If you haven’t been selected, you will have another chance to try your luck in the 2026 edition that will open in October this year.
If you are selected, you will need to make haste in filling the necessary forms after which you will be allocated an interview date at the US Embassy.
You will also be required to do a medical check. Immigration medical checks are exclusively done at the United Nations’ IOM Immigration Health Assessment centre at Gigiri.
It is important to understand that getting selected is not always a guarantee that you will immigrate to the US. This is because the program selects more applicants than the available slots.
