How The Green Card Lottery Actually Works | CNBC
One of my best friends’ family won the green card lottery 20 years ago. Today her dad works as an engineer, her mom is the CEO of a company and her and her sister are studying at really prestigious colleges. And what matters even more is that they’re the most humble, helpful and kindest people I’ve ever met. They were not born here in the US but I know they love this country more than the majority of Americans. Not every single immigrant is a good person, but neither are all Americans. But saying that this lottery brings the worst of the worst people here is the biggest exaggeration and lie ever.
good comment
love your mindset and your comment , am from the middle east I swear that I love really USA more than some of the us individuals , it reached to a level when I say for them I really love USA , they just begin to criticize me and saying for me that I'm thinking in such ridiculous way !!! and by the way am MUSLIM and we are all brothers ,, the opposite what media is faking ,,,,,, unfortunately ,,,,,,,
from Jordan all respect
Tell me? Whats an immigrant? Someone that aint wait? USA is based off immigrants lol
Of course. From their perspective they probably left a worst country and achieved the American dream. It's not as rosy for some others.
wrong read his point clearly he did not say all lottery winners are the worst people but he said the worst people come from lotteries which is true they ruin the chances for all foreigners to move to the US just like this clown who created chaos in NJ
It always takes that 1 person to ruin it for everyone.
that "1 person" just increased the chances for your safety
@@KevinBolsajian by what fraction of 1% are we talking about?
@siu baek 1%?
Sad reality.
dman light
I know so many people from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan who won the lottery and they work as IT-specialists, constructors etc. They are decent people and they lead a life of a level they would never achieve in their countries. You can't say all the emmigrants are garbage just because one of them is...besides there are not prooves that he came here with lottery, maybe it just a reason to harden entering US. . .
if you change the lottery to a point system, those people would still be eligible to get a permanent living permit. however its not based on luck but rather on what the US need.
He came throgh a study visa as i remember
China’s population is 1.4 billion , India's population - 1.3 billion. This means almost all immigrants will be either Chinese or Indian, just because of their rate in the total population.
If you're IT-Specialist you don't need this lotery. You can find a job anywhere you want
United states of america is a country of imigrants....
my friend won the green card lottery 6 years ago, today has his own house and He owns a $100,000 car and is a professional cameraman.
Green Card is very good thing
Visa issuers are already reviewing everything.
I won The Green Card Lottery 11 years ago. Am hard working man 7 days a week. Without The Green Card Lottery program I never able to come to United State. Thank to lottery VISA program. I don't care what other peoples say. They are helping me find better place
You won the lottery 11 years ago and you still speak broken English. No wonder Trump said they are the worst of the worst people.

I like the idea of a merit based immigration program...
Rick Sanchez We already have a merit based visa for workers, called EB-1, EB-2,and EB-3. Quit watching fox news and do some actual research.
You don't understand what a merit based visa means. But thanks for the lecture, it is not like I was born in the USA, and had to do my own paperwork because I was not allowed to work and couldn't hire a lawyer and did it myself... by accident of birth I was born in a shithole country but I choose not to be defined by this fate.
We are what we choose to be Mr. Peter... by all means keep on watching CNN and see where socialism takes you. I have already come and gone as far as a socialism in a country goes... I wish you experience it first hand and drown and its misery as least as much as my countrymen do, thanks to people who know nothing of what they are talking about...
I watch the Simpsons on fox though, have a good day.
That should be the only criteria.
Mirza Ahmed Why should it be the only criteria?
Rick Sanchez Like I said we already have a merit based visa system. Trump didn't invent the idea.
I got in with DV lottery and I run my own company with my 5 employees. I work hard and I want this country to appreciate my efforts.
you will prosper, good luck.
My mom once won the Green Card Lottery, and shes living a happy life in Florida.
I'm happy.
Are you living in Florida as well?
@@ad9633 Well, duh.
@@defanserb well you said she not we, so i thought only she was living there.
The worst of the worst? My mother is an engineer who works very hard and has been harassed over and over at the work place. She also is a business woman and practices a bit of architecture. We’ve been applying for 2 years, and nothing. this is the second year we’re applying. Hopefully it works out. My country’s economy is dying and guess who gets to benefit from it ? The U.S and many other leading countries. My country is one of the main petroleum world providers. But they would rather see my people famished and slaughtered in order to get petroleum at a cheaper price. We’re only trying to get a better life. With my mother’s skills, she could very much help the economy. She’s applied for every way to get a green card. Even applying for the one Melania Trump got, the einstein visa. How is It that a model gets one of those and a woman (my mother) who is educated, with experience and knowledge, can’t even get considered for it? She even speaks 9 languages. But can hardly get an email back from American companies jobs she applies for. She’s over qualified. But no, WE ARE THE WORST OF THE WORST. Thanks tho
Maybe look at other countries us govt is a mess
Are you from Venezuela??
Canada would gladly welcome your mom
We’re are you from, that’s maybe the reason. When Trump was President, immigration and attitudes changed, they only want White Europeans or White Latinos to come to America.
Move to other countries U.S is full of racists
The lottery represents hope for those of us who wasn't fortunate enough to be rich or stand living there in extremely unfair conditions anymore.
SlowFox your ancestors weren't entitled too

