USA Immigration Lottery

While some of the people planning to immigrate to the United States of America choose to do so by applying for an immigration visa and an additional Green Card at the official authorities authorized by the government others choose another way to receive their Green Card: applying for entry into the American Green Card Lottery or USA Immigration Lottery. The lottery program was founded in 1987 by the Reagan administration in order to preserve the diversity of nations forming the United States of America. It offers an excellent chance to win one of the 55,000 American Green Cards handed out to winners from all over the world on a yearly basis. Every candidate can register online but only apply for the USA Immigration Lottery once per year and has to prove their eligibility by filling out the numerous forms regarding their level of education, their health-status and their financial security.  Future Green Card holders that have won the USA Immigration Lottery have to apply for an immigration visa in order to enter the US where they can take the final steps to obtaining their Green Card, like answering the questions of the official interview requesting more information about an immigrant's background. Once the formalities are completed successfully, the winners of the USA Immigration lottery are legal permanent residents of the United States and are free to chose a place of residence and a place to work.
