The entire DV Immigration Program journey, Step-by-Step

Step 1, Create your account and choose a plan

Open your secure account with US Green Card Office, select the plan that fits your family, and complete payment. You can start in minutes.

Step 2, Complete your application profile

Enter your personal information, name as in passport, date of birth, country of eligibility, marital status, and details for your spouse and all children on the age of 21. We guide you through the entire application process and make sure there are no errors that could cause disqualification. That is our guarantee.

Step 3, Upload your photos for review

Upload a recent photo for each family member. Inside your account you will find a detailed, easy to understand photo guide, plus short video guides you can watch before you upload.

If you upload a photo that cannot be approved, do not worry, we will explain exactly what to fix and we will assist you to upload a compliant photo.. We check background, size, head position, eyes, and compression, and we only approve a photo when it meets the official standard. That is our guarantee.

Step 4, Upload your passport copy for MRZ validation

Add a clear scan of the passport biographic page for every adult applicant. We cross check spelling, middle names, passport number, dates, and the MRZ string. This is the best protection against instant disqualification caused by name or number mismatches. We ensure the application and passport data match exactly.

Step 5, Final compliance check

Our team verifies that your profile, photos, and passport data match exactly. We perform a final compliance review to confirm your details are consistent with your documents, your country of eligibility is correct, your photos and passport data meet the standards, and there is no duplicate entry.

Step 6, Official submission

We handle submission at the correct time, always before any deadline set by the US State Department. We make sure your entire application is correct without any errors before we submit your application.

Step 7, Your confirmation number is issued and stored securely

As soon as a confirmation number is issued, we store it safely in your account. This is your proof that your entry was submitted correctly and accepted by the US state department.

Step 8, Status monitoring and selection alert

When results are released, we monitor your case and alert you immediately. You can also see your status inside your account.

Step 9, DS-260 preparation

When you are selected, we prepare the DS-260 immigrant visa application with you, and we help you avoid delays. Accuracy matters, a single mistake can push your interview back or trigger extra checks. Even worse, if you miss the DS-260 submission deadline, no visa interview will be scheduled.

Step 10, Civil documents and translations

If you have any doubt about which civil documents to prepare and submit to the US State Department, contact our immigration team. We review your civil documents, birth, marriage or divorce records, police certificates, and military records if required, and we confirm when certified translations are needed. We explain exactly how to obtain each document and how to prepare it, so you avoid errors and delays.

Step 11, Medical exam guidance

We guide you on the medical exam process, approved clinics, what to bring, and what to expect. You must book the medical exam yourself in the country where you live. When you receive your medical exam results, we can review them with you if you wish.

Step 12, Interview coaching

You will receive clear coaching for the embassy interview, what to say, what to bring, how to organize your papers, and how to handle common questions. Confidence on the day matters.

Step 13, Interview at the American Embassy

Arrive with a complete, organized file. The consular officer reviews your case and may ask you a few questions. When approved, your passport is kept briefly so the immigrant visa can be printed, then returned to you. In many cases you also receive a sealed packet to carry to the airport for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, some embassies and consulates now send these documents electronically. Your visa is usually valid for up to six months from the date of issuance, or less if your medical examination expires sooner, so plan to travel before the visa expiration date. When you arrive in the United States, the officer at the airport endorses your passport, this endorsement serves as your temporary proof of permanent residence until your physical Green Card is delivered.

Step 14, Arrival and Green Card delivery

Welcome to the United States, your American dream is now real. At your first airport the officer endorses your passport, this endorsement serves as your temporary proof of permanent residence. Your physical Green Card is produced and mailed to your U.S. address soon after.

We stay with you beyond arrival. If you need help with Social Security, opening a bank account, or any practical setup for life in the United States, just contact us. Our guidance after arrival is free of charge, our application fees are all inclusive, no extra fees, no hidden fees.

FAQs about the DV Immigration Program

Is the DV Immigration Program really random?

Yes, selection is random within regional limits, and no service can influence the draw. What we can control is the quality of your entry and the quality of your case after selection.

Do I have to pay the new $1.00 entry fee myself?

No, when you use our service, we include that cost inside your plan, so you do not need to handle any separate payments.

Is passport upload mandatory right now?

Not at this moment, but the United States has moved to require passport information and a passport scan with the entry in the near future. We already require a passport copy so we can protect your case now and be ready when the rule starts.

When can I apply?

You can start today. We accept applications all year, and we make sure entries are submitted on time before any deadline.

Can my spouse also apply?

Yes, if both spouses are eligible, each one can submit once as a main applicant while listing the other as a spouse. When you use our service, you only need to submit one application that includes your spouse, we then prepare and submit two official entries, one for each spouse, giving your family a double chance of being selected. We manage the process and remove the risk of mistakes or duplicate errors.

What if I make a mistake?

If you apply with us, we find and fix mistakes before submission. If you submit on your own and later discover an error, you cannot correct your entry after it has been submitted.
