Green Card Lottery Requirements

To be eligible to enter the lottery, you must meet general and education/training requirements. Both are described below.

General Requirements

To enter the lottery, an applicant must be able to claim nativity in an eligible country and must meet either the education or training requirement of the lottery program. Nativity in most cases is determined by the applicant's place of birth. However, if a person was born in an ineligible country but his/her spouse was born in an eligible country, such person can claim the spouse's country of birth rather than his/her own. Also, if a person was born in an ineligible country, but neither of his/her parents was born there or resided there at the time of the birth, such person may be able to claim nativity in one of the parent's country of birth.

For the 2012 Green Card Lottery, natives of the following countries are NOT eligible to apply. LIST OF COUNTRIES NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE

You may still qualify even if you were born in one of the countries listed above. If your spouse was born in an eligible country, then you can claim your spouse's country of birth and be eligible to enter the lottery. If you were born in a country of which neither parent was a native, then you may claim the country of birth of either parent and be eligible to enter the lottery. A short statement explaining how you meet this exception must be included with your application.

Education/Training Requirements

To enter the Green Card Lottery Program an applicant must have EITHER a high school education or its equivalent. An equivalent education is defined in the United States as successful completion of a 12-year course of study including elementary and secondary education; OR two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience to perform.

If you meet the general and education/training requirements, complete your application today! If you do not meet the above requirements, you cannot participate in this year's Green Card Lottery Program.
