Odds for Green Card Lottery 2011
According to projection made by J. Stephen Wilson, an immigrant examiner, around 17 million applicant will register for DV-2011. If accurate, the odds of getting a visa are 0.3% (1 of every 340). Is it really true?
When all applications are received by the deadline and the State Department performs its lottery, a hundred thousand winners are selected at random by their computers. A maximum of 50,000 will eventually obtain immigrant visas or green card. The remaining 50,000 initially chosen won’t qualify for the visas for several reasons. What this also means is that there won’t be a sufficient number of visas for all of those who are initially selected.
All applicants who are selected will be informed promptly by postal service (not e-mail) of their place on the list, or they can determine their winning status online.
DV 2011 Projections
Every month the State Department determines how many visas will be issued (numbers permitting) to those applicants who are ready for issuance either by having completed the appropriate forms and submitting documents within the United States., via CIS, or abroad to United States. consular offices.
The State Department will assign each application to one of six geographic regions of the world: 1) Africa, 2) Asia, 3) EU, 4) North America, 5) Oceania, and 6) South America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Of course, some of these regions contain countries that are ineligible for a particular year’s DV lottery.
Once selected, each application will be assigned an application number. This number will determine where on the list an applicant stands within his/her country and region of origin. For some applicants, it’s nothing more than an identification characteristic; for others it will actually determine when and if they can receive an immigrant visa or green card
