F1 students in the United States often wonder about their eligibility for the Diversity Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery. The answer is yes, F1 students can apply for the Green Card Lottery, provided they meet the general eligibility requirements. These requirements include being a native of a qualifying country and having at least a high school education or its equivalent, or two years of work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience. The application process is entirely online through the official U.S. Department of State website during the specified registration period. It\“s important to note that winning the lottery does not automatically grant a green card; it only makes the applicant eligible to apply for one. F1 students should ensure they maintain their nonimmigrant status throughout the process and consult with an immigration attorney if they have any concerns. |
