You can get permanent legal resident status in the United States via DV lottery which is carried out each year. As a green card holder you will be entitled to enter, work and live in the United States of America. In order to get a passport, there are various ways verified under the Immigration laws of the U.S.

What is Diversity Lottery?
You can get passport via the DV (Diversity Visa) lottery program. The program is conducted each year and 50,000 passport are given to applicants selected randomly. There are simple, but strict eligibility criteria set to apply for the Diversity Visa lottery program.

There are only a few countries whose citizens are eligible to participate in the program. The eligible country is the country where you were born and not the one where you live currently or have lived. The next eligibility criterion is the education of the applicant. The applicant must hold a high school diploma or its equivalent.

Many people wonder why many countries are not eligible to participate in the DV lottery. The reason for this is that if large numbers of people from a country immigrate to the United States, the country becomes ineligible. If the number of people migrating to the US under the Family and Employment Visa exceed from 50,000 in the last 5 years from a country, it becomes ineligible for the year's lottery program under the U.S Immigration laws.

Why Should You Get A Green Card?
When you get a passport under the DV lottery program, you will be eligible to apply for the financial aid program for education, granted by the federal government. You will also become eligible to pay fewer amounts of college/university fees, which are mainly known as "resident" tuition or "in-state" tuition fees. Also, your savings increase at least 3 to 4 times more than what foreigners save.

Another lucrative fact is that you will be allowed to work at any location in the U.S, regardless of the nature of job. However, there are certain restrictions where companies only hire U.S citizens. Moreover, you will not have to worry about employer sponsorship as well. There are certain jobs that need security clearance and are only offered to U.S citizens and passport holders. Hence, with a green card, you can access a range of opportunities in the United States of America.
