Non Immigrant and Immigrant Visas - Green Card Lottery - DV
---> Diversity Visa Program <--- Every year, millions of people apply for the Green Card Program. About 125,000 applicants will be randomly picked by the US Government to apply for the Diversity Visa for entering the USA as a Legal Permanent Resident. Up to 55,000 will finally be selected to receive Green Cards and enter the United States as permanent legal residents. ---> Diversity Visa Program <---
I find the resources online slightly unclear about this.
For the purposes of OPT, does USCIS consider the application received on the date it arrived in their mail room, or the date it was receipted?
