The State Department opened registration for the Diversity Visa 2023 lottery today. Up to 55,000 diversity immigrant visas will be available to nationals of countries with historically low immigration to the U.S.
Key Points:
DV-2022 Update: Last week, a U.S. District Court judge ordered the Biden administration to reserve a total of 7,395 diversity visas past their expiration for visa lottery winners whose applications had not yet been adjudicated. This order comes after the judge’s previous ruling, ordering the U.S. State Department to make good-faith efforts to process DV applications by Sept. 30.
BAL Analysis: Those interested in registering for the DV-2023 lottery are encouraged to do so early in the registration period. Individuals should beware of scams that frequently target DV lottery registrants. Registrants are reminded that the registration process is free and that the only way to enter the lottery and obtain lottery results is via the State Department’s E-DV website.
