Officials release details of the 2024 Diversity Visa Lottery

The Diversity Visa Lottery had a lot of problems this year, some due to Covid-19. According to El Cronista, the US President Donald Trump, indicated in 2019 that those who already had their visas could reapply.

This decision seriously affected millions of low-income people who were seeking to emigrate to the United States in search of better opportunities. Now, they have announced the requirements to apply for the 2024 Visa Lottery. Filed Under: US Confirms Visa Action
