The exact number of people who will win the DV Lottery 2024 is not yet known. The U.S. Department of State will announce the winners in the spring of 2024. However, the maximum number of Diversity Visa (DV) winners is capped at 55,000 per year.
This number is distributed across different countries based on their historical migration rates to the United States. The DV Lottery is designed to diversify the U.S. immigrant population by giving priority to individuals from countries with historically low immigration rates.
How the DV Lottery Works:
The DV Lottery is a random selection process. Individuals from eligible countries can submit an online application during the registration period. The U.S. Department of State then randomly selects 55,000 applications from the pool of eligible entries.
Key Points to Remember:
- The DV Lottery is a chance-based process, meaning there is no guarantee of winning.
- Winning the DV Lottery is only the first step in the immigration process. Winners still need to meet all eligibility requirements and complete the necessary paperwork.
- The number of winners from each country can vary based on the number of applications received from that country.
