Green Card Lottery despite Corona crisis?

It is an uncertain time, and the world is struggling to cope with the effects of the Coronavirus, although the situation is slowly returning to normality in many countries. Below, you will find an overview of the impact of the Corona crisis on Green Card holders, Green Card winners, and USA travelers!

Does the Green Card Lottery DV-2024 take place?

Yes, the Green Card Lottery DV-2024 will be held this year as usual.

Especially in times like these, the importance of the Green Card becomes evident. Since Green Card holders have almost all the rights of a US citizen, they may continue to travel to the United States despite crisis-related entry bans.

Were Green Card winners drawn last year despite the Corona crisis?

Yes, all participants of the last Green Card Lottery could breathe a sigh of relief, because the lottery draw was not affected by the current corona crisis and was simply postponed by the US authorities by one month. If you participated in the Green Card Lottery with THE AMERICAN DREAM, we have checked your status as usual and already informed you about your result.

Restrictions in the USA due to the Coronavirus

To contain and combat the increase of COVID-19 cases, the US government decided to ban non-Americans from 33 countries from entering the country in 2020, which also affected the Schengen area until November 8th, 2021.

However, the so-called Corona Travel Ban never applied to Green Card holders. Effective November 8th, 2021, the US government finally lifted the Corona Travel Ban for all travelers with full Corona vaccination.

The Green Card is crisis-proof

As a Green Card holder, you have almost all the rights of a US citizen. That's why the in-demand US immigrant visa is still the safest way to live and work in the US indefinitely and worry-free.

The easiest way to obtain a Green Card is through the annual Green Card Lottery, in which the US government gives away 55,000 US immigrant visas to participants from around the world.

Signing up for the Green Card Lottery takes just a few minutes and, if you're lucky, will save you years of paperwork with US authorities and potential employers.
