Green Card Lottery: Significant Fee Hikes Proposed

Have you heard about the planned fee increases for the Green Card Lottery program? A newly proposed immigration bill in the U.S. House of Representatives aims to introduce a $250 entry fee, replacing the current free application system. Additionally, the visa application fee for selected lottery winners would also increase from $330 to $400 per person.

This proposal is part of the “Big, Beautiful Border Security Act” presented by the House Judiciary Committee, which seeks to reshape U.S. immigration policy. The Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery Program annually allows up to 55,000 individuals from underrepresented countries to obtain permanent U.S. residency.

Immigration experts and advocates have already raised concerns that these changes could restrict access for applicants from low-income nations. Many of these individuals already face significant economic and political barriers. The current free application system has allowed millions worldwide to participate in the program each year.
