ALL NEW MEMBERS, PLEASE READ THIS
Question 1. What is a Green Card?
It's a permanent immigrant visa that allows someone to live and work in the USA and become a citizen after 5 years of continuous residency. It expires after 12 years but it can be renewed indefinitely.
There are many ways to get a green card, including the annual lottery that gives 50.000 green cards. Others are green cards through marriage, family ties and Investment.
Question 2. What is the Object of the Green Card Lottery?
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program makes up to 50,000 immigrant visas available annually, drawn from random selection among all entries to individuals who are from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
Every year, the law requires the department of state to give 50.000 green cards to people from all over the world to come live here in the USA and become citizens after 5 years of residency.
The Green Card Program is administered by the U.S. Department of State.
Most lottery winners reside outside the United States and immigrate through consular processing and issuance of an immigrant visa.
Question 3. What are the Eligibility Criteria?
• Be born in an eligible Country (list will be published in third quarter of 2015)
• Meet the education/work experience requirement of the DV program by having either: • a high school education or its equivalent, defined as successful completion of a 12-year course of formal elementary and secondary education; OR • two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience to perform.
Question 4. Are there any fees to pay? How about the Fraud Warning
No. All the entries are submitted online, without any fees to pay.
Online Fraudsters may send you emails claiming you have won the Green Card lottery. Never send money to anyone who sends you a letter or email claiming you have won.
You may receive emails from websites trying to trick you into sending money or providing your personal information. You may be asked to pay for forms and information about immigration procedures, all which are available free on the Department of State website or through U.S. Embassy or Consulate websites.
Additionally, organizations or websites may try to steal your money by charging fees for DV-related services. If you send money to one of these scams, you will likely never see it again. Also, do not send personal information to these websites, as it may be used for identity fraud/theft.
Question 5. What Countries are excluded from the Lottery?
In the third quarter of 2015, the Department of State will publish the list of Countries that are not eligible, because more than 50,000 natives of these countries immigrated to the United States in the previous five years.
Question 6. Why Mr. Kevinne is doing this? What’s in it for him?
After winning the Green Card Lottery in 2000, I came to the USA with my family (Wife) in March 2002. And we became USA Citizens in 2007.
Being a Christian, I know that when God blesses me, He wants me to be a blessing to others. That's why I started encouraging other people to apply and participate in the annual lottery, since 2004 (Yahoo Group and now Facebook and YouTube).
I was born and raised in poverty in Africa. I know that the USA is a very good place to live and raise a family. It’s a place where you can give your children opportunities that you never had yourself. My belief is that life is meaningful when your descendants can rise and fly higher than you ever did.
I started this Facebook Group so that people who want to change their life and the destiny of their Children can find a helping hand along the way. I am doing it for free: I WILL NEVER ASK FOR MONEY OR ANY OTHER FAVOR FROM ALL OF YOU. NEVER!
Question 7. How can we increase the Chances of winning? Can Kevinne help?
No, Kevinne can’t help. The G.C. lottery is fully electronic and 100% random. Nobody can increase your chances of winning. But God and your Faith can play a very big role!
For our Group as a whole, the more people apply, the greater are the chances of winning. That's why I always urge you to recruit more people, so that we can increase the chances of more members of our group winning.
Question 8. Is it true that Married Couples have more chances?
Any person who submits an electronic entry in October 2015 has the same amount of Chances as anybody else.
But when you are married, husband and wife have the opportunity to submit two separate entries and therefore they double their chance of winning. If only one of them wins, he or she will bring the whole family
Question 9. Why the USA does this? What Interest does this Country have?
The USA does this strategically because one of the main reasons of its power and strength comes from the diversity of its population. The greatest scientists, business people, inventors, artists, politicians in the history of the USA are descendants of people who came from other countries or they are personally first generation immigrants.
Without its Immigration Policy, the USA would never have Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Joseph Pulitzer, Andrew Carnegie, Charlie Chaplin, Oscar de La Renta, Madeleine Albright, Kahlil Gibran, Martina Navratilova, Henry Kissinger, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Levi Strauss or Barack Obama. These are just a few examples.
Question 10. What’s the advantage of living in the USA?
People from all over the world want to come to the USA because it's an open society that allows and facilitates integration. In the USA, everybody feels at home and nobody can say he is native. Everybody has ascendants that came from abroad. It’s a Country built on Immigration (look at the meaning of the statue of liberty).
People come from all over the world and can dream and aim as high as they want, in life. There are no limits to what you can do, be or have. It's all up to you. The sky is not the limit; your imagination is
America is a country that's unique in the world. People who want to make something out of their lives are justified to have the goal of coming here
That's why I asked your help, to mobilize and encourage people from where you live (your country or your city), to know about this opportunity and try their luck
Question 11. When is the lottery going to take place?
Every year in October, the lottery is open and application is free. You will apply online and it's very simple. We will give you the website to go to. You should avoid those websites that ask for money and promise to improve your chances of winning
I will keep updating these FAQ, according to the Questions I receive from all of you.
God bless you abundantly.
