| Why does the U.S. government have this program? |
It is a program designed to help bring up immigration levels from
countries which traditionally have not had large numbers of immigrants
to the United States in recent years. |
| What is a green card and what benefits are associated? |
A green card is a permanent visa to live in the USA. You are allowed
to take up any employment, get self-employed or don't work at all.
The green card is also suitable for retirement in the USA. Green Card
holders possess a large number of benefits, e.g. lower study fees,
social security and health insurance benefits, possibility to work
for the US-forces and other government institutions, the right to
apply for green cards for other family members and the possibility
to obtain US-citizenship after three or five years. With a green card
you may also keep your current passport and live in the US for the
rest of your life. |
| The country I was born in is on the list of non eligible countries,
why is this so? Isn’t this discrimination? |
There a few countries every year which persons born in those countries
are not eligible to participate. It is not a discriminatory process,
but rather an immigration control measure for those few countries
that have had rather large number of immigrants to the United States
in recent years. By allowing persons born in those countries to
participate would actually defeat the purpose of the program. |
| I was born in one of the ineligible countries but I am now a citizen
or permanent resident of a qualifying country. Can I now participate? |
Unfortunately the answer is no. Once again, the program is set
up for countries with low migration numbers and just because you have
been allowed access to another country for residency or citizenship
has no bearing on the process. |
| I was born in an ineligible country, but I am now married to a person
that was born in an eligible country, can I now participate? |
Yes, you can claim your spouses country of birth for yourself, if
you are legally married.(de facto relationships are not recognized
by the US authorities.) |
| I was born in one of the ineligible countries, but my parents were
only studying/travelling/visiting that country at the time of my birth
and they were not considered residents of the non qualifying country
at the time of my birth, can I participate? |
In this particular instance, yes you can participate. If you are
selected in the lottery it will be your responsibility to provide
any and all documentation to prove your parents were not citizens
or residents of that country at the time of your birth and that they
were only temporarily in that country at that time. Contact Green
Card Support Service if you need further information regarding this. |
| I am married to a person from a non qualifying country, can I participate,
and if I win can my spouse come to America with me? |
The answer is yes if you were born in a qualifying country. Any
winner of a Green Card can bring their spouse and unmarried children
(regardless of their birthplace) under the age of 21 to the United
States if they are selected. |
| I understand I must have at least 12 years education, is this true? |
Yes, this is true. You will need to have successfully completed
12 years of schooling and be able to prove this, unless... |
| I do not have 12 years schooling, I left school at year 10. Am
I able to do anything to be able to participate? |
You may still qualify. If you have had an additional two years
training at a technical school, participated as an apprentice for
two years, or hold a job that requires at least two years training
to be able to do the job you may qualify. Contact Green Card Support
Service if you need further information regarding this or check your
qualifications by starting your online
application. |
| Do I need to have any special amount of money in the bank before
I can migrate? |
No, you do not need any specific amount of money to be able to participate,
or migrate. |
| English is not my Native language. Do I need to pass an English
test first? |
No, you do not need to be able to speak English in order to participate
in this program, or to migrate to the United States if you are selected.
|
| I have friends and relatives which live in countries where Green
Card Support Service does not have offices. How can they participate?
|
Any person, anywhere in the world can participate through this office
of Green Card Support Service. Simply complete an application and
provide the appropriate requested details from where ever you currently
live. |
| How long does this process take? |
The answer to this questions is “It depends”. It depends on when
you enter, as this program is only held once a year. Green Card
Support Service quits accepting applications for any given lottery
at the end of the year. The notification of winners for that lottery
will be announced approximately 6 months later. |
| How many times can I enter? |
You can only participate once per year, but can enter every year. |
