FAQ about the USA GREEN CARD LOTTERY
Can everyone participate in the USA Green Card Lottery?
No. In order to participate in Green Card USA Lottery you must be a native
of a country that appears on the list of qualifying countries and must meet
the minimum requirements concerning education/occupational training or employment status.

Why natives of certain countries can’t qualify for Green Card USA
Lottery Program?
Every year the US State Department issues a list of countries that are non-eligible for the Green Card USA program. Non-eligible countries are defined as those from which the United States has received more than 50,000 immigrants during the past five years. Every year the list changes. You can check your eligibility for free on this site.  (editor's note: Try the homegame and come back and try again next year!)

What can I do if I was born in a country that does not appear on the list
of countries qualifying for USA Green Card Lottery?
In such a case, you can participate by presenting a country of a different citizenship than the one you were born in. This is possible if your spouse or
both of your parents were born in a country that appears on the list of qualifying countries.

Can a husband and wife file Green Card USA application separately?
Absolutely. It’s enough for one to meet the requirements, to submit two separate applications. If one of the two will be drawn in the lottery, the other spouse will be eligible for green card USA. (editor's note: LOOPHOLE # 2!)

What is the minimum age to participate in the US Green Card Lottery Program?
There is no minimum age, but there is the requirement to complete high school
or to have work experience. Thus, the program is designated for 18 year olds
and up.

Does the US State Department get USA Green Card Lottery Applications all the year round?
No, the US State Department receives applications for the USA Green Card Lottery during a specify time period. But you do not need to worry about the submission period. Using the Usafis Organization services we will ensure your Green Card application is submitted on time. (editor's note:Don't worry about the rules, we'll work around them for you...that way, when you get here, we'll work around everything you're used to in your homeland and here can be just like there, but you'll have freedom to boss around those who were already here!)

Does participation using the on-line system ensure winning or increase the chances of winning Green Card USA?
No. The service and the online system is designed to assist you in preparing the application, helping people with no scanner to scan their photos, ensures that the application is submitted online to the dedicated State Department website at the submission period and more. The use of the Usafis Organization services is at your discretion. The service confirms that you meet the minimum requirements; that the information on the application is complete. The objective of the service is to reduce the number of disqualified green card applications (in a previous Green Card Lottery program, 3 million forms were disqualified out of 10 million forms that were sent, due to format and details errors) (editor's note:  That's right, too many people were screwing up and we don't want to make sure your application gets thrown out for the same reason!).   You must remember that only online submissions will be made possible in a dedicated State Department website - no offline forms and/or applications are required.
