Summary

Informational only, not legal advice. Confirm deadlines on the official notice or with a qualified professional.

The Diversity Visa (DV) Program for 2025 has reached its annual limit for applicants from Egypt, meaning no more Egyptian nationals can be selected in this year's lottery round. This typically occurs when demand from a single country exceeds the per-country cap set by the State Department. Applicants from Egypt who were not selected should consider alternative immigration pathways or apply in future years.
