The Diversity Immigrant Visa program (DV for short) is a United States congressionally-mandated lottery program for receiving a United States Permanent Resident Card. A winning chance for an Asian is 0.58%! Almost one out of 200!!!But I think I'm not even having a chance to apply for it X(
I again couldn't apply for it this year since I thought the deadline was 11/30 but was 11/3!!! Also, last year, I jumped into the site at the last moment so the site was busy and I couldn't apply for it...
Is there anyone who won this lottery?! I'm really curious!!!
Please click below and vote for me.
Yes! I know several people who have won their green card through this program!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe- but it is true~ :-)
Although I was applying mine on employment basis, I was also doing this lottery. Winning the green card through this lottery is a LOT quicker, easier and cheaper than obtaining it through employment. :-(
It is just more concrete to apply it through employment than just relying on your luck.
hi りんだ!
ReplyDeleteI know your effort so I totally understand what you mean!!! I remember even the H-1 visa was kind of pain in the neck... I paid $1000 for the premium processing... X( yeah, relying on luck is totally a challenge. That's why I am trying to apply for it when I don't really need it... but see... if I'm not in need, I keep on missing the chance...
Do you really want to be a permanent resident here in the U.S. Ochi was just wondering!
ReplyDeleteHi jo,
ReplyDeleteYes! Because we Japanese can have both nationalities, so there is no problem having the permanent resident for 2 countries. Much more convenient when I visit the U.S. on vacation :D
