So the 2026 Green Card lottery concerns the quota of Green Cards to be issued in 2026. The U.S. administration is calling this promotion of new visas stemming from the diversity program: DV-2026 for Diversity-Program 2026.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quand-se-deroule-le-tirage-au-sort-du-quota-de-green-card-2026\">When is the Green Card 2026 quota draw?<\/h2>\n\n<p>There are several stages in the process of obtaining a Green Card through the lottery. The first step is the draw. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>DV2026 candidates had to register from October 2, 2024<\/strong> to take part in the draw, which takes place every year at the beginning of November. Online registration for the DV2026 draw closed on November 5, 2024. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quand-sont-publies-les-resultats-du-tirage-au-sort-du-dv-2026\">When are the results of the DV-2026 draw published?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/us-gc.net\/en\/lottery-green-card-results\/\">results of the Green Card draw<\/a> are published approximately 6 months after the end of registration: The results of the DV2026 draw are published from May 2025.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quel-sont-les-etapes-suivantes-pour-les-gagnants-de-la-loterie\">What are the next steps for lottery winners?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Winners must then apply for a Diversity visa.
