DV Lottery: Can I apply for the Green Card Lottery as a citizen of Russia?

Yes, they can. Participating in the Diversity Visa Lottery is a great opportunity for Russian citizens who wish to live in America. This program is a lottery; if selected, you can get a Green Card to become a legal U.S. resident.

Despite sanctions imposed on the Russian government, citizens born in Russia are still eligible to participate in the Green Card lottery, but remember that this info can change at any moment.

Through this program, the Department of State selects up to 55,000 random people annually from specific countries to get a Green Card. The goal is to receive more diverse immigrants from countries with a lower immigration rate in the United States.

However, being selected in the lottery doesn't guarantee a visa. Selected applicants must attend a visa appointment and submit the required documents. The U.S. authorities will then make the final decision.
