If you're planning to enter the US Green Card Lottery, you have just one chance each year to apply, so it's essential to get it right.
However, the application process is strict, with no room for error. Many from Ireland face rejection due to minor mistakes, and with no explanation provided, they're left without insights into what went wrong with their application.
We understand the ins and outs of the US Green Card Lottery process and can help you avoid the pitfalls that lead to rejection. With our help, your American dream is closer to becoming an attainable goal.
Are Irish citizens eligible for the Green Card Lottery?
Yes, Irish citizens can take part in the Green Card Lottery.
The Green Card Lottery, known formally as the Diversity Visa Program, is an annual opportunity for foreign citizens looking to relocate to the United States. There are 55,000 visas available each year to individuals from countries with historically low US immigration rates, like Ireland.
In recent years, the number of Irish citizens selected for this opportunity has been quite small, with only 17 individuals (13 from the Republic of Ireland and 4 from Northern Ireland) being chosen from over 9.5 million qualified entries in 2023. Historically, the number has been higher, indicating a downward trend in successful applications from Ireland.
Winning a green card can be life-changing; it offers Irish citizens the chance to live, work, and study in the United States, and it paves the way to permanent residency and eventual citizenship.
