Egypt - DV Lottery Participation.

Egypt is one of the countries that has been allowed to participate in the annually held American visa lottery program. This visa lottery had allowed thousands of Egyptians to immigrate to the USA in quick time.

In the 2012 fiscal year program nearly 4,664 numbers of Egyptians were selected as winners by the computers that are located in the KCC. These people were advised to follow with the winning instructions if they had the required education/work experience. Also take note that all the winners will not have the chance to get the visas as there are only 50,000 visas and nearly 100,000 people are selected as winners. And another dv lottery rule says that no one country can get more than 7% of the total available visas.

The US Embassy in Cairo used to provide information about the American diversity visa lottery program. Here is an announcement from them regarding the visa lottery scam. Read here.
