How to apply for the Green Card Lottery for UK citizens

Applying for the Diversity Visa Lottery is time-sensitive and typically open from October to November. Unfortunately, our services, which allow you to apply anytime, as we'll submit your application during the registration period, are currently unavailable for UK citizens.

That said, we can share our knowledge on how to apply. To apply for the Green Card Lottery as a UK citizen, you will need to:

1. Complete the application form on the US government website.

2. Wait for the results of the lottery. US authorities usually announce them in May.

3. If selected, you must undergo a medical exam and gather documents to prove your eligibility.

4. Attend the visa appointment with all the required documentation and undergo a visa interview.

5. If approved, you receive your visa in your passport and a sealed immigrant packet to embark on your journey to the United States.

If you're just looking to visit the US for a short time and don't want the hassle of applying for the Green Card Lottery, we can also help you apply for your US ESTA. Just click below!
