The Diversity Visa lottery program is conducted by the American Government every year to distribute 50,000 immigrant visas through this lottery. This visa lottery program allows eligible people to apply for the dv lottery & those candidates must come from those countries which do sends low numbers of immigrants to the United States with in the last 5years. This is called as a lottery, but it is not a program where funds or presents are involved.

The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is run on an annual basis by the Department of State & conducted under the terms of Section 203(c) of the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA). Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 to provide for a new class of immigrants known as "diversity immigrants" (DV immigrants). The Act makes available 50,000 permanent resident visas yearly to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
The annual DV program makes permanent resident visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. Candidates for the Diversity Visas are chosen by a computer generated random lottery drawing. The visas, however, are distributed among five geographic regions with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration to the USA, & with no visas going to citizens of countries which are sending over 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. historicallyin the past five years. Within each region, no one country may get over five percent of the total available Diversity Visas in any one year.
As for the State Department announcement last year, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply for the lottery. Because they have sent a total of over 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the earlier five years:
BRAZIL, CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born), COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HAITI, INDIA, JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, PERU, POLAND, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) & its dependent territories, & VIETNAM. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR & Taiwan are eligible.
For the DV 2010 green card lottery natives of RUSSIA & Kosovo are eligible to participate.
The visa lottery is conducted in English language only & the visa lottery will be called after the fiscal year as DV 2011 or DV 2012 in the event that they are going to issue visas in 2011 or 2012.
The winners in the DV Lottery program won't be given with the necessary visas basically but will be allowed to apply for them following the normal procedures. & at the interview they must proof their eligibility to the consular officer to be issued with the visas.
So the all the chosen winners of the DV lottery program don't have the chance to get their American Immigrant visas.
