DV-2011 will definately take place

Within the last months we have heard many rumors that the next green card lottery will not take place. We have never had any doubts that those were just rumors and we are very happy that we can give you the official statement now:

The Green Card Lottery (the official name is "Diversity Visa Program") will start on October 2nd, 2009 and will run through November, 2009.

The green card program has been running for years now. It makes available more than 50,000 immigrant visas to people from certain countries, where you have a low number of immigrants to the United States. Did you know that more than half of all applicants were born in a developing country? And this was only within the last year. The top three countries in terms of participation in the green card program last year were Ghana, Nigeria and Bangladesh. A statistical breakdown of the green card program DV-2010 can be found online. It is really interesting to follow the development of all winners.

Since Barack Obama was elected for president, the interest in the green card lottery has been growing constantly.

If you would like to make YOUR dream of the "American Dream" come true, you should not hesitate to register for the next diversity visa program. We will still accept green card applications. If you are a returning customer you can easily register online.  If you are a new client, you have to fill out your personal information here.

Starting from October 2nd, the American Dream will be working on full speed. All green card applications will be checked carefully and will be sent to the US authorities in due time.

We will accept applications until November 20th.

Green Card Winners

Have a look at our new winner pictures. This time we would like to introduce to you family Heuser from Unna. They have participated in the green card lottery via The American Dream twice and won the green card on their second try. Their second child was only born this year and has received the green card as well. As you can see, the little girl cannot even hold the green card by herself yet, but we are pretty sure that she will once thank her parents for holding it for her.

More pictures and reports can be found as usual online.
