Chinese nationals do not qualify for the DV lottery due to high immigration rates. If you carry a Chinese citizenship then you are Chinese, your ethnicity is irrelevant. If you happen to also carry a different citizenship you can use that to apply for the DV lottery (if that country qualifies for the DV program)

If you are referring to the US Diversity Visa lottery, the only official website is:\n\nhttp://www.dvlottery.state.gov/\n\nAny other site that offers you help in filling out or submitting forms (for a fee, naturally) is not an official government site.  Using the services of such a business in no way increases your chances of receiving a US Green Card.

If you are eligible for the green card lottery you may want to consider that route.  I have never been able to find a district that sponsors foreign teachers.  The only suggestion I can offer is to go state by state and contact school districts.  I have found that most of them respond, and try to be helpful.  Good luck with your search.

I looked it over.  It sounds might suspicious to me.  It seems to be offering free services to people who win the Green Card Lottery run by the State Department.  Therefore, the thing to do would be to contact the State Department and ask them whether this site is legal, and is known to be honest.\n\nEspecially on the Internet, whenever a thing sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.  Or rather, it has some hidden aspects.  For example, these people may indeed offer some assistance to incoming immigrants; but what do they want in exchange?  What is their reason for offering?  Whose interests do they serve?  You need to answer these questions before you trust your private information to them, let alone get on an airplane they have sponsored.  Could you even trust it was going to the destination they told you?\n\nGood luck!

There are many different ways to get a US green card.  I'll list 5 of the more common ways that people get them - from easiest to hardest:\n\n1. Marraige\n2. Investment\n3. Employment\n4. Political Asylum\n5. Green Card Lottery\n\nMarraige - This is the easiest and most certain way to get a green card.  If you marry a US citizen, you'll have your green card in a matter of months.  If you marry a green card holder who's not a citizen, it takes a little longer.\n\nInvestment - If you invest USD $1 million the US (or $500,000 in a underdeveloped part of the country) you can get a green card.\n\nEmployment - If you have excellent credentials in your chosen field and can find a US employer to sponsor you, you can get a green card.\n\nAsylum - If you are being persecuted for political or religious beliefs in Jordon, you can get a green card.\n\nLottery - You can also apply for the green card lottery.  If you're lucky, you can get a green card.  81 people from Jordon last year got green cards through this lottery.\n\nLottery - this is purely luck.  every year the US holds a "diversity lottery".  last year 81 people from Jordon won green cards!\n\nlook at the links below for more info

are you referring to the DV visa lottery ?\n\nYou can not check the status. If you win you get a letter in the mail, if you don't, you don't get anything.\n\nI'm not sure what the case number is for... did you use an intermediary for the visa lottery ?

Why would you have to send them money for them to send you money. They way the lottery works is you give them money in advance if you are chosen then they give you money. It's nothing like you've but we need more money from you. This is definitely a scam please do not send these people or anyone you do not know money.

You asked this question as "Monsoon05" and also as "Jk" - so you are still pretty good at lying and playing games with the system.  Do you think the answer will change?\n\nWhen people write to complain that they can't get a visa to come to the US, or there are long delays in their cases, it is because of people like you who have intentionally lied to get some sort of immigration benefit from the US government.\n\nYou lied that you were not married so it would be easier to get an H1b visa, then you bought a fraudulent marriage certificate to support your claim, then you applied for your wife to come to the US and now she is leaving you and you are afraid of your past deeds - good! You are an example of everything that is wrong with our immigration system - the loop holes and technicalities that are exploited by citizens of other countries, who then enter the US and lie again to get other benefits to which they are not entitled, then cheat on their taxes, so that someone else is paying for everything. In this case, I hope for nothing more, or less, than karma.

I married my husband (now ex) in Jan 98.  He was just visiting the US when we got married and so we had to go through all the immigration stuff to have him stay here.  Did you go to the interview alone?  If you missed the interview as well, the Immigration service will consider that an abandonment of your application.  If your application is no longer in process then your visa status may have expired - you may now be in the country illegally.  I would call an immigration attorney ASAP.

there is no lottery !!\n\nA United States Permanent Resident Card, also known popularly as Green Card, is an identification card for a permanent resident of the United States of America who does not have U.S. citizenship. It is proof that the holder has permission to permanently reside and take employment in the U.S. Its "former" official title was Alien Registration Receipt Card, and it is now officially called a Permanent Resident Card, also referred to as form I-551.\n\nThe name "green card" comes from the fact that the cards were originally green. Their color has changed over the years, but the term "green card" has remained in use. As of 2005, the card is mostly white and the only prominent green feature is the lettering on the back of the card. A card includes the holder's name and photograph, and other information, and has been updated over the years with numerous anti-counterfeiting devices. The latest hologram on the back of the card contains representations of all American presidents, flags of each state, image of the card holder and other personal information found on the front of the card.\n\nThe card must be in the possession of the U.S. permanent resident at all times. This means the U.S. permanent resident must have a currently valid card on their person at all times, to show to an USCIS officer, if requested. One interesting aspect of American law is that permanent residents are required to carry identification cards, but citizens are not.\n\nGreen cards were formerly issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). That agency's functions have been shifted to the new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) formerly the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) in the Department of Homeland Security.

Are you kidding??! Of course it's not real. How can you win a lottery you never entered? Playing overseas lotteries is against the law anyway.

According to the CIS website:  "DV Lottery cases can be filed in person at the New York City Office. Please print on the outside of the application package, in bold, "DV Lottery."\n\nAs you probably know, you MUST have your adjustment of status completed (including medical exams, FBI clearance records, everything!) no later than 9/30/2006.  I hope by now you have already gotten your appointment to get your fingerprints taken by CIS (formerly INS). \n\nAccording to processing time sheet for NYC:  they are working on AOS's filed  on 9/30/2005! (But this is just a general time frame, and certainly DV AOS's must be handled more expeditiously). \n\nAt this point,  if you don't have an attorney, I would STRONGLY suggest you get one who can bother CIS about your AOS application and getting it processed.  \n\nYou will have NO recourse if your application just happens to fall through the cracks or CIS just doesn't get around to it. And, believe me it happens all too regularly that DV applicants LOSE their opportunity get their DV visa because either (1) state-side CIS office fails to process the app properly or quickly or (2) Department of state consular office fails to issue visa by 9/30/06.  It's a huge bureaucracy after all and iIt would be $$$ well spent to make sure the office processes your application before 9/30/06.\n\nGood luck.

I think you have been misinformed, All you should have to submit is your past three years tax statements along with an affidavit of support showing that you earned enough money to support yourself and your family, Immigration goes by the poverty guidlines for the amount of people in your family and the poverty guidline is pretty low. I think you need to go back to the Department of Immigration web site and do a little more reading on the subject or call the immigration service center and ask for help.

Scam... if you don't enter a lottery you can't win that lottery. It's that simple.

I think you would work out any 'financial support' requirements in getting your visa or green card.  If Pancha is right and you are thinking of a 'gratuity' not only don't I recommend it, I recommend strongly AGAINST it. It is considered a bad thing to try to bribe an official over here.
