Breezy Explainer: What is the US Green Card Lottery—Who is eligible and who is not?

The Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Program, popularly known as the Green Card Lottery, is the United States’ way of diversifying its immigrant population by offering a path to permanent residency—but only for nationals of countries with historically low immigration rates to the US.
Each year, the program allocates up to 55,000 immigrant visas, chosen through a randomized, computer-based lottery system administered by the US Department of State. These coveted green cards offer recipients the right to live and work permanently in the United States.
Under the program’s rules, citizens of countries that have sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the US in the last five years are not eligible to apply. As a result, Indian citizens are currently excluded from the Green Card Lottery due to the country’s high immigration numbers to the United States.

However, there is a workaround: individuals born in a country that is eligible for the DV Program may still apply, even if they now hold Indian citizenship.
The DV Lottery application process is free of charge and typically opens in October and closes in November each year. Applicants are required to submit their details through the official government website, and only once. Multiple entries from the same person result in automatic disqualification.
Winners of the lottery are selected at random through a computerized draw. But winning is just the beginning; recipients must still clear a US visa interview, undergo a medical exam, and pass a background check to receive a visa.

The Diversity Visa Program was created by the Immigration Act of 1990, designed to encourage immigration from underrepresented countries. Over the years, it has become a vital entry point for immigrants from Africa, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia.
Participating countries in the current lottery include nations such as Ghana, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, and Zambia, among others across Africa and parts of Asia and Eastern Europe.
Officials consistently warn against third-party websites and agents offering “guaranteed” lottery entries or asking for a fee. The only legitimate place to apply is the official US government portal. Applicants are urged to stay vigilant against fraud.

While Indian citizens currently cannot apply directly, they may qualify if born in an eligible country or, in some cases, if their spouse is from an eligible country and they apply together.
For now, Indians hoping to immigrate to the US will have to rely on other pathways, such as employment-based or family-sponsored green cards. But the DV Lottery remains an open door, just not for everyone.
