Visa Lottery

Millions of applications are filed for visa lottery every time a draw is being announced. Out of the many millions very few qualify from the random computer draw. Every personal who is declared a winner is in the draw may not qualify in the interview process. So a random draw for more than 50,000 applicants is made in order to fill in the 50,000 quota as regulated by the purpose of the draw than to leave the seats unfilled.

If the visa lottery application form is selected in the draw, the winner will be notified via a postal mail from the Kentucky Consular Center. The letter sent to the applicant will relate the winner with the following details:-
Name as registered with the official spelling in all other records
Date of birth of the applicant
Confirmation with regards to the origin of the nativity with which the applicant registered the form
The time and date related stamps when the application was submitted online

Along with these details instruction leaflets for further proceeding with the green card will be sent to the winner. However, winning in the visa lottery should be followed by success in the greed card interview.

Any discrepancy relating to spelling, date of birth, or nationality of the applicant should be reported to avoid future confusions. No agencies are appointed to notify winners the Department of State directly mails the winners.

The visa lottery is being processed completely electronically to avoid multiple applications from the same client and to screen number of scam applications from scam softwares. Duplicate application forms and wrong application forms are disqualified by anti-fraud technology that identifies manipulation of digital photographs and irrelevant and unclear data mess ups.

Only the entry for the visa lottery is free; however, there are fees associated with green card interview and related application forms like fee for medicals, application processing fee etcetera.

Despite many people already competing to enter the United States and many in the waiting list for visas, the permanent resident program via diversity lottery is to encourage people from low migration rate to enter America. The period for visa lottery application is quite short for a period of 60 days.

All the long waiting and anxiety of the process would be worth if you are selected; however, if you are not selected you can try the next year.
