What You Need to Know About the Green Card Lottery

In the United States, a green card is one of the most important things to have.

You should expect to be taken advantage of if you don't have one. If someone says you have to pay a fee, they are trying to take advantage of you. Don't ever offer to pay for a chance to win a green card. You don't have to pay to play the lottery, and the winners are chosen at random. It doesn't immediately make you a citizen either. Only the lottery lets you sign up. The U.S. government will decide if you can stay or not.

Usually, you can sign up between October and December, but you should check with the State Department to find out about future lotteries.
