The chances of winning a Green Card

Up to 40 % of all Green Card Lottery participants are disqualified due to errors in the application process. This is just one of the reasons why you should prefer to apply for the Green Card with the help of The American Dream's USA experts. We explain all the advantages of a Green Card agency.

Advantages of the leading Green Card agency

Your success in the Green Card Lottery stands and falls with your application in due form and time. Many participants have failed in this first important step towards obtaining a Green Card - either due to ignorance or unnecessary mistakes.

To guarantee your error-free Green Card application, The American Dream's government-licensed immigration consultants double-check your application documents and advise you personally before and after you win your Green Card.

Thanks to The American Dream's Green Card services, you can sit back, relax, and dream in peace about where you want to move to in the United States.

Chances of winning the Green Card Lottery

According to our long-term in-house analyses, the chances of winning a Green Card are currently about 1:25 to 1:75 (depending on the region you live in) – for Europeans, most recently about 1:45. This means that approximately every 45th participant actually wins a Green Card.

Since Green Card applications must be submitted online only, the overall number of applicants worldwide has declined. 

Avoid mistakes in the Green Card Lottery

The self-made mistakes of Green Card Lottery participants cause up to 40 % of all applicants to be disqualified each year. In addition to formal errors and sloppy mistakes in the application, this is often due to non-compliant passport photos.

The problem is that the US authorities do not inform disqualified applicants whether and why they have been eliminated from the Green Card Lottery. As a result, many participants make the same mistakes year after year without even realizing it.

This is where The American Dream comes in:

The USA experts at The American Dream personally review each Green Card Lottery application multiple times to eliminate mistakes and get the most out of each application.

This allows us to guarantee each customer's participation in the Lottery on time and in the correct form. With almost 30 years of experience in US immigration, we are always at your side and happy to guide you through the entire Green Card process even after you have won.

Winner statistics from The American Dream

Once again, approximately 50 % of all Green Card winners from Germany participated with the help of The American Dream. You can find more information about our service under Services & Costs.

Doubled Green Card chances for families

Although multiple entries are not permitted in the Green Card Lottery, there is a clever trick for married couples: winning the Green Card Lottery entitles the spouse to a Green Card as well. Therefore, both partners can participate at the same time, thus doubling the chances of winning for the whole family.

Also, unmarried children under the age of 21 automatically acquire the right to a Green Card if one parent wins.

Guaranteed participation and certification

We guarantee your participation in the US Green Card Lottery! Our qualified staff carefully and manually double-check every application. After submitting your Green Card application to the US authorities in due form and time, we will send you a certificate confirming your participation in the Green Card Lottery.