Mohamed Algml and left you speechless
Where r u from bro
Mohamed Algml Trump is a joke, these terrorist attacks are almost nothing compared to other social crimes that exist in the states due to drugs and illegal weapons found with perverts and non terrorists individuals. But I’m sure Trump would not talk about that all because it’s nothing special. Every criminal terrorist or not is soooo not acceptable so are the hypocrites like Trump.
Two of my closest friends got here on the lottery green cards so I’m good with it
Because it's all about you! And that's the way it should be?
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
55,000 ten-year green cards are granted to lottery winners who may apply for U.S. Citizenship only after 5 years, whereas only 85,000 three-year H-1B visas are granted to skilled employees who could only hope for a chance to apply for green card.
This is more selective than Stanford. Sheesh.
It's a gift to come to America not a right
A gift that millions waste.
Diego Hid what do you mean millions waste?
@@adrianmotley8855 I think he means that when those immigrants go to the U.S they don't make good use out of this opportunity

Your Armchair I assimilated very quickly, I was 6 I came with my whole family it was quite a while ago, so I don’t see myself as an immigrant anymore, it’s just a fun fact about me at this point. But my parents took it as more difficult, but they are functioning members of society still.

Haha yeah it would be great if all these people crying for the removal of birthright citizenship lost theirs too. Want to stay in the country? You better apply for a green card, if you can't then go back to europe where you came from
Yass!
Keep the lottery, but make the requirements tougher.
1. English Speaking
2. Ability to take care of themselves ( No government assistance at all)
How can I apply?
No!
Sounds like you don't care about American dream
arif jamaluddin It in 3 october till 5 november so only next year u can
@@christiansnaturestudio6599 The American dream isn't about living of the welfare system.
No more lottery.
Just skills or education criteria.
Va Ne They should give educated illegal children who are in school atm green cards so they have more opportunities. Educated as in good grades no bad intentions and to only succeed in the country.
hime hime Education cost money. By giving these kids opportunity, we take money out of our kids.
This is their parents fault.
We didn't invite their parents here. They came by their own. I see this as people outside of the USA make kids, but Americans must support, teach and provide job for them.
Va Ne We already have that. It is called EB-1,EB-2,and EB-3. Do some research to avoid sounding so ignorant.
James Peter You are absolutely right. So, my question is - Why do we need Green Card Lottery?
Check my post - " No more lottery"
Queue people calling you a racist for some reason.
You can tighten the requirements. Ask for them to have a bachelors degree not high school. Only clear records and no diseases. I don't see any problem if you make it more selective.
lady v you just defined eugenics
It certainly is a very selective process. With regards to what you’re saying:
1. While a high school diploma is a prerequisite to enter, more often than not, only those with much advanced degrees will make the cut. This guy is one of an almost non-existent group of lottery-winners without advanced degrees, an even smaller subset from whom actually pass the subsequent screening.
2. Should one win the lottery, they will not be granted a green card should they have a non-rehabilitated criminal past or a disease that could be a threat to the US.
So you are talking about H1B visa
@Santiago Colla is it really a privilege to have US citizenship? I have it and was born with it but it's not that good at all. Canadian citizenship is really better if I could get rid of my US citizenship without paying $7000 I would have done that. So I can only have my Canadian citizenship
@Santiago Colla Nah half of the Europe can't move to US,mostly Balkan area my country is not even in EU we can't even move to other European countries
This lottery system is so weird. I immigrated to Australia via their merit based system which is systematic, fair and all immigrants are highly skilled in fields that Australia needs.
No. Australia is now importing African refugees like crazy.
@@idontreply2236 why
I understand that Australia is a better place to live and earn than US. is that right?
@@alexandrubaginean7369Not anymore, I live here and am thinking about this
Merit-based isn't fair because natives aren't required to pass a merit test.
I’m so disappointed in CNBC. You all did a horrible job explaining this process. And you almost stopped as low as using racist rhetoric to do it.
1. Applicants come from all over the world. Not just Africa and the Middle East. Europeans apply in the American Visa lottery every day.
2. You know the stats of “a sliver.” Why did you not state them?
3. Africa has the highest number of acceptances because Africa is the content with the most amount of countries. The lottery is based on countries. Not continents.
Yeah in Australia we have a massively low amount of applications so the chance to win is around 7-10%
I'm a green card lottery winner and I was very disappointed because of the selecting process. In fact, I am from Ukraine and in my country there are plenty of really smart people like scientists, PhD owners, highly-skilled engineers, prospective students, IT specialists, etc. And since my country does not provide a proper treatment for them, they would love to work in a country that may give a hope for the better future. But, unfortunately, the green card lottery is a random lottery, so all such people have no chances to win. What is wrong with the US, is it hard to be more selective? Such lottery is a huge opportunity for the country: it can bring most intelligent "brains" from the whole world, but instead it collects worst of the worst.
Maybe because government does not need smart and thinking people, they need obedient slaves easily controlled ?
Lol you’re one of them
Ok but how much is a degree from Ukraine worth? Not much, sorry.
@@wqmf9356 eh, it's the same as the us, and do the us need another homeless hobbo or it specialist
@@resmur8095 yes US do need IT specialists. Thats why they pay usd 100k+ wages for them.

