GREEN CARD LOTTERY APPLICATION IS NOW PAID #america #usa #greencard #dvlottery

“Big change for the U.S. Green Card Lottery! For the first time ever, starting this year, you’ll need to pay a $1 fee just to enter the Diversity Visa Lottery. Let’s break down what this means, why it’s happening, and how it affects millions of applicants worldwide.” • Until now, entering the Green Card Lottery was completely free. • Beginning October 16, 2025, every applicant must pay a $1 electronic registration fee when submitting their lottery entry. • This is a non-refundable fee and cannot be transferred to future years. • According to the U.S. State Department: 1. It helps cover the administrative costs of running the lottery. With around 25 million entries each year, that’s about $25 million in funding for fraud prevention and processing. 2. It’s meant to reduce fake or fraudulent entries. In the past, people submitted multiple or false applications. By charging even $1, the government hopes to cut down on abuse. • If you’re selected in the lottery, you’ll still need to pay the usual $330 visa processing fee. • The $1 is just for the initial entry — it doesn’t replace or reduce other costs. • Winners still go through background checks, interviews, and must meet all eligibility requirements. • For most, $1 is a small amount — but in some countries, especially with limited banking or online payment access, it could make entry harder. • There may be fewer entries overall, which could slightly improve the odds for genuine applicants. • Some experts wonder if this will actually stop fraud, or if it might unintentionally block people in poorer regions. “So here’s the bottom line: the Green Card Lottery is no longer free. Starting in October 2025, you’ll need to pay $1 per entry. It’s a small fee, but it marks a big shift in how the program is run.
