green card

Gigantic cities, endless beaches, breathtaking canyons and fascinating people: The USA offer a diversity which can hardly be beaten by any other country in the world. It is no wonder that the USA has so many immigrants. Many people dream about a new life in the USA. But how can you make that dream come true? In order to start your new life in the USA you will either need a visa or a green card. The card will be valid a lifetime, but has to be renewed every 10 years. Please keep in mind that the green card is an immigration visa - meaning that the US expects you to build up your life in the USA.

There are different ways on how to get a green card. You can receive that card through a US company. But this is only for people with special skills. The easiest way is to win the green card through the lottery. Of course you will need a lot of luck to be among the green card winners, but the USA yearly grant 55,000 green cards via the Diversity-Visa-program.

Basically everybody can participate in the green card lottery. The only exceptions are person born in a country with a very high rate of emigration into the US. One's country of citizenship is not important for the green card process - the most important criterion is the country of your birth.
