“I won the Green Card lottery and after a short process I was able to legally live in the United States.” The words belong to Ecuadorian Andrea Salgado, who was lucky in 2016 and shares suggestions and answers questions from her followers through her TikTok account.

Questions about the visa lottery for Ecuadorian Andrea Salgado

-How did I win it?

–There is a program called the Diversity Visa Program that starts every year in which the United States awards and gives away 55,000 green cards to people from a large number of countries.

On the same Diversity Visa page, the only official page ends in .gov and Salgado emphasizes the “v for cow.”

“Go there and see which countries are coming in and which are not,” he says.

Which countries are participating in the 2025 visa lottery?

-How much does it cost to apply?

–It costs nothing to apply. If you are selected, it will be difficult to complete the form

For Salgado, if selected, there will be a cost associated with the next steps.

It’s a lottery and the chances of winning are slim.

-Can I take the photo myself?

–Don’t take the photo yourself, I don’t recommend it. The page shows what the photo, background, etc. should look like.

You cannot repeat another year’s photo, you must have a current photo.

Save the confirmation code

Save the confirmation code and ‘protect it with all your life’. To check whether you are selected or not, you must have this. said.

The Ecuadorian, quoted in La Nación, notes: “They think they will send you an email, but no, there is a confirmation code and you have to protect it all your life.”

That number appears in the register, confirming every detail of the status, published in La Nación.

-Does this affect the visa application?

–This process does not affect the visa application process.

-Do I have to apply together with my husband if I am married?

–Clearly. You can’t lie, if you lie they will deny it, it’s that simple

-Can I apply multiple times?

–No, if you register more than once your participation will be automatically eliminated

What you can do if you are married is to file and involve your spouse. Your partner then makes an application and involves you in the process.

-What are the demands?

-The requirements: I think there are only two: one, be over 18 years old; and two, have graduated from college or have at least two years of work experience in certain jobs.

The first is that you must meet the requirement that you be a resident of a country that reports low immigration rates to the United States.

Migrating is not that easy, the Ecuadorian warned

Salgado urged several times in the video to read what the page says, where the answers are.

This Ecuadorian, green card winner, asked to take responsibility for this process. “If you want, you can,” he remembered.

For the Ecuadorian, anyone who cannot complete the form will find it more difficult to migrate.

“In 2023, the process couldn’t be easier,” he said, recalling how difficult it was in 2016, when the page was very confusing.

“Immigrating,” he noted, “is a super complex, super difficult process. It will be harder for you to get the security number if you can’t fill out the form.”

The least you should do is read the requirements listed on the page,” he said. At the end of his TikTok video, he wished everyone good luck.
