HOW DOES THE SELECTION PROCESS WORK?
HOW DO I APPLY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE IF I AM ELIGIBLE?Applications for permanent resident status can be completed by filing an adjustment of status application if lawfully present in the U.S. or by filing an application for an immigrant visa at a U.S. Consulate abroad. If an applicant is selected in the DV-2024 Program, the actual application for permanent resident status must be filed and approved by September 30, 2024; if an application is not approved by that date, the application is invalidated. Note: more individuals are selected in the DV Program than there are immigrant visas/green cards made available. As a result, some individuals who are selected in the DV Program may ultimately be unable to become U.S. LPRs if the available immigrant visas are allocated prior to approval of the individual’s permanent resident application. WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?Instructions regarding how to apply for the DV-2024 Program may be obtained from the official U.S. Department of State website at dvprogram.state.gov and at DV-2024 Program Instructions.
