USA Green Card Lottery – Participation of your application in a drawing
Participation of your application in a drawing But even if you are persuaded that such a possibility exists, how can they prove that it was they who helped you win! It's like being told to pay $10,000 if it rains tomorrow. If it doesn't rain, you won't pay. In any case, they have nothing to lose. Another type of firm provides a "free" service for Lottery participation. Here it is a good time to remember the saying "Free cheese only comes in a mousetrap". They make money on something, don't they! A prime example is the NVSC (National Visa Service Center). They published an advertisement in a well-known national newspaper and introduced themselves as the European Centre, so they collected lottery forms from a great number of people. However, nothing was said about the functions they perform or how much they charge for their services. Six months later - a nasty surprise in the form of a letter from NVSC: an offer to pay $52 for postage and $300 for services rendered. Of course, most people paid nothing, but the chance to enter the lottery was lost to them.

USA Green Card Lottery – The Green Card Application Procedure: Difficult but not Impossible
The Green Card Application Procedure: Difficult but not Impossible Once you have obtained a green card, you no longer have to worry about the terms of your legal stay in the United States: at the end of the 10 years for which the green card is issued, its validity can be renewed through a non-scheduled procedure. In addition, after 5 years from the date of issuance of the passport, the holder of the passport may apply for US citizenship. In general, it can be said that the legal status of a holder of a Green Card is largely identical to that of a US citizen, except for the lack of such rights as the right to vote, to hold certain public offices, and so on. This explains the lack of a continuous list of applicants for the Green Card. So, let's find out who can get a green card in the United States?

No country can receive more than 7% of the total conditional number of Green Cards - 55,000 per year, said the Consul. The consul stated that there are two reasons for refusing an immigrant visa - incorrect biographical information - date of birth, name, surname, place of birth and another reason - incomplete information about family members.
