What's the DV?
The U.S. Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, also known as "Green Card Lottery", is an immigration program run by the U.S. Department of State under which citizens of most countries can become permanent residents of the USA.
Each year the U.S. Government, through its green card diversity visa program, makes available 55,000 immigrant visas to persons meeting the eligibility requirements.
Applicants for the green card lottery are initially chosen through a random computer-generated drawing. Winners of the green card lottery win the right to live and work in the United States.
Those selected from the current Green Card Lottery program, DV-2006, will be drawn from the entries registered with U.S. State Department in the year 2004.

Benefits for Winners
The Green Card gives the holder the legal right to Live, Work, Own a Business and Study anywhere in the United States of America permanently. It gives the right to enter and leave the country freely.
You may work in the many public and private sector jobs that are available. Green Card holders also receive health, education and other benefits offered only to permanent residents. They can also sponsor relatives for a green card. The USA Green Card DOES NOT affect present citizenship. A holder of a card may later apply for a United States citizenship and passport, if desired.