I received my Greencard three months after I immigrated to the U.S., and I have to say it's something I shouldn't take for granted.
My opinion: That's the result when America lets in ideological people from Sharia Law countries who are by in fact the result of systematic inbreeding.
how misreable it is to be you
I’m don’t like trump but I must admit he’s right on this issue. How is it fair to select people based on the country they are born in? Something they cannot control
One would question the authenticity of 'random' selection that allegedly the GC process undergoes. I have applied 11 times in total, all in vain and the last two times I did it with my spouse and child. I know people who got theirs and they had absolutely no idea what America's values are, did not speak English and had no applied training or diploma besides the minimum required. The American dream is nothing but a mirage created after the depression era. What I lost is that my dreams and goals got squashed, while America gained more low IQ residents. I am talking about the majority of winners in my country. People who get back after a couple of years because they found it hard to assimilate to US culture, not knowing anything about it doesn't help. So, to recap, I highly question the purpose of the green card selection. A country as great as America should hope to bring people who will maintain its grandeur and status and not downgrade it. I hope that congress would reform and come up with an approved bill that allows only people on merit.
I'm American and you're right. Most of us understand what we have and we want what you want. The lottery system is unethical
Butthurt... It's called lottery for a reason
Younes Chahir that’s a good point, I agree. Maybe instead of requiring only a high school degree they could change it to a Bachelors degree of minimum 3 years or something. 🤷🏻♀️
Younes Chahir Very well said. And judging by your comments you’re very highly educated. Respect! I feel you bro...... but don’t give up. Stay strong, positive and try and try again.......

XenoContact where are you from?
What a way to start off a Video about US inmigration!!! daaamn!!!
I believe that instead of the 1.2 million that immigrate a year, that number needs to be reduced to anywhere between 300,000 to 500,000 and be solely given to people who have a college degree or higher instead of a high school diploma (employment based). This ensures that the incoming immigrants have the ability to support themselves, are highly educated and motivated, have a proficiency in English as well as other languages and will in their life never use a federal aid program. You need a leaner and more competitive immigration program that rewards skills. This will revitalize the US economy and ensure sustained growth over the years.
The thing about the diversity visa is that it is meant to bring in applicants who would not have otherwise been accepted to the US. If you are skilled and have a college degree, you can apply for a work visa like the H1 or O1 visa, which then allows you to apply for a green card. Of course the diversity visa will take in those who are undereducated, underprivileged, etc. It's designed to do that.
Nazi
@@V25021 not really... You can be educated and experienced in your field but the US employers do not want to go through the burocratic process of applying for a work permit on the behalf of a future employee at the same time they do not want to wait for you do it yourself. Which is unfair because an uneducated (and sometimes even an illiterate) person can just get lucky with the "Diversity Visa" while someone with a college degree and over a decade of experience is stuck in this loop.
I would be all for the point based system where your English proficiency, college education as well as work experience would give you the right to live and work. I don't need federal aid, and jobs in my field are available all over the USA. Apparently, I was simply born in the wrong country.
And ensure you never get trade people
I would suggest you to study some history and consider that all of the americans are actually emigrants from western Europe. That's how it all started. Perhaps that's the history of your family as well. How would you feel if you were on the other side?
Heaven cannot be achieved to personal goodness or merits. It is only given to you through the repentance and acceptance of the finished work concerning your sins that JESUS did
across 2000 years ago.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast". (Ephesians 2:8)
By accepting HIM as your LORD and SAVIOR you receive the free gift of eternal life which HIS sacrifice provided! Give your life to JESUS consecrate your life to HIM and devote your life to HIM and receive the free gift of eternal life and salvation through HIM. Get to know him and love him more!!! You'll never regret it!JESUS loves y'all ❤️ ✝️

