The American Dream can become a reality for almost anyone. The annual lottery, run by the US government, gives the opportunity to live and work in this country. Millions of people participate in the lottery hoping to acquire the coveted document. But hundreds of thousands of applications are eliminated due to their incorrect registration, depriving their owners of the opportunity to win.
It is necessary
- - the photo;
- - international passport.
Instructions
Step 1
The lottery rules remain almost unchanged, but from time to time they are slightly changed. The official website contains the text of the rules of the next lottery in several languages. Read the instructions for completing the application carefully.
Step 2
The lottery is not held all year round, but only in October and November, so it is important to be on time. Remember that every day tens and hundreds of thousands of people send their data to participate in the lottery, so there may be problems accessing the site. To avoid difficulties, do not postpone filling out the questionnaire until the last day.
Step 3
When filling out the questionnaire, use only high-quality, high-speed Internet. Prepare in advance all the information you need. Write in English your data from the passport, specify the spelling of the surname and first name of your spouse (or wife), children. Prepare photos. Photo requirements are quite strict. Often times, the wrong size or wrong position of the head in the photograph is the reason for the rejection of the application. Print the photo requirements and go with them to the photo shop in your city. A professional photo, taking into account all the requirements, will exclude the application disqualification. No matter how you would like, do not use retouching - correction of appearance in photo editing programs is prohibited. In this case, you will also not be allowed to participate in the lottery.
Step 4
Spouses can double their chances of winning if everyone completes the application. Double-check the information you enter, but at the same time remember that there is a limited time for registration. Write down the control number that will be issued after completing the questionnaire. You will need this number when checking your winnings. If the system did not give you a control number, then your application was not accepted. Try sending it again.
Step 5
After about six months, check the results within the terms announced by the lottery organizers. If you win, you need to prepare for your interview at the US Embassy. Approximately 50% of the winners are eliminated at the stage of collecting and preparing documents.
Step 6
Pass a medical examination (this must be done by all family members), get a police clearance certificate, a bank statement, get written support from friends or relatives - US citizens, prepare educational documents, military ID, birth certificate.
Step 7
At the interview, try to convince the consul that you are not going to live on unemployment benefits and are able to take care of yourself and your family. As soon as you get a visa, you can buy air tickets and go to the USA, where after about a month you will receive a green card.
