, with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration to the United States. Visa applicants are selected through a computer-generated, random lottery. The selection of a persons name in the lottery gives that person the opportunity to take the next steps in the visa application process. Please see the additional information on the Diversity Visa Program.
Before contacting the U.S. Embassy in Uzbekistan with questions about the Diversity Visa DV Program, please read our Frequently Asked Questions information sheet (PDF 210 KB).
Instructions for how to prepare for a DV interview can be found on the website of the Bureau of Consular Affairs at DV Interview Preparation Instructions.

DV-2017 Program: Entrants in the 2017 Diversity Visa Program (DV-2017) may check the status of their entries through the Entrant Status Check on the E-DV website now through September 30, 2017. Read more about the Entrant Status Check.
Beware of Diversity Immigrant Visa Scammers Sending Fraudulent Emails and Letters!
The U.S. Embassy in Uzbekistan reminds citizens and residents of Uzbekistan to use caution when working with private entities to apply for visas to the United States, particularly for Diversity Immigrant Visas. The embassy regularly receives reports of fraudulent facilitators, e-mails, letters, websites, phone calls, SMS, and print advertisements offering visa services. None of these third parties are affiliated in any way with the Embassy. The U.S. Embassy wishes to remind individuals interested in applying for the Diversity Visa Program that the Embassy and the U.S. Department of State are the only authoritative sources of information on the DV Program and its requirements. For more information, please read our page on Diversity Visa Scams. Dont fall victim!

Thank God President Trump is going to end this insanity.
Do we let in enough cannibals and headhunters, or are they discriminated against?
You have something against the cargo plane worshippers?
It should just be renamed “THE DEMOCRAT VOTER RECRUITMENT LOTTERY”....go Trump!!!

Feds interviewed suspected NYC truck attacker in 2015 about possible terror ties
You could be a Neurosurgeion or a Rocket Scientist from some “oversubscribed” country like India or Mexico, and it would take you over a decade to get a Green Card.
But any bloke walking down the street in Yemen can stop by our embassy and toss his name in the hat. What could go wrong?
We let them in, too...............
As an IMMIGRANT who came here years before this program, I have always thought it was a crazy way to let people just waltz in here without proper vetting...
Meanwhile those who did it the right way and were thoroughly vetted ended up coming in years after these “Ahmed-come-latelies”
America needs a 10+ year moratorium on ALL immigration, across the board. It was needed decades ago.
President Trump just said he was starting today to work on getting rid of this so called “lottery”
POTUS said 23 people came in with the terrorist...
POTUS has wanted to end this for a long time...
we need a merit program only...
Scumbag and soon to be democrat Jeff Flake is defending Schumer against Trump’s “unfair attack”.
23 people came in with terrorist?
What we are told... since 1995... 55,000 dv lottery winners x 25 years= 1,375,000 new dv immigrants.
But in reality since 1995... 55,000 x 24 people for each winner = 1,320,000 x 25 years = 33 million new dv immigrants?

Thanks, GraceG!
Wow. Rush is right (again). These government freaks really appear to want to import people who, at least initially, do not want to come here.
CANNIBAL LIVES MATTER! LET THEM IN!
My manager had to wait years to immigrate from Holland
