Green Card Lottery.
Green card lottery program is conducted annually by the U.S Department of State (DOS) to issue 50,000 immigrant visas for the eligible lucky winners. The greencard lottery is operated through the KCC. Diversity visa lottery program is the official name of the so called greencard lottery program.
Green Card lottery is designed to offer immigrant visas to the people from those countries which are sending less people to the U.S.A within the last 5 years. This is the simplest and easiest way to immigrate legally to live and work in the U.S.A with minimum education and in short period of time.
Many other USA visas offer you the same chance to live and work in the U.S.A, but they will take a long time to accomplish your ambition. Earlier this greencard lottery program did accepted entries for the program through paper entries. In the recent years it has changed to electronic application form and those who want to apply for the green card lottery program must go to the American Government's official DV Lottery web site and have to fill the E-DV entry form to participate in the U.S visa lottery.

The Green card application forms will be available in the American Government's official web site for a period of 60 days. The opening and closing of this web site will be announced by the U.S State department to the general public. An eligible person can submit only one entry for the Greencard lottery each year till he wins it. Married person must include his spouse and eligible children in the Green card lottery application form along with their individual image files. Failure will result in rejection from the Greencard lottery program.
