Common mistakes when applying for the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program

From the source

The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program , commonly referred to as the green card lottery, was established by the U.S. government to provide individuals from countries with low immigration rates a chance to live and work in the U.S. Each year, the U.S. Department of State conducts a random lottery drawing to select 55,000 applicants who will be given the opportunity to apply for a Diversity Visa (DV). This selection process is based on a computer-generated random lottery system, ensuring fairness and equal opportunities for all participants. To qualify, applicants must be a citizen of a country deemed eligible by the U.S. government and have either a high school education or its equivalent or possess two years of work experience in a qualifying occupation.
