If I Win Can I Adjust My Visa Status?

Adjustment of visa status.

Yes, Green Card Lottery winners can adjust their visa status if they are already living in the United States, provided they are otherwise eligible to adjust status under the terms of their existing visa.

Selected applicants who are physically present in the United States may apply to the USCIS for adjustment of status to permanent resident.

In most cases, the adjustment of status can be done without having to travel outside the US.
