American Green Card: Diversity Lottery Program
The Diversity Lottery Program helps 50,000 people a year obtain permanent residency (a Green Card) if they are from of a country with low rates of immigration to America.
The program is based around a lottery-style selection process and run by the State Department's National Visa Center. Qualifying entrants selected from the lottery pool will be invited to apply for permanent residence, allowing them to live and work in America permanently.