They must make it so the people who can apply must have a university degree...
winners can finish US university if they are young + not all jobs need university degrees. Immigrants are beneficial for country because US don't spend on raising children and start receiving adult immigrant taxes when they work in US.
I have always dreamed of becoming a us citizen.. but Trum has made me think again... It is sad to see such country turning into racist swamp..
MY DREAM IS TO LIVE IN THE (USA)😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
me 2😭😭
The US can limit those countries of people to apply for lottery visa, but please do not ruin other countries of people.
1st of all this is not 100% accurate . My friends won the visa lottery and their all from AUSTRALIA!
Fail.
isn't it better to live in australia than here?
I came with green card lottery and i cannot be more grateful. Tgere is always 1 idiot Mong anyone. If an american did something stupid, can you blame all americans? Do you think all of them share his ideas?
my uncle won!
This video is weird. The video makers should have picked more people from non-Western/non-European countries for the study, because immigrants from Western/European countries and places like Mexico, China, and Latin America are the least likely to ever win the Diversity Visa Lottery. This is because there are already large populations of European/White, certain Asian (like Chinese), and Latin American/Latino-Hispanic immigrants in the United States. In the 21st Century, if your European, Latin American (Latino), or Chinese it’s near impossible to qualify for the Diversity Visa Program because these populations are already culturally represented in the U.S. (we already have a lot of Germans and Brits). If your from a country or ethnic group that has a small population in the United States (like Ethiopians/Eritreans, Sir Lankans) you may have a chance at qualifying for the Diversity Visa Program.
I'd love a merit based visa program.
it already exists.... other visa programs are merit-based except this one
I want to move to the US. But I don’t think they would except me because I’m British. There are a lot of uk citizens in the US so won’t be very diverse 😂
Improve your English sir
Egypt is in Africa too.
You need to really screen people and interrogate them before you let them in. Good People who have goals to accomplish here in the states. You can't just let anyone in. Let in people that are gonna provide value to your country. I know a lot of people that would wanna come here but they're intentions are not pure. This statement is coming from me(an immigrant)
Fellow viewer, I urgently need your help!
I'm a Portuguese national who wants to apply to the green card lottery this year (ends tomorrow). The problem is, I wasn't aware I needed to have my passport ready for the application until yesterday when I went to do the application. I have recently renewed my Portuguese citizenship card but I haven't renewed my passport yet, and it would take a week for me to get my new renewed passport. How did I miss the fact that I need the passport to apply for this years' green card lottery in the first place? Because I was stupid and naive, and I regret it now! So my question is: should I put the expired passport number and date (and hope that, if I get selected, I get the chance to introduce my renewed passports' data); or should I put the same passport number with the same expiration date of my citizenship card (which would be lying)? Please, I really appreciate your help right now.
Guilherme Lourenço It’s been 6 months since you posted this and I only saw it today 9 May 2020. Answer is no you cannot use your expired passport or identity card for the application becoz it amounts to lying. Wait till you get your new passport (which you already have by the time you read this) and apply all over again in 2020 (3 Oct - 5 Nov).

PapaBravoStunter меня тоже:)
лучше в Крым поедь отдохни, зачем тебе эта бездуховщина?
The lottery is open as of this month for those wondering, it closes in November
Wish I have the opportunity
The green card lottery is really interesting. I saw that the UK got added to the eligibility list and thought it may be worth the “gamble” lol.
But I definitely understand the concerns of the program.
this is so strange. 3 of my friends won the lottery and now currently live in us. what is wierd is that none of them passed beyond high school level and were basicly unqualified workers in my village. all three years we played lotter and all those three people went and i didnt win. now i abondoned all this crazy immigration lottery thing instead i got 17 000 usd scholarship from us institution and upcoming september i will start my studies in US. Hopefully i will get best of education for my career.
sokhib Abdurasulov Congrats to you! I know for sure you will excel in your studies and the world will come to realise your worth, including your 3 friends!
Iran?! where does a winner from Iran go to get visa? I mean embassy, which one?
I'm a Londoner born and bred with a UK education equivalent to a US doctorate degree. I love America and I've wanted to travel and work there for years now and it bothers me that even I haven't gotten the chance because of not being able to get a VISA.
@@MintyDragonfly h1b is kind of slavery, green card is a lot better since worker maintains flexibility.
@@MintyDragonfly As I remember green card make quotas according to last 5 years of immigration.

USA 🇺🇸 need more and more Lottery VISA to keep minimum wage 7.25 in almost 20 states ......Its not those poor people who come here for minimum wage jobs it’s the rich out of rich people who have enormous greed over wealth
immigrants don't have parents or houses in US like natives do, so they need to study and work hard to earn more then natives, to buy property and establish normal life like natives do. For example a lot (or even the most) of software developers are immigrants. Google, youtube, and a lot of another companies have immigrant and/or children of first gen immigrants founders.
Those show their love for American and that share its values and desires to become citizens should have their immigration status based on their merits and affinity with what USA needs...
