The "American Dream" can become a reality for almost any person. The annual lottery held by the US government provides an opportunity to live and work in this country. Millions of people participate in the lottery, hoping to get the desired document. But hundreds of thousands of applications are screened out due to their incorrect design, depriving their owners of the possibility of winning.

Instruction manual
1
The rules of the lottery practically do not change, however, from time to time, small changes are made to them. The official website contains the text of the rules of the next lottery in several languages. Carefully read the instructions for filling out the application.

The lottery is not held all year round, but only in October and November, so it is important to catch up 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 with access to the site. To avoid difficulties, do not postpone filling out the questionnaire until the last day.

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 name of the spouse (or spouse), children. Prepare photos. Photo requirements are quite strict. Often the wrong size or the wrong position of the head in the photo is the reason for rejecting the application. Print out your photo requirements and go with them to your city’s photo shop. A professional photo, taking into account all the requirements, will exclude the disqualification of the application. Whatever you 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.

Spouses can double their chances of winning if everyone fills out an application. Double-check the entered information, but at the same time remember that a limited amount of time is given for registration. Write down the control number that will be issued after filling out the questionnaire. This number will be needed when checking the winnings. If the system did not give you the control number, then your application has not been accepted. Try sending it again.

After about six months, at the time announced by the organizers of the lottery, check the results. If you win, you need to prepare for an interview at the US Embassy. Approximately 50% of the winners are eliminated at the stage of collecting and preparing documents.

Pass a medical examination (this should be done for all family members), get a certificate of good conduct, a bank statement, enlist the written support of friends or relatives - US citizens, prepare education certificates, military ID, and birth certificate.

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 tickets and go to the USA, where after about a month you will receive a green card.
