What you always wanted to know

How can I be sure that THE AMERICAN DREAM does proceed my application correctly?

THE AMERICAN DREAM was the first and only enterprise to be licensed by the German Bundesverwaltungsamt (federal administrative authority) as an advisory agency for emigration to the USA. We are realizing a very successful cooperation with our clients since 1996, and with over 13,000 won GreenCards we clearly are the market leader in Europe. We have been voted as the “Number 1" green card service worldwide for the third year in a row!

We confirm the receipt of your application in the USA by sending you a certificate via regular mail. Moreover, we always keep you up to date by e-mail to let you know what exactly is happening with your entry at every stage of the application procedure. Through our "contact" page you can get in contact with one of our live operators 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Once you have been selected as a winner, we help you at no extra cost(!) until you have completed all the necessary bureaucratic steps and receive your actual greencard. You can see a lot of comments from past successful winners on our winner’s page.

When you are registered as a client we will also provide you with a special log-in page where you can check your data and your photos online whenever you wish, and even register any changes of your address.

This way you can be sure that everything is proceeded absolutely competently and that you have the very best chances for receiving a GreenCard.

What does the processing fee cover?

The processing fee ensures that your application is proceeded correctly, and timely submitted in the USA. Our staff deals with each single application in full detail. We send you an official confirmation of the entry in the USA at no extra cost. The official online receipt of the State Department will be printed for you and sent by airmail. All mailing, courier and telephone fees are included in the price as well.

Beginning in 2003, a new official rule states that all applications need to be submitted electronically. Therefore, from now on, the registration fee also covers the digitalization of your application form and correct electronic submission of your entry, including the upload of your digitalized photo(s).

You will always have access to your data online and will be able to see and/or change your address, your photos, or update your marital or family status.

At no extra cost, you may call us, write an email to us, or go to our online chat section to ask us anything regarding your application, 365 days per year.

Also, in the event that you win, our complete ongoing counseling and support service is free of additional costs. Many other services provide you with your winning notice and then tell you that you should hire a lawyer at prices between 1,000 and 2,600 US$ to take care of the further correspondence with the USCIS or US foreign consulate. It is true that professional help should be considered after getting the winning notification.

It is THE AMERICAN DREAM´s policy, however, to help all our customers for free once they are a winner. Even after you have completed the whole consular process and after you have actually moved to the US, you may still seek our help and we will not charge anything extra.

At the time of winning, you will also get access to our exclusive winners´forum. This invaluable site already has more than 1,500 members (all winners of the greencard through THE AMERICAN DREAM) who have posted close to 20.000 posts. You will get answers to all your questions regarding the further procedures and your personal immigration to the US. You may find new friends and other winners from your country in this forum. Of course, all posts are monitored and help is offered by THE AMERICAN DREAM. You can stay a member for your entire life, if you wish.

Furthermore, if you do not yet reside in the US at the time of winning, your green card itself will be sent to our New York office and from there forwarded to your local address. The US government prohibits sending the green card to any address outside of the United States. Therefore, for many people, having their card sent to The American Dream is the only chance to receive it.

If you are NOT yet a winner, you will also be notified by mail through THE AMERICAN DREAM. If you participate on your own for free, you will never know if you have won, because the State Department does not send notices to "losers". Also, if you move within the 9 months between submitting your application and receiving the result, you are on the safer side with THE AMERICAN DREAM. You can tell us changes of adress at any time, while if you submit your application directly to the US authorities, no changes are allowed any time after submission. This way, you might win, but never receive your winning notice.

There is much more to applying through a trustworthy green card service like THE AMERICAN DREAM. Yes, it does cost some money, but you can be sure that you will be among the qualified applicants and that you get expert help and support throughout the way. Take your time, compare for yourself, and when you are ready, apply here.

You can find our complete service program under “Our Service”. Please note that we can not process applications without payment.
