The United States of America still are considered as the country of great opportunities and attract the mass of immigrants from around the world. However to acquire the right to live and work at legal grounds in the USA happens not easy. One of ways to make it is to win in a special lottery.
What is the green card
The so-called green card (Green card) represents the certificate confirming that its owner has a view of permanent residence to the USA and the right of work for territories of the country. There are several options to become the owner of the green card: the invitation of the employer, reunion with relatives, defects with the U.S. citizen. However, if in America you have no special working skills or relatives, it is always possible to expect good luck, every year the government carries out a special diversification lottery in which 50 thousand green cards are played.
The main objective of a lottery is to attract to America immigrants from those countries which representatives are almost absent in the USA. There is also a reverse side of a question: residents of the states from which to America more than 50 thousand people in 5 years immigrated are not allowed to participation in a lottery. Besides, the certain requirements concerning them education and qualification are imposed to participants of a lottery. So, for example, the applicant should provide documents on existence of senior secondary education or two years' experience in the specialty, requiring training within not less than two years. At last, it is necessary to convince the U.S. Government that in case of a victory, you will not become a dependent, that is to provide data on revenue or presence of the sponsor.
Features of an Internet lottery
Order taking for participation in a lottery is made only on the official site of the U.S. Government. Filling of a form is carried out in English, and in case of the slightest inaccuracies or errors the questionnaire is automatically cancelled therefore it is necessary to be extremely attentive, filling out the questionnaire. It is also necessary to consider that the term of reception of applications is limited: as a rule, it is possible to submit the application only within one month. Repeated registration in the same lottery is not allowed therefore the intermediary firm should not delegate filling of the questionnaire and at the same time to try to fill out registration data independently.
The situation with a great number of consultants and intermediaries in the sphere of a draw of green cards in general causes serious concerns to the U.S. Department of State. The fact is that the set of the cases of fraud with green cards including blackmail of winners, the "correspondence" filling of questionnaires, the organization of dummy defects with won (by rules of a lottery, together with the winner the green card is received also by his spouse and also minor children), the false websites of a lottery raising "a payment for participation" is annually fixed. If you are going to take part in a diversification lottery, consider that it is free and is carried out only on one website – it has no official representations. Trusting filling of the questionnaire to intermediary firm, make sure of reliability and respectability of the organization, and study instructions better and submit the application independently.
