Diversity Lottery
Hey Everyone,
I was looking around on Google today and I came across a term that caught my eye. Appartently, the State Department holds an annual Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery, in which would-be immigrants from around the world submit entries into a randomly-selected lottery drawing for one of 50,000 Diversity Visas "made available to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States."
There are some initial entry requirements (a form, photo, minimum work/education credentials, etc.) and some countries are excluded from this year's list of eligible countries if they've sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the last 5 years.
This year's entry period is over and the results won't come out until May, but this might have potential as a story on the different ways immigrants can enter the country.
Here's the link: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1318.html
Enjoy the weekend!
