How To Win The Green Card Lottery?

Can illegal immigrant win US green card lottery and re enter us?

  • Hi, i have a question, i had enterd us illegal, back in 2002, i was 11 years old at the time and was with my family.shortly after we lost our asylm case we decided to leave usa in 2008 because there was no chance to stay there anymore, at least legally, and i haven't been in US since. i never recieved a deportation order, we just decided to leave. My question is if i win the us green card lottery do you think i would be able to recieve the green card or no? im 21 years old, and would like to go back legally but i feel like i never got a chance since my parents decided to come here illegaly. Any answer helps, thanks.

  • Answer:

    A rough guesstimate at your timeline suggest you left the US at the age of 17, before you turn 18 1/2. If this is the case then you do not have a ban against and if your win the DV lottery then you would be able to take the Green Card. The "We" to this question is puzzling. Your parents are subjected to a 10 year ban from returning, there is no waiver. They are not eligible to return until 2028 and thus no GC for them. You need to apply for the DV Lottery on your own.

Yes, if you win in the Green Card lottery, you would be eligible to return. If you get married 'til then, your wife would get a Green Card as well. Your parents triggered the bar, depending on how long they overstayed: 180 days a 3-year bar, from 1 year on a 10-year bar. If you become a resident, you can become a U.S. citizen 5 years later. At that time you can petition for your parents as immediate relatives of yours. If the bar is served, they would get Green Cards as well.

Doubt it if you entered the US illegally then left you blown your chances quite alot still you could get lucky.

Yes. If you left before you turned 18, you have not accrued any unlawful presence. But there is a long waiting list.
