About the U.S.A. Green Card Lottery.

Although there are other bases for obtaining permanent residency in the United States, for example, through close family ties to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, or through employment offers by U.S. employers, there is a new basis for obtaining permanent residence ("green card") in the United States through the Visa Lottery.

The true name of this program is the "Diversity Immigration Program". There are specific deadlines and applications procedures which must be met in order to enter a lottery applicant, but if your name is selected, you will become eligible to receive permanent residence in the U.S. (a "green card").

Our network lawyers and immigration consultants can prepare your and your family's visa lottery applications and submit them to ensure proper compliance and delivery to the Immigration Services. You can send us your data today and rest assured that it will be prepared correctly and properly delivered to the Immigration Services.

If you missed the deadline for the most recent visa lottery, you know how easily this can happen. You can avoid this by sending us your visa lottery data today and having attorneys who regularly correspond with the Immigration Service properly submit your application.

You are not eligible to apply if you were born in one of the following countries:

- For 1998, the high admission countries are: CHINA (MAINLAND and TAIWAN), PHILIPPINES, VIETNAM, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except NORTHERN IRELAND), POLAND, CANADA, MEXICO, JAMAICA, EL SALVADOR, COLOMBIA, and the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, and their dependent areas.

-Natives of HONG KONG and NORTHERN IRELAND are eligible to enter.

- If you were born in an ineligible country but your spouse was not, you can claim your spouse's country of birth instead of your own. If you were born in a country where neither of your parents resided at the time, you may be able to claim one of their countries of birth.

Applicants under the diversity program must have either:

1. A High School education or its equivalent defined as successful completion of twelve years of education comparable to a U.S. High School degree; or

2. Two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years training or experience;

Make sure that you do not submit more than one entry or have someone else submit more than one entry. If you do, you will be disqualified automatically. Some people have submitted multiple entries in the hope of increasing their chances of winning the lottery, or for fear that their entry might not reach its proper destination in the mail. Hiring our firm to perform the application will ensure that the application will be mailed properly within the United States, thereby increasing your chances of proper delivery, and that only one accurately completed application will be made.

For many of you aspiring to move to and live in the United States, immigrating to the U.S. may be the biggest event of your lives. Such an important event should be handled by a professional who deals with such issues on a regular basis. For a minimal fee, the application can be prepared by an expert who will ensure proper and accurate completion of the application and proper delivery to the Immigration Services.

If you are approved, we are also available to process your final immigration petition and other petitions required to immigrate to the United States.
