| Jul 18, 2018 at 16:04 | comment | added | V. Kravchenko | @phoog marrying someone who is eligible to participate in dv-lottery gives you about from 1% to 3% yearly chance of winning. It seems like not a very good idea. | |

| Jul 6, 2018 at 14:01 | comment | added | phoog | @ScottEarle So another route would be to find a spouse born in an eligible country who also wants to move to the US and then hope that she or he is successful in the lottery. It's probably easier just to find a US citizen spouse who is already in the US, especially with the looming possibility of changes to the US immigration system. | |

| Jul 5, 2018 at 16:42 | comment | added | Jim MacKenzie | @phoog I've made a diluted note of that in my answer - the list of possible exceptions/inclusions can get pretty complex. | |
