To participate in the lottery

The 2021 green card lottery (DV-Lottery) will be open from 2 October at noon (EDT) to 5 November 2019 noon (EDT), according to the US State Department. This lottery will be available on the State Department's Office of Consular Affairs website. 55,000 people will be selected.

Once again, beware of scams. The "DV-Lottery" is free. There is only one official site to participate: the State Department (listed above and in box). Any site that asks you for money for registration or promises you a green card is a scam.

To participate, you must be a national of one of the eligible countries or be married to a citizen of one of these countries. France is one of them. Other conditions: have a high school diploma or have worked in the last five years a professional activity for two years that requires at least two years of training. Candidates will then have to enter some summary information (such as name and date of birth) and a photo ID. New this year: you will also need to provide your passport number, the country of issue and the expiry date of the passport.

Multiple registrations will be automatically eliminated.

As a reminder, the selection in the lottery does not guarantee you a green card.
