Life in the USA: The Dream Comes True with the Green Card Lottery
The United States remains the top destination for emigrants worldwide, and for good reason. Moving to the USA offers flexible career opportunities, an endless diversity of cultures, landscapes, and lifestyles, as well as a place for adventure and self-fulfillment.
If you've decided to live in the USA, the biggest hurdle awaits right at the start: you need a visa. A permanent residence and work permit for the United States is obtainable only with a so-called Green Card, the only immigrant visa for the USA.
Although there are various ways to obtain a Green Card, these are available to only a few people. For most, getting the coveted green card would be impossible without the Green Card Lottery from the US government and the support of the Green Card service agency The American Dream.
The Odds are High
Thanks to the randomness of the Green Card Lottery, 55,000 people receive the US immigrant visa each year, even if they have no relatives in the USA and do not qualify for a Green Card through employment or investment.
All participants from a country have the same chances of winning a Green Card, regardless of their age or income. In fact, the probability of winning in the Green Card Lottery is higher than hitting a triple in state lotteries.
If you want to double your chances, apply along with your spouse, as spouses automatically also have the right to a Green Card if you win in the Green Card Lottery.
Participation Requirements
To participate in the Green Card Lottery, you just need to fulfill two requirements:
- You were born in a country currently eligible for the Green Card Lottery.
- You have an educational qualification comparable to a US high school diploma. For participants from Germany, a MSA or secondary school diploma, or even two years of work experience in a recognized vocational occupation, is sufficient.
If you meet the aforementioned requirements, the only thing standing between you and winning the Green Card is a flawless and timely lottery application. Unfortunately, millions of Green Card applicants fail at this initial stage every year due to strict US government rules.
Avoid Application Errors
From the correct photo upload to filling out English online forms without errors and submitting the application on time: there are unfortunately many sources of mistakes when applying for the Green Card Lottery.
The biggest problem here: if you are disqualified from participating in the Green Card Lottery due to an error, the US government will not inform you. So, you neither learn that you were excluded from the lottery nor the reason why.
To avoid making the same unnoticed mistake year after year, have your Green Card application submitted by a USA expert, such as the government-licensed immigration advisors at The American Dream.
