Increase the chances of winning the Green Card Lottery

Tips to increase the chances of winning the Green Card Lottery

Check this link. This shows the results of DV-2010. It shows the number of countries participated. The figure highlighted next to each country explains the number of people who won the lottery from those countries. If you are wondering about the uneven distribution, I have briefly explained it in my previous post.

Now let me go back to the example of Abeba and Alesio from our last post.

Abeba is born in Ethiopia (eligible country) and married to Alesio who is a native of Italy (eligible country).

Indeed, making two separate applications doubles their chance of winning. But there is something more they can do to increase their chances of winning. That is,

• Click on the DV-2010 link.
• Check out the figure next to Ethiopia. Does it say 5200? Yes, it means 5200 people from Ethiopia won the DV-2010.
• How about Italy? 470

Now, if I were Alesio- I would not apply using Italy as my country of eligibility. I’d apply using my cross chargeability through Abeba. The reason is the figures. America has definitely chosen more Ethiopians over Italians.
