US Lottery Visa
(Diversity) is regarded as a core value in America. Since 1990, the United States has run the Diversity Visa programme, also called the US lottery visa , designed to attract immigrants of different ethnicities and from different countries. The US Green Card Lottery, known for short as the lottery, is in fact the Diversity Visa, also abbreviated as (DV), and is granted through a random draw system in order to distribute visas fairly among all the people of the world. Each country's share in this draw is a maximum of 7% of the total quota. For Iran, this figure is roughly more than 6%. In fact, more than 3000 US lottery visas are issued to Iranians every year. With this type of visa, lottery winners will be able to obtain US permanent residence and can use all facilities, including recreational, medical, educational and other facilities, just like US citizens, except for the right to vote.
