About this service
The Diversity Visa program, run by the U.S. Department of State, makes a limited number of immigrant visas available each year through a random lottery, aimed at people from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the U.S. Entry is only accepted during a specific registration window announced each year, and the entry itself has strict requirements around photo specifications and accurate personal information — small errors can disqualify an otherwise eligible entry. DocPrep reviews eligibility for the current year's program and prepares the entry to meet those technical requirements before the window closes.
Who this may apply to
- Individuals born in a country currently eligible for the Diversity Visa program
- Individuals who meet the program's education requirement or qualifying work experience
- Individuals who missed the technical requirements (like photo specifications) in a prior year's entry
What DocPrep can help prepare
- Reviewing eligibility based on country of birth and the current year's program rules
- Confirming the education or work experience requirement is met
- Preparing a compliant photo meeting the program's exact specifications
- Completing the entry form with accurate personal and family information
- Explaining the general timeline from entry through selection results and any follow-up steps

Documents you may need
Requirements vary depending on your situation. Commonly requested information may include:
- Passport or other proof of country of birth
- Diploma or transcript showing the required level of education, if relying on the education requirement
- Employment records showing qualifying work experience, if relying on that requirement instead
- Digital photo meeting Department of State specifications
- Names, dates of birth, and passport information for spouse and unmarried children under 21, if applicable
Important notes
- Entries are accepted only during the official registration period the Department of State sets each year — DocPrep cannot submit an entry outside that window.
- Selection is entirely random. DocPrep does not influence, predict, or guarantee selection or eventual visa issuance.
