There is still a diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) program. I get that question here a lot; people ask me:
Diversity Visa Lottery (EDV-2021) - Changes to Entry Process
Diversity Visa Lottery (EDV-2021) - Changes to Entry Process

1. Have they canceled the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021)?

2. Are they still having diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021)?

The answer is No. United States Congress has not canceled the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) program, it is still in effect. There will be a visa lottery program this year; the entry period each year is in October.

What is the change in diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021)?

The change is that the government is now requiring, at the time of submitting your entry form, you need to provide your passport details. So basically, that's your passport serial number, the country of issuance, as well as the passport expiration date at the time you enter the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) in October.

All along, When you submit your entry into the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) program, you're required to provide your name, your date of birth, your place of birth as well as that same information for any accompanying family members, for example, your spouse or minor children, you need to provide that information for them. Now, with this new rule, the State Department has made very clear that if you do not provide any of this information, you will be disqualified from the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021). Okay, as well as many of you know who've tried for diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) in the past, you're required to provide a compliant photograph of yourself as well as the accompanying family members, spouse, and minor children. If you don't provide that, those compliant photographs, then, too, you can be disqualified from the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) program.

And finally, this is the new requirement  for giving the passport detail. Now each year, about 10 million people apply for diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021), okay that's 10 million people applying for a possible 55,000 diversity visa.

Significantly less people applying, because for many people, they may not actually apply for passports unless and until they know they've won the lottery, or they actually have a chance of coming to the United States; but now, the State Department has made clear that to even enter the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) program, you have to have a passport.

The entry period is in October so you have between now and October, if you don't already have a passport, apply and get your passport. Also, if you have a passport but it's about to expire, that too, apply to renew your passport. Make sure that you and your family members are ready so that you can submit a compliant entry to the diversity visa lottery (EDV Lottery - 2021) program come October.
