Dear Reader,

You should use this window of opportunity - shopping in the US is cheaper than ever thanks to the strong Euro. Combine the practical with the recreational on your trip to the US and let's do some shopping! Our How To section will inform you about the best and cheapest places to do this. Of course, the important issue of customs regulations won't be left out.

And we will again be dealing with the US presidential elections, but this time from a more personal angle - we will introduce you to one presidential candidate's wife who has not had her share of the limelight so far - Teresa Kerry, daughter of the famous ketchup billionaire Heinz. Find out what she contributes to her husband's campaign besides a lot of money in our Stories and Lifestyle section.

Please also note our usual Visa FAQ with current questions about residence permits and our answers. Our newest addition is the Visa Tip of the Month.

There probably won't be any green card lottery update before May or June, when the results of last year's lottery will be in. That's why there's no separate lottery section in this newsletter. As soon as we have any news, our customers will receive an update via email.

Our next newsletter, by the way, will for once be a double feature for April and May. We apologize for the inconvenience to out loyal newsletter readers.

Sincerely yours,

The AMERICAN DREAM team
