US Green Card Lottery for Brazilian citizens

Updated on Jan 02, 2024

If you’ve ever dreamed of immersing yourself in the dynamic lifestyle of the United States, where you can enjoy the artistic vibe of cities like New Orleans and access top-tier healthcare systems, the Green Card Lottery is one of the ways you can turn this dream into reality.

The Green Card Lottery, formally known as the Diversity Visa Program, offers a path for Brazilians to immigrate to the United States (under specific conditions). This isn't just any lottery; it's a process filled with specific details and potential pitfalls. Each year, numerous hopefuls miss out on this opportunity due to minor errors in their applications. Adding to the challenge, the US government doesn’t provide feedback on why applications are rejected.

We’re here to ensure that doesn’t happen to you. We know how important this opportunity is and how detailed the application needs to be. Our team goes through every application with a fine-tooth comb to ensure it ticks all the boxes required by the US government. With iVisa, your pathway to a new life in the United States is not only clearer but within your grasp.

Are Brazilian citizens eligible for the Green Card Lottery?

If you're a Brazilian citizen by birth, you are generally not eligible to participate in the Green Card Lottery.

This is because Brazil falls into the category of countries from which more than 50,000 nationals have migrated to the United States in the past five years. The Green Card Lottery is designed to diversify the immigrant population in the US, and thus excludes countries with high rates of immigration to the States.

It's important to note that this list isn't fixed and changes from year to year, but countries like Canada, China, India, Mexico, and the United Kingdom are consistently excluded due to their high immigration numbers.

However, Brazilian nationals may still be eligible for the Green Card Lottery under two specific conditions:

  1. Marriage to a native from an eligible country: If your spouse was born in a country with low immigration rates to the US, you could apply under your spouse’s country of birth. Both you and your spouse need to be listed on the application, qualify for, and be issued diversity visas, and you must enter the US together.

  2. Parental birthplace: If you were born in Brazil but neither of your parents was born or legally resided there at the time of your birth, you might be eligible under the country of birth of one of your parents, as long as it's a country eligible for the Green Card Lottery.

For Brazilians who do not meet these criteria, there are other ways to legally move to the U.S. Applying for different types of immigrant visas is one option. Alternatively, for shorter stays like business trips or tourism, the B1/B2 Visa is a practical choice. This visa is a multiple-entry visa valid for 10 years, offering flexibility for shorter visits to the United States.
