Previous years entries statistics - Green Card Lottery
The table below displays the total entries (Green Card Lottery applicant
forms or electronic submission) received by the State Dep. during the previous
years of the lottery program. For paper based program, the high number of
"Disqualified Forms" is due to missing information, wrong format, wrong addressing
and other misinterpretation of the requirements. For electronic based program, the
high number of "Eliminated" entries is due to exact duplicates and elimination through
facial recognition technology.
