The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (also known as the DV Visa Program) is a great way for citizens from around the world to become a citizen and live and work in the USA! Each year 50,000 randomly selected individuals are granted permanent residency under this program.

InternationalStudent.com does not work with, or recommend any particular DV Visa Program website apart from the official government website! The DV Program is totally FREE so please be aware of sites that charge a fee to process your application. The ONLY official website is available below.

Being a true Brit, I cannot go without mentioning the Ashes win by Englands Cricket team! I know I, and many others around the world spent the day with their ears pinned to the radio listening to the final days play - and its great to see the Ashes back on british soil!
