Irish passport holders working in the USA
4 Answers
Hi All Is it true that holders of Irish passports have some sort of special dispensation if they want to work in the US? My boyfreind is Irish (well has Irish parents) and would like to work over there for a time, even if it was just for a summer period. Maybe it's a rumour but I have heard it more than once. Any answers would be appreciated Thanks

The USA run a 'greencard lottery' each year in which 50000 lucky non-citizens 'win' a visa to enable them to stay in the USA - permanently if they want. I assume thay have to meet certain criteria, but other than that it's chance.
Irish citizens (and those of many other countries) are eligible for the lottery - UK citizens are not.
