US Green Card Lottery for Irish citizens
iVisa
3 min read
Updated on Mar 26, 2024

If you're planning to enter the US Green Card Lottery, you have just one chance each year to apply, so it's essential to get it right.

However, the application process is strict, with no room for error. Many from Ireland face rejection due to minor mistakes, and with no explanation provided, they're left without insights into what went wrong with their application.

Fill me in

We understand the ins and outs of the US Green Card Lottery process and can help you avoid the pitfalls that lead to rejection. With our help, your American dream is closer to becoming an attainable goal.

Are Irish citizens eligible for the Green Card Lottery?

Yes, Irish citizens can take part in the Green Card Lottery.

The Green Card Lottery, known formally as the Diversity Visa Program, is an annual opportunity for foreign citizens looking to relocate to the United States. There are 55,000 visas available each year to individuals from countries with historically low US immigration rates, like Ireland.

In recent years, the number of Irish citizens selected for this opportunity has been quite small, with only 17 individuals (13 from the Republic of Ireland and 4 from Northern Ireland) being chosen from over 9.5 million qualified entries in 2023. Historically, the number has been higher, indicating a downward trend in successful applications from Ireland.

Winning a green card can be life-changing; it offers Irish citizens the chance to live, work, and study in the United States, and it paves the way to permanent residency and eventual citizenship.

Increase your chances of winning the Green Card Lottery: How to enter with us

The registration period for the Green Card Lottery falls within a similar timeframe each year, which is between October and November. Late entries are not accepted and submitting multiple entries is a sure way to get disqualified.

We can help you make the most of your entry. When you use our platform, you can apply at any time of the year, and we'll save your application and submit it when the registration period opens. We also provide a simplified version of the application form that’s easy to understand and follow.

Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1: Enter your personal and travel details on our website or via the iVisa app.

  • Step 2: Verify that all the information you’ve provided is accurate. Pay the service fee with a credit or debit card, PayPal, or Venmo.

  • Step 3: Complete the rest of the application form, upload the required documents, and submit it.

Once you’re done, we’ll review your application to make sure it’s complete and accurate before submitting it. You’ll receive a confirmation number, which you’ll use to check if you’re selected from May of the following year on the Electronic Diversity Program website.

US embassy in Ireland

If you’re one of the Green Card Lottery winners, your journey continues with applying for the green card. Part of this process is the visa interview, which takes place at the US embassy in Dublin. This embassy is also your resource for any consular assistance you may need.

Address: 42 Elgin Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin, Ireland

Phone: +353 1 668 8777
