The Diversity Immigrant Visa is also named the green card lottery. The Diversity Immigrant Visa is also named the Diversity Visa Program. The Diversity Immigrant Visa is a program made by the Immigration Act of 1990. Some people come to the United States of America to stay forever. Those people come from other countries. Some of those countries have few of those people every year. The Diversity Immigrant Visa allows some more people born in those countries to get permission from the government of the United States of America to stay forever. Each year, 50,000 Diversity Immigrant Visas are given to random people. Almost 38% of the Diversity Immigrant Visas were given to African born people in 2016.[3] African born persons also are the most biggest group among those people who ask for Diversity Immigrant Visas since 2013.[4] The asking for a Diversity Immigrant Visa is free of charge. To ask for a Diversity Immigrant Visa you must have either a high school diploma or two years of a professional experience which requires at least two years of training.
