Green Card Lottery Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Millions of applications are rejected by the government due to mistakes that could have been easily avoided. So here is a list of Green Card Lottery tips to help avoid rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Don\u2019t apply for the program more than once. (If you do, your application will be rejected).<\/li>
  2. Don\u2019t provide wrong information or worse, lie about your current situation.<\/li>
  3. Don\u2019t provide incorrect photos. (Your application could be rejected).<\/li>
  4. Don\u2019t let somebody else store the confirmation number for you. (Please store your confirmation number properly without which you can\u2019t check the results).<\/li>
  5. Don\u2019t believe anybody or any website that says they guarantee a win for a price. (It is an automated system that chooses winners so anybody saying that is cheating you).<\/li>
  6. The official DV lottery site is https:\/\/dvprogram.state.gov. If any other website is claiming to be the official website \u201cDO NOT USE IT\u201d. They are trying to scam you. There are legit sites that help people with the application such as\u00a0www.usagreencardlottery.org<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>
  7. The Government site tends to slow down in the last few days due to high traffic to the site. So don\u2019t wait till the last minute to submit your application. Complete as soon as possible.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
