While the US runs an official lottery there are lots of scammers out there who seek to abuse it.

The US lottery is free to enter if you fulfil the conditions; the scammers will take large amounts of cash from you with a promise that they can get you through - the US authorities do not accept entries from scammers so keep your money and check out the official US government links (as provided above).

The Diversity Lottery Program helps 50,000 people a year obtain permanent residency (a Green Card) if they are from of a country with low rates of immigration to America.

The program is based around a lottery-style selection process and run by the State Department's National Visa Center. Qualifying entrants selected from the lottery pool will be invited to apply for permanent residence, allowing them to live and work in America permanently.

Applicants must be from a country which has not sent more than 50,000 immigrants to America in the past 5 years, and if invited to apply for permanent residency they will be allowed to bring their spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 to America.

To be eligible for the Diversity Lottery:

-You or your spouse must be a native of a country that is eligible to participate in the Diversity Visa Lottery; and

-You must have a high school diploma or the equivalent, defined in the United States as successful completion of a 12-year course of elementary and secondary education; or

-You must have 2 years of work experience within the last 5 years in an occupation that requires at least 2 years of training or experience to perform.

Some countries are ineligible [you neglected to say where you're from]. To see the list, visit:

Being selected as a winner in the diversity visa lottery does not automatically guarantee a visa, even if the applicant is qualified. The number of entries selected by the National Visa Center is always greater than the number of immigrant visas available, because not everyone selected will be qualified for the visa or will choose to complete the processing.

Instructions listing information relevant to the Diversity Lottery Program is usually made available in August, and registration for the lottery is usually held in October each year. Once all 50,000 green card visas have been issued, the Diversity Visa Program for the year will end.
