Green Card Lottery How it works
What is the Green Card Lottery?
The Green Card Lottery, also known as the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, is an annual lottery run by the US government that offers permanent residency to people from countries with low immigration rates to the US. Each year, 50,000 visas are made available through this program.
The lottery is open to anyone who meets certain eligibility requirements, such as having a high school education or its equivalent, or two years of work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience. Applicants must also be from countries that have had low immigration rates to the US over the past five years.
How Does the Green Card Lottery Work?
The first step in applying for the Green Card Lottery is to register online at USA ESTA. You will need to provide basic information about yourself, such as your name, date of birth, country of origin, and contact information. Once you have registered, you will be entered into the lottery.
Once all applications have been received, a computer randomly selects winners from among all eligible applicants. Winners are notified by mail and must then complete additional paperwork before they can receive their green card.
Benefits of Winning the Green Card Lottery
Winning the Green Card Lottery has many benefits for those who are selected. It allows them to live and work permanently in the United States and become eligible for citizenship after five years.
Winners also have access to better job opportunities and higher wages than they would have in their home countries. They can also take advantage of educational opportunities not available in their home countries.
