Pakistan citizens do not currently qualify for the DV lottery program due to a high immigration rate.\n\nAnyway since it is a lottey there is no specific amount allocate to a country...

If you're talking about the Visa Diversity Lottery Program, it does exist.  There's no way of knowing ahead of time if you'll be chosen.  Fortunately, it doesn't cost unless you win.\n\nBest of luck.

Congratulations on your lottery win!\n\nYou will need a financial sponsor who will fill out an I-134 Affidavit of Support for you.  If you don't have one, you won't get the visa.

They will contact you by e-mail or by phone. Three grand prizes will go to the world cup final game. 13 runners-up will get World Cup Group tickets. 16 winners will all get $500.\n\nThis is a random draw, you get a max of 5 entries a day for ever correct answer or every friend you add on Yahoo Messinger.\n\nNo one has notified of their winnings yet.\n\nThe link explains it all. Good lick.

Yes, it is.\n\nIt's called Diversity Lottery (DV) Program makes 55,000 immigrant visas available through a lottery to people who come from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. \n\nThe State Department (DOS) holds the lottery every year, and randomly selects approximately 110,000 applicants from all qualified entries.\n\n However once 55,000 are issued or the fiscal year ends, the DV program is closed. If someone receives a visa through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program he will be authorized to live and work permanently in the United States and will also be allowed to bring his spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 to the United States.

My ex, who claimed bankrupcy 3 years ago, is now carting aroud his new visa! He had maxed out 6 cards at that point and was in debt about 30K. Tell me how he got another card??? Funny thing is that when I applied to get a card, I was declined even though I made more than him. I'm quite certain if I was a man earning the same salary, I'd have several cards by now.

Just watch your email, I am sure that you will be winning th overseas lottery (that you never entered) very soon and probably more than once (everyone else does).\n\nThat ought to solve your problems.

Not all nationalities are allowed to join the lottery. They will be screening it very hard and the winner will still be screened further. But if a terrorist wins this, then it is his lucky day.

All these answers are all wrong.\n\nThe law allows only for a limited amount of visas to be issued each year.\n\nFor example, it allows for 24,000 F4 visas every year.  A F4 is an immigrant visa which is issued to brothers and sisters of U.S. Citizens.  Right now, there is about a ten year wait.\n\nWhy is there a 10 year wait?  Because more than 250,000 people are currently in line for a visa!\n\nFor a visa category which does not have a limitation, such as spouse of a U.S. Citizen, the processing time is usually less than three months.

Unfortunately they don't list the names of the winners.  You would get a notice if you're picked.  Check http://www.uscis.gov for info.
