GREEN CARD
LOTTERY 2013 (application period 4 October 2011—5 November 2011)
The "Green Card
Lottery," officially called "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," was created
for people who come from countries with low rates of immigration to the
United States. 50,000 immigrant visas are made available through this
program every year. None of these visas are available for people who come
from countries that have sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the United
States in the past five years. The State Department’s National Visa holds
the Lottery every year, and chooses winners randomly from all qualified
entries. Anyone who is selected under this lottery will be given the
opportunity to apply for permanent residence. If permanent residence is
granted, the individual will be authorized to live and work permanently in
the United States.
You will also be
allowed to bring your spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21
to the United States |

Note: Those who
were born in an ineligible country may still enter the Lottery if their
spouse (legally married husband or wife) or one of their parents was born in
an eligible country.
On the
application form – in the "note" space – write either the parent or spouse’s
country of birth as "Native Country" in order to qualify.
For example, if
born in Canada (an ineligible country) but the spouse is born in Italy (an
eligible country), it is possible to enter the Green Card Lottery. On the
application form should be written "Canada" as "Country of Birth" and
"Italy" as "Native Country". This qualifies the applicant to enter the Green
Card Lottery.
