DIVERSITY VISA LOTTERY PROGRAM
ANNUAL
LOTTERY BY THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT NATIONAL VISA CENTER
BEST KEPT
SECRET OF THE NEW MILENIUM!
The U.S.
Government approved the Annual Visa Lottery for Permanent Immigration into the
United States of America in 1995. This program is known as the Diversity
Visa Lottery" or DV-1. The next Lottery will close at Noon time,
Wednesday, November 6, 2002.
Each year
since 1995, the U.S. Government announces the dates in which the National
Center of Visas will accept applications for the Diversity Visa Lottery
Program. As its title indicates, it is a Lottery whereby 100,000 applications
will be randomly chosen by the U.S. State Department National Visa Center and
these applications will be given the chance to apply for Permanent Visa with
the right to reside and work permanently in the U.S. You will be allowed to
bring your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21. Out of the
100,000 applications selected, only 50,000 will be actually given the Permanent
Resident Visa. You may apply under the Husband name and submit another
application under the wife name. Also, you may encourage all your children over
21 years old to apply on their own. More than one application with the same
name will be disqualified. Names are randomly chosen by computer.
