The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky, has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2023 diversity lottery. The Diversity Lottery Program was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available up to 55,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
Approximately 119,262 applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an application for an immigrant visa. Since likely, some of the first 55,000 persons registered will not pursue their cases for visa issuance, this more significant figure should ensure that all DV-2023 numbers will be used during the fiscal year 2023 (October 1, 2022, until September 30, 2023).
If you haven't applied for this year's Diversity Immigrant Visa Program in, please submit your application as soon as possible for the upcoming Green Card Program in the United States of America.
