The registration period for DV-2025 Program popularly known as green card lottery begins on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at 12:00 noon, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT-4) and concludes on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, at 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-5).

The Department of State annually administers the statutorily created Diversity
Immigrant Visa Program. Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA) provides for a class of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants” from
countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. For Fiscal
Year 2025, up to 55,000 Diversity Visas (DVs) will be available. There is no cost to
register for the DV program, but selectees who are scheduled for an interview will
be required to pay a visa application fee prior to making their formal visa
application where a consular officer will determine whether they qualify for the
visa.
All entries must be submitted electronically on the Electronic Diversity Visa (E-DV) website during the specified registration period. No late entries or paper entries are accepted.
After you submit a complete entry, you will see a confirmation screen containing your name and a unique confirmation number. Print this confirmation screen for your records.
It is extremely important that you retain your confirmation number. It is the only way you can check the status of your entry, and you will need it to obtain further instructions or schedule an interview for a visa if you are selected.
Important: There is No Cost to register for the DV Program. You are strongly encouraged to complete the entry form yourself, without a “Visa Consultant,” “Visa Agent,” or other facilitator who offers to help.
If somebody else helps you, you should be present when your entry is prepared so that you can provide the correct answers to the questions and retain the confirmation page and your unique confirmation number.
