Instruction manual

Getting green cards through winning the lottery. Every fall, the US government holds a lottery for those wishing to live and work in America. And there are many who wish. The number of applications is growing year by year. Of the several million applications, ultimately only 55 thousand lucky ones will be selected. The official website where you can fill out an application absolutely free of charge is http://dvlottery.state.gov/ This can be done only on strictly agreed dates. Usually it takes 1-2 months (October, November).
Winning the lottery does not mean automatically receiving a green card. You have to collect the necessary documents, go through a medical examination, an interview at the embassy, confirm your financial viability, or, more simply, if you have enough money for the first time you live. And only after that you can order plane tickets and go overseas.

Getting green cards through marriage with a US citizen is a very popular way. On the Web you can find a huge number of dating sites where Americans for one reason or another are looking for a wife from the CIS countries. If you have made a choice and are determined now to connect your fate with a person from another country, and you and your groom need to collect documents. Then you will be interviewed at the embassy, while providing documentary evidence of your relationship with your future husband: joint photographs, letters, telephone bills, plane tickets, etc. You need to convince the embassy employee that your intentions are serious and your feelings will not cool off as soon as you step on the land of America.

Getting green cards as a refugee is also a popular way, especially if you live in areas where military operations are carried out from time to time (for example, in the North Caucasus). Either you are being persecuted for your political or religious views. You can apply for refugee status only while in America. Naturally, hardly anyone will believe you that you are persecuted and persecuted in your homeland. So you have to stock up on evidence.

You can also get a green card if your close relatives live in the USA. You can apply for a family reunion, go through the usual procedures for collecting documents, interviewing at the embassy and becoming the owner of a plastic card.
note
Although you can live and work in the United States with a plastic card with virtually no restrictions, remember that you can lose your green card if you are too often out of office for too long.
