Green card lottery registration

To apply for the annual Green card lottery, you must complete the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) form. There are a few requirements to participate in the selection process. Among other things, you must:

  • Be a national of one of the eligible countries for the current year. Indeed, the United States wishes to maintain a mix of people emigrating to its country. If a large number of your compatriots already reside in the U.S., you may not be eligible.
  • You must also have a Bachelor’s degree or have held a position for at least two years within the last five years.

If you meet these criteria you can apply in a relatively simple way. Simply fill out the online questionnaire, then provide a photo in the format required by the organizers. Please be very careful when filling out your application, as any error may result in automatic elimination.

Once the draw has been completed, candidates will be notified of the results by logging on to the website used to register. Then, the selected candidates will be invited to a motivation interview. Not everyone shortlisted will be lucky enough to be selected for a trip to the USA.

In this case, those who have been turned away may turn to a tourist visa application to allow them to visit the United States.
