Green Card Lottery

[SuperDJ 0]

I have try many times to move to the USA from my native country of England. Due to being a British passport holder I have never been allowed to apply for a work visa… until now that is! 
 

British passport holders have finally been allowed to enter the green card lottery for the 2025 draw. My question is this, how many paces are there on the lottery and what are my chances of being selected? Any help or advice no matter how cutting it maybe will be appreciated.

They could enter last year as well. 

 

Chances are pretty much negligible, in fact results from last year show that nobody from the UK was selected at all last year. But you may as well enter and give it a try!

 

What do you mean you've never been allowed to apply for a work visa? Being British doesn't preclude that? 

 

Good luck.

A maximum of 55,000 diversity visas are issued every year worldwide, and millions of people apply, so your chances are slim.

Actually it doesn't matter which passport you hold and how many citizenships you hold now. What really matters is whether you were born in the UK or other eligibile country.
