Diversity Visa Program
The Diversity Lottery Program allocates 55,000 new immigrant visas each year — usually entered between October and December — for individuals from underrepresented nations. A nation is considered underrepresented if fewer than 50,000 people from that nation immigrated to the U.S. in the past five years. While entering the lottery is free, selection is only the first step — and the application and follow-up process must be completed flawlessly. Sukkar & Associates helps selectees turn a winning entry into an approved green card.
What Selectees Experience
Many selectees are surprised by how demanding the process becomes after winning. Strict deadlines, documentation requirements, and limited visa numbers mean that mistakes or delays can cost you the opportunity entirely. We guide you through every requirement so a once-in-a-lifetime chance isn’t lost to a paperwork error.

Eligibility
Eligibility depends on your country of birth and your education or work experience. We review your qualifications before you rely on a selection.
You or your spouse must be a native of a nation eligible for the Diversity Lottery Program. You may also be eligible if your parent was born in an eligible country.
You need a high school education or its equivalent, or two years of work experience within the last five years in a job that requires two years of training.
You must be otherwise admissible to the United States, which we confirm before you proceed.
After You Win
Being selected does not guarantee a visa. You must complete the immigrant application, gather civil documents, and finish consular processing or adjustment of status within strict deadlines and before the program’s annual visas run out.
Why It Matters
Diversity Visa selection is rare and time-limited. A complete, accurate, and timely case is the difference between a new life in the United States and a missed opportunity that may never come again. We treat your selection with the urgency it deserves.
The Process
We verify your country, education, and admissibility.
We prepare a complete, accurate immigrant visa application.
We assemble civil documents and prepare you for the interview.
We push to complete your case before annual visas run out.
The Details Other Firms Miss
DV visas are issued only within a single fiscal year. We build your timeline backward from the cutoff so nothing is left to chance.
Past immigration or criminal history can quietly disqualify a selectee. We surface and address these issues early, while solutions still exist.
Common Questions
No — entering is free and simple. The real value of an attorney comes after selection, when strict deadlines and detailed requirements determine whether you actually receive a green card.
No. The program randomly picks the 55,000 visa candidates by chance, not by merit, and selection only lets you apply. You must still qualify, complete the process accurately, and finish before the annual visas are exhausted. We help you do exactly that.
Yes. A selected applicant can include a spouse and unmarried children under 21, provided everything is filed correctly and on time.
