How it works

Five steps from quiz to confirmation number.

The official Diversity Visa registration window is brief. DV Path queues your entry the moment your application is validated, and a trained operator submits it on dvprogram.state.gov during the window.

  1. step 01

    Take the 60-second eligibility quiz

    Four questions about country of chargeability, education/work, and immigration history. You exit the quiz knowing whether to proceed — no email gate.

  2. step 02

    Apply, save, and resume

    Multi-step form with spouse and children fields, and live save-and-resume. The client dashboard shows payment, photo, and data completeness in one place.

  3. step 03

    Photo review by humans

    Upload once. Our tool runs the State Department rules; then a human reviewer signs off on 600×600 px, white background, head-height band, and no glasses.

  4. step 04

    Manual submission during the October window

    No bots, no scripts. A trained DV Path operator submits your validated entry on the official dvprogram.state.gov portal during the brief registration window.

  5. step 05

    Confirmation number delivered

    Your State Department confirmation number reaches you by email the same day the entry is submitted. That number is the only proof of registration.

Why DV Path

Compliance is the hard part. We make it automatic.

The State Department discards most DV entries on technical errors — wrong photo, mismatched data, missed window. DV Path exists to make sure your entry never fails on a technicality.

365-day intake

Apply any time of year — the official registration window is open to applicants for a brief stretch each October, but DV Path accepts, validates, and queues entries every day.

Photo compliance, machine-checked

600×600 px, plain white background, head 50–69%, no glasses. Our tool runs every upload against the State Department rules and flags failures before a human review begins.

Submitted by people, never by bots

Trained staff personally submit each validated entry during the official October window and relay the State Department confirmation number back to you.

Multilingual, mobile-first

English, Russian, French, Arabic, and Spanish — built for applicants in Egypt, Sudan, Algeria, Morocco, Iran, Russia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, Cameroon, DR Congo, Nepal, and beyond.

Eligibility lead quiz

Find out in sixty seconds whether to apply.

Country of chargeability, education or work experience, immigration history, and photo readiness. The quiz ends with a verdict — eligible, needs review, or a softer no — and a clear next step.

  • No email gate, no account required to see your verdict
  • Cross-chargeability through a spouse counts
  • A softer “no” still gets a plan B
Question 1 of 4~60 seconds

Were you born in an eligible DV chargeability country?

DV Path serves applicants from Egypt, Sudan, Algeria, Morocco, Iran, Russia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, Cameroon, DR Congo, Nepal, and the wider CIS, MENA, and Sub-Saharan Africa corridors. A small list of high-admission countries is excluded each year.

Photo compliance

The State Department rejects most entries on photo. We run the same checks — with a human review at the end.
