The Diversity Immigrant Visa Programme was established by statute and is annually administered by the Department of State. A type of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants” from nations with historically low rates of immigration to the United States are allowed under Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Up to 55,000 Diversity Visas (DVs) will be offered during Fiscal Year 2025. Registration for the DV programme is free of charge, but those chosen for an interview must pay a visa application fee before submitting a formal visa application, during which a consular official will decide whether they are eligible for the visa.
