Diversity Lottery Green Card

Diversity Immigrant Visa Program Assistance in Victoria, BC

The green card lottery is open to citizens of all countries except: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland and Hong Kong), Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Venezuela, and Vietnam due to the high number of immigrants to the United States in the past five years. This list is re-evaluated every few years.

This includes providing information about their criminal and health background as well as other information required for the immigrant visa process.
