DV Lottery: Can Ghanaian citizens apply for the Green Card Lottery?

Yes, Ghana is one of the eligible countries for the Diversity Visa Lottery. This program aims to diversify the immigrant population in the United States by offering 55,000 visas annually to nationals from countries with historically low immigration rates to the U.S. It's a beacon of hope for those seeking new beginnings in a land of opportunity.

However, being selected in the lottery doesn't automatically guarantee a visa. Selected applicants must attend a visa interview and submit the necessary documentation. The final visa issuance is at the discretion of the U.S. authorities.

But don’t worry! By applying with us, you’ll receive a detailed manual guide with all the information you need for a smooth application process.

The application period for this visa typically runs between October and November on the US government website. However, with us, Ghanaian citizens can apply anytime. We securely store your application and submit it when the U.S. government opens the next registration period, ensuring you avoid the stress of last-minute rushes.

Applying for the Diversity Visa Lottery through our platform is easy and quick. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
