Granted, there\u2019s tough competition to win a Green Card, but it gives equal opportunities to many low-migration countries from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When applying, you have two main options: a Paid or Free Green Card Lottery program. But which is better? Read on for some tips, before you make your decision on which program to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applying for Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants can register for free using the US Government\u2019s website. Going down this route means filling in the paperwork, obtaining photos, preparing for your interview, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the surface, it\u2019s not difficult to put a Green Card Lottery application together. After all, you just need your personal information and some photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s easy to make mistakes when you\u2019re not completely sure what you\u2019re doing. This can render your application invalid, meaning you Will be disqualified and you have to wait until the next Diversity Visa Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common problem is photos. As with passport photos, the criteria are very strict, and the Green Card Lottery Program will discard applications that don\u2019t match perfectly. On average, around 65% of applications are discarded because of errors in the application or incorrect photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applying using the Paid Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many applicants can register for the lottery themselves for free at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US Government website<\/a> during the very limited 30-day only open registration period, there are several good reasons to use a professional lottery service like <strong>US Green Card Office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one, applicants can use our value-added professional lottery service any time of year (open 365 days a year) and not scramble with changing dates. This makes a massive difference because, as mentioned, the government\u2019s application window is very slim. Using <strong>US Green Card Office<\/strong> means you can take your time getting your information together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, our paid professional service ensures a 100% error-free application before it\u2019s submitted to the US Government. Considering the number of applications thrown out for minor errors, having a team of experts behind you massively improves your chances of being successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your application does get picked, we can even help you prepare for your interview by explaining what to take, where to go, and what to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, if all goes to plan, we can help you arrange passage to the United States. It includes transport for you, your immediate family, pets, and furniture. Considering this, it makes sense to use a service like <strong>US Green Card Office<\/strong>. You can even add <a href=\"https:\/\/support.usgreencardoffice.com\/hc\/en-gb\/articles\/203652072-What-is-the-Free-Flights-Free-Movement-Additional-offers-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">airline ticket insurance<\/a> to your application when you apply for a small extra fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in most cases, just the convenience of letting someone else notify you if you win (and keep your confirmation number safe) are sufficient reasons to use our value-added service. We\u2019re experts in Green Card Lottery applications, and we have assisted over 400,000 people moving to the United States since 1998. Our all-inclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/support.usgreencardoffice.com\/hc\/en-gb\/articles\/202623761-What-plan-should-i-choose-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">application fees start from $80.00<\/a>, a small price to pay to get the best chance of being selected.
