The Diversity Immigrant Visa program, also known as the “Green Card Lottery,” is a United States government lottery program meant to create diversity within the U.S. communities by making available 55,000 immigrant visas annually to countries that had lower numbers of immigrants (to the United States) in the previous five years.   

Since 2017 certain nationalities have faced severe restrictions in their ability to successfully obtain their Immigrant Visas to the United States, in spite of having won the “Lottery.” 

The program has come under severe scrutiny, especially with the recent administration and there are different lawsuits that address different aspects of more current restrictions.
