How this estimate works

The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of selected entrants by the number of entries and multiplying by 100. It describes one historical dataset; it is not a promise of the same result in a future DV program year.

Diversity Visa selection is random among eligible entries and subject to regional and country limits. A valid entry, eligibility, processing, and visa availability all matter. Selection does not guarantee a visa.
