See, makes me SO cross!!!! 'Let it go, let it go, let it go' I didn't know that........


As for other forums. Try sticking expatforum in google and see what come up. I know there is one by that name..... be warned though.... they bite at times!! I'm not brave enough to join their gang LOL but I think they have a lot of knowledge on there. Try searching the other posts first to see if you can get some of the answers you are looking for before posting.

The whole purpose of the green card lottery is diversity. It was originally set up as a way to allocate unused visa quotas across a range of countries that never filled up their annual quotas. The Brits have never had that problem.
Cheers,
Bev

The rule is that the diversity visa is only available to countries that have had less than 50,000 immigrants in the previous five years.

How come people born in Northern Ireland can enter the lottery then ?
Like it or not they are still part of the UK and should have the same restrictions , no?

I actually think it goes by country, as in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, etc.
