Do you want to live in the United States?
It may seem too good to be true but every year the USA does a lottery and grants 50,000 Green Cards (residency permits) to registered applicants.
The United States government offers 50,000 visas to foreigners so that they can become legal permanent residents of the country.
This visa lottery, known as the Diversity Immigration Visa Program (DV-2015) is open from October to November. The first year it was open from October 1st 2013-November 2nd 2013. During this time the government accepts applications from any country except:
- BANGLADESH
- BRAZIL
- CANADA
- CHINA (continental)
- COLOMBIA
- DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
- ECUADOR
- EL SALVADOR
- HAITI
- INDIA
- JAMAICA
- MEXICO
- NIGERIA
- PAKISTAN
- PERU
- THE PHILIPPINES
- SOUTH KOREA
- THE UK (and its dependent territories except Northern Ireland)
- VIETNAM
* Foreigners born in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao may apply.
Citizens from excluded countries may apply if they have dual nationality in a country that does not appear on the list or if they are married to a citizen of a country that does not appear on the exclusion list above.
Also, if any of you are originally from countries that appear on the exclusion list but have obtained Spanish nationality, then you may apply as well!
Requirements:
You must have a high school education or its equivalent. This means that you have completed a 12-year course of both elementary and secondary education.
You must have worked for at least two years in the last five years in a job that requires at least two years of previous experience or training.
Applicants who have a previous criminal record or who have resided in the USA illegally could be disqualified depending on the nature of the crime or the amount of time they´ve spent illegally in the country.
Last years applicants were randomly selected on May 10th 2014. Those who were selected then proceeded to request the corresponding long-stay residence permit/ Green Card application after October 1st 2014.
Along with the application you must submit a letter with a job offer from a North American company. The position must be in accordance with your previous professional experience.
