What you always wanted to know

I do not fulfill the application requirements, yet. What can I do?

The requirements regarding education or professional training only have to be proven in summer 2010. If you meet the conditions by then, you can participate. Should this not be the case, minors (i.e. persons under the age of 21, according to US law) may simply be mentioned in their parents’ application. Thus, if the parents win, they will have to fulfill the prerequisites, and you yourself can receive the GreenCard without any proof just on the base of family bounds.

When am I notified if I have won? What is the subsequent procedure?

In early January you receive an acknowledgment of the receipt of your application directly from us. Unfortunately the raffle itself takes quite some time. The US government will only inform about the outcome in June/July 2010. Thus you can expect information directly from THE AMERICAN DREAM between June and July 2010. All our participants will be informed, even if they have not won. However, the definite result will most likely only be established by end of July!

At the appropriate time we will then inform you how to proceed. This is because in case you have won more forms will have to be filled out and an appointment with the US embassy to be taken. Our service program also includes our preparing you in this case and without any additional costs.
