The most opted for category out of the above three options is the Immigrant Visa or the Green card. The Green Card or the American Visa can be obtained by taking part in a Diversity Visa Program, also known as the USA Visa Lottery or Green Card Lottery. This Visa Lottery program was enacted by the United States Congress in the year 1990. Under this Lottery Program, the winner applicants are chosen randomly or in other words a "Lottery" is conducted by the U.S. State Department, and the Green Cards are awarded to the winners. Currently this program allocates 55,000 Visas or "Green Cards" to applicants around the world, but under certain conditions and only to the list of eligible countries. The eligible Lottery countries include Nigeria.  The legal or official permission to stay and relish the citizenship of United States is known as Green card. This is basically an identification card that separates a legal permitted immigrant from another from an illegal immigrant.
