It also puts you well below what would be considered a reasonable standard of living. You may have a very difficult time meeting the financial requirements for a green card with such little savings. Before a visa lottery winner can be approved for a green card U.S. lawful permanent residence, the person must prove that he or she is not inadmissible. One of the grounds of inadmissibility is that the person is likely to become a public charge depend primarily on government assistance based on financial need. To overcome this ground of inadmissibility, lottery winners will need to provide documentary evidence that they have available means of support.Source:
