Quote: The Green Card Lottery (also known as the Diversity Visa Program) is the congressionally mandated allotment of 50,000 permanent resident visas per fiscal year to randomly selected individuals from qualifying countries. The Diversity Visa Program is the easiest, cheapest, and most efficient way to obtain permanent residence status in the United States. Once granted a Green Card, you will have all the rights and benefits of a permanent resident. You will be able to live in the United States without worrying about visa requirements and will not be limited in the duration of your stay in the US. Upon living in the US for a period of time, you will be eligible to become a US citizen. Back to top | APPLY NOW! What is a Green Card? A Green Card is a permanent US immigration visa which entitles the holder of the Green Card the benefits of working, living, and playing permanently in the United States of America. There is no time limit on the Green Card if you are residing in the USA. Any individual in lawful possession of a Green Card has the same rights, obligations, and benefits of an American citizen. However, that individual will not be able to vote. If you like visiting the USA and wish to stay longer if not permanently, the Green Card offers the security of knowing you can permanently reside in the USA. Back to top | APPLY NOW! How do I enter the Green Card Lottery? Paper entries are no longer accepted and all entries are required to be filed electronically. The only way to enter the Green Card Lottery is to apply online - either through a respected service such as Easy Visa USA™ or by visiting the US State Department website. All you have to do is enter and be in to win a Green Card. Applicants can submit their own forms themselves or they may have a representative such as Easy Visa USA submit the application on their behalf. The key to ensuring your application is not rejected outright for some minor submission, guideline, or requirement error, Easy Visa USA guarantees to review and ensure sufficient and timely filing of your application to the DV-2008 program. Back to top | APPLY NOW! What is the difference between dv-2007 and dv-2008? The difference is simple. Each year the greencard lottery is given a yearly numbering which correlates to the fiscal year in which the green card is awarded. So DV-2007 means that the green card will be awarded in the year 2007 while DV-2008 means that the greencard will be awarded in 2008. Please note that the entry period for DV-2007 has closed and we are now taking applications for DV-2008 (this year's Green Card Lottery). Back to top | APPLY NOW! Will there be a DV-2009? There is no guarantee that the Green Card Lottery will be held every year. In fact, Congress could at any stage choose to end the Diversity Visa Program depending on local politics or a change in US Immigration Policy. We encourage anyone interested in entering this year's lottery, to do so as soon as possible. Back to top | APPLY NOW! What are my chances of winning? It is difficult to assess the exact odds of you winning a Green Card. The last few years close to 9 million people entered the lottery. Over 25% were rejected for containing preventable minor errors. That means over 2 million applications were rejected because the individual preparer failed to accurately or timely submit the application. Easy Visa USA provides the service that lets you sidestep this hurdle and ensures you a true chance at obtaining a Green Card. We estimate that over 13 million people will enter the Green Card Lottery this year for DV-2008. Back to top | APPLY NOW! Why was my country excluded from the Green Card Lottery? The Green Card lottery is officially known as the "Diversity Visa" program and was designed to increase the diversity in the overall pool of immigrants coming to the US. In order to do this, countries with higher numbers of immigrants coming to the US are excluded. If more than 50,000 people over a five year period immigrated from any one country to the US, then that country will be excluded from the Diversity Visa allotment program. Back to top | APPLY NOW! How do I show my high school credentials or training experience? Documentary proof of successful completion of education or sufficient training are not needed at the time the application is entered, but will be necessary upon being selected by the consular office. Back to top | APPLY NOW! I am currently in the United States, am I still eligible to apply for the Green Card Lottery? Yes, you may apply for the Green Card Lottery whether you are in the United States or another country as long as you meet the requirements for applying. Back to top | APPLY NOW! Does winning a green card allow me United States citizenship? Yes, after living in the United States for 5 years (continuously) you will be eligible for US citizenship. You are not required to become a citizen but may do so if you wish. Back to top | APPLY NOW! If I do not win this year can I enter future Green Card Lottery Programs? Unless your country becomes disqualified from the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, you will be able to enter the Green Card Lottery each year it is offered. Each year certain countries are disqualified from the Green Card Lottery due to high rates of immigration to the United States in the prior years. (Countries are disqualified from the Green Card Lottery if they have over 50,000 immigrants to the US over the preceding 5 years). Back to top | APPLY NOW! What are the basic requirements for submitting an application to the greencard lottery? You are required to have a high school education (defined as 12 years in a primary and secondary school) OR 2 years training in a job that requires 2 years training. You are also required to be a native of a qualifying country. Under certain circumstances you will be allowed to claim the nativity of either your spouse or parent(s). You are required to complete and submit the application within the small window of time allocated at the end of the year by the State Department. Back to top | APPLY NOW! What family members must be included in my Green Card Lottery application? The Green Card Lottery application must include your spouse. The application must also include all biological (natural) children and any legally adopted children, who are unmarried and under the age of 21 at the time the application is filed. The exception is for those children who are already US citizens or permanent residents. You are required to provide this information regarding your child even if you are no longer legally married to the child's parent, the child does not currently live with you, and/or the child will not immigrate with you. Children over the age of 21 years and/or married children will not qualify for the Green Card Lottery. If you fail to list any and all children under the age of 21 years and unmarried, your application will be disqualified. Back to top | APPLY NOW! Do I have to submit pictures of my spouse and children? Yes, the picture requirement applies to all people involved that will eventually and potentially be obtaining permanent residence status (green cards). If you are married with children under 21 years of age, it is assumed they will be coming with you and therefore will all be required to submit the photographs as required. Back to top | APPLY NOW! What are the deadlines for the DV-2008 lottery? The deadline for submitting a green card lottery application for the DV-2008 program is October 05, 2006 to December 04, 2006. This is the window of time allocated by the State Department for accepting new green card lottery applications. Every application must be reviewed and each may have its own issues - in that regard we recommend you start early! The "DV-2008" title represents the year in which the green cards will be allocated. So we process and file your application in 2006, the State Department begins the random selection process in 2007 (and notifies you if you have been selected), and all green cards (and therefore permanent residence status) are awarded in 2008. Back to top | APPLY NOW! Can applying for the US Green Card Lottery affect my other USA visas or work permits? No, applying for the US Green Card Lottery cannot affect any other visas you may be interested in applying for. The US Green Card Lottery is a random selection process and by entering an application, you give yourself a chance at being selected. If you are already applying for a US work permit or visa, you should also apply for the Green Card Lottery because it will give you a chance at being awarded permanent residence status in the USA. Back to top | APPLY NOW! When will DV-2008 Visas (Greencards) be issued? All Diversity Visas for 2008 (DV-200 will be issued between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2008. Unfortunately the US State Department does not provide any more specific information regarding issuance of visas and limits the issuance time to the broad fiscal year. Back to top | APPLY NOW! If I am selected in the Diversity Visa Program am I still required to fulfill the eligibility requirements under US Immigration Law? YES, being selected in the Green Card Lottery still requires an applicant to fulfill those requirements set forth under US Law. Back to top | APPLY NOW! Where do I sign my application? Is my signature required? Due to the nature of digitalizing the application process, the US State Department no longer requires the applicants signature. You may enter the Green Card Lottery without signing any documents.
