Karin King, director of public and diplomatic liaison for the Visa Office of the Bureau of Consular Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, emphasized at a press conference at the Foreign Correspondents Center of the State Department on the 1st that applications must be registered with a private email address, and each person can only apply once. But different people can use the same email address. Each adult in a family can apply separately.

Jin pointed out that there is no fee to register for lottery immigration. Lucky winners only have to pay the fee when they go to the visa interview.

Jin said that the State Council will not notify applicants whether they are successful, but will only send emails to remind applicants to check online. Applicants can check their results online from May next year. After applicants log in and provide their last name, year of birth and email address, they will be notified whether they have been selected.

The U.S. government does not outsource the green card lottery. If the public receives any notification about winning the lottery, it is false. Notices sent by the U.S. government must be .gov emails.

Applicants must graduate from high school or have equivalent academic qualifications; or have at least two years of work experience in the past five years. The applicant, his/her spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 can all immigrate at the same time.

The successful candidate must pass a physical examination and background check, and must prove that he will not become a public charge in the United States.

The green card lottery began in 1995. The United States issues 55,000 diversity visas by lottery every year to countries and regions with fewer immigrants to the United States to maintain the diversity of immigrants in the United States.

Officials pointed out that millions of people born in Bangladesh apply every year. But those born in Bangladesh have become ineligible the following year, so the total number of applications is estimated to be millions less.
