The Department of State has announced that the online registration
period for the 2013 Diversity Visa Program, DV-2013, will begin on
Tuesday, October 4 at noon EST, and will end on Saturday, November 5 at
noon EST. The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program makes up to 55,000
diversity visas available each year. These visas are given to people
from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States who
meet certain eligibility requirements. Visas are selected randomly from
all eligible applicants who correctly submit their visas within the open
registration period.
People selected for the Diversity Visa must have at least a high school
education or its equivalent, or two years of work experience within the
past five years in an occupation that requires at least two years of
training or experience. Learn more about the Diversity Visa Lottery
Program at travel.state.gov.
