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.
