> Other Information
The Diversity Visa Lottery is basis for obtaining permanent residence
in the United States. It was created in 1990 to allow foreign nationals
the opportunity to apply for permanent resident status without the
sponsorship of a relative or employer through the Diversity Visa
Lottery. There are up to 55,000 permanent resident immigrant visas
available each year. The foreign national must be a native of one
of the eligible countries. The visas are distributed among different
demographic regions. Each region is only allowed a certain number
of visas. There are a number of countries that are not allowed to
apply for the Diversity Visa lottery. These countries usually have
a high number of immigrants already in the United States.
There is no specific form to fill out, however, on the information
sheet provided at the Office of Thomas Esparza Jr., the instructions
are explained in full detail. The entries must have all the requested
information in order to be accepted, and the applicant must follow
instructions precisely. The application must be submitted to the
State Department during the filing period for that particular year.
The filing period is usually announced one to two months before
applications will be accepted. Once the filing period is over, a
computer randomly selects the applicants from each region. For more
information on the Diversity Visa lottery, contact the Law Office
of Thomas Esparza Jr at (512) 441-0062.
