GreenCard Application

Green Card Application Conditions and Basic Requirements:

What You Need to Know to Start a New Life

If you aspire to permanently settle in America and start a new life in this country, applying for a Green Card can be a significant opportunity for you. However, to seize this opportunity, you must fulfill certain conditions.

Certain conditions must be met to participate in the DV Lottery. Firstly, participants must have a nationality. The program allocates quotas to specific nationality groups each year and may limit the participation of some countries. Additionally, applicants may be required to meet specific educational or experiential requirements. The applicant must also be within a certain age range. These conditions may change annually, so it is important to check the current requirements before applying.

In summary, the general conditions are as follows:

• -An individual has the right to apply once in each lottery year. Spouses can apply separately.
• -Renewing the application with updated photos each year will reduce the risk of elimination.
• -Natives of countries with historically low immigration rates to the United States are eligible to apply.

If you are not a native of a low-immigration country, you may still be eligible in two ways:

1. 1)Is your spouse a native of a low-immigration country? If yes, you can apply with your spouse's country of birth, provided you are selected, and you both enter the United States together.
2. 2)If neither of your parents was born or legally resided in the country of your birth at the time of your birth, you can apply using the country of birth of one of your parents.

Every DV applicant must meet the education/work experience requirement of the DV program and can fulfill this by providing one of the following:

• -Completion of formal elementary and secondary education equivalent to at least a high school education; OR
• -Two years of work experience within the last five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience. The determination of suitable work experience will be made using the U.S. Department of Labor's O*Net Online database. https://www.onetonline.org/find/all

If you do not meet both requirements, you should refrain from applying to the DV program.
