The USA Green Card Bureau Organization (GreenCardBureau.org) was established to help people who want to immigrate to the U.S. It is a private organization whose goal is to help individuals and their families with the bureaucracy of the process such as filling up forms, accurately obtaining photos and apply the application correctly to the Green Card DV-lottery.

In 1990, the US Congress passed the immigration act and the Diversity Immigrant Visa, better known as the Green Card DV-lottery, was established.

One of the main reasons for this program is to diversify the population of the United States.

Before enacting the DV program, Immigration to the US was accepted mainly from European countries. However, since its inception almost 30 years ago, the US now allows substantially more immigrants from Asian, African, Latin American Countries as well as from the Middle Eastern and Caribbean countries.

Nowadays, the United States is the most sought-after place for Immigration, with over 45 million immigrants. Every year, the US State Department through its Green Card DV-lottery program, issues about 50,000 Green Card winners. Those that win the DV-lottery go through a routine Consular Interview and eventually become legal Permanent Residents to the United States with their family members.

About 10 million people register each year for the DV-lottery program from all over the globe. A computer then chooses approximately 100,000 individuals as winners. These winners will get the possibility to apply for one of the 50,000 Green Cards Issued each year by the US State Department.

This method ensures an impartial, nonpartisan way of selecting a diverse group of individuals from all over the globe to have an equal opportunity to win the DV-lottery.

The DV-lottery application must be submitted by October of each year, and the lucky winners are usually notified of their winning by May the following year.

The Green Card (Diversity Visa) DV-lottery has two significant conditions for participation. One of the purposes of this program, as the name implies, is to diversify the population of the United States. The registration to this program usually occurs around October each year and the US State Department issues a list of eligible and non-eligible countries beforehand.

To participate, an applicant to the DV-lottery must be a native to one of the eligible countries on this list.

The 2nd condition is to have a formal education of 12 years of primary and secondary school. If you do not have 12 years of formal education, you should have at least two years of experience in the past five years, in a skilled job that mandated at least two years of training and practice.

Our website can help verify whether you comply with the conditions of the Green Card (Diversity Visa) DV-lottery program.

Anyone who meets the eligibility criteria can apply for free to the DV-lottery directly on the US State Department’s website during the registration period (October-November). However, many applicants choose to use our services to prevent disqualification and dealing with the bureaucracy needed.

To participate in the Green Card DV-lottery, you have to fill up the application form and provide photos according to specific standards, which can get frustrating. Many individuals choose to use a professional service for this purpose. If you do not fill up the application correctly, you can get disqualified from participating in the DV-lottery or get disqualified even after you were selected. Our services can be provided in many different languages and especially suitable for those whose English is not very good. We at the USA Green Card Bureau Organization make sure that you and your family’s application is up to standards of the program. Furthermore, once you have won the DV-lottery, the USA Green Card Bureau Organization will help with the Consular Interview.

The application has to include all the information and photos regarding the principal applicant, the legally married spouse if relevant, and all children (biological, step-children, adopted) under the age of 21, provided they are not married, even if they do not wish to immigrate with you to the USA.

You must also update your application if even one of these details change after you have submitted the original request. For example, you will have to update the application if your marital status changed or you had a new baby. If you do not update your application, you can get disqualified later on, e.g., during your Consular Interview, so please remember to update your application if needed.

You can not include your frequent law partner on your application. The application can only include those who are legally connected to you such as your legally married spouse (either same-sex or opposite-sex) and your children (biological, legally adopted, step-children) under the age of 21 if they are unmarried.

“Derivative Dependent” means the family member of the principal applicant that is listed on the application form. A derivative dependent can be a spouse (legally married, same-sex or opposite-sex) and unmarried children under the age of 21.

In case you are selected as a winner, the derivative dependent can also apply for Immigration to the USA via the DV Program. This is known as the DV-lottery selectee’s Diversity Visa application.

Your spouse can apply as long as she meets the eligibility criteria for the Green Card (Diversity Visa) DV-lottery of that year. You will have to fill up separate application forms. All forms must include the necessary information and photos and contain details regarding the legal spouse and children as described above.

In case one of you win the DV-lottery, the other spouse and children included in the application form can also continue the process of Immigration to the USA.

You can only submit one application to the Green Card DV-lottery as the principal applicant during any given Diversity Visa DV-lottery year. You will be disqualified if you choose to send more than one application during the same DV-lottery year. However, your legal spouse can submit an application during the year as described above.

Each year the US State Department announces the official dates and the list of eligible countries for the Diversity Visa DV-lottery just before the registration period.

In the past years, the Green Card DV-lottery took place during the months of October-November.

In the past years, the results of the Green Card DV-lottery were announced at the beginning of May. The results are published on the US State Department’s website. The US State Department, however, does not contact the participants to let them know whether they have won or not. In the case you choose to become a client of the USA Green Card Bureau Organization, we will keep you informed about your winning status so we can begin to prepare for the next step of the process, the Consular Interview.

Approximately 10-15 million people from around the globe register each year to participate in the annual DV-lottery as principal applicants.

Approximately 80,000 to 100,000 winners are randomly selected by the computer each year for the opportunity to apply for the Diversity Visa.

For instance, in 2018, 14,352,013 individuals registered for the DV-lottery. Out of those, 87,610 were selected to apply for one of the 50,000 Diversity Visas and Green Cards issued by the US State Department every year.
