Green card lottery update

Current lottery At present, almost our entire team is busy making the last preparations for the first digital submission of all green card applications to the US government department. Some applications have already been successfully submitted, all others will follow shortly. In any case, all our customers will have their participation certificate by the end of December/beginning of January. And we are still receiving new applications which we will still digitalize completely and submit before the deadline in December.

Top rating The American Dream has received a special international honor recently: an independent jury with immigration expert Marybeth Rael rated 59 different visa consulting and green card lottery services worldwide in November 2003. They rated the price-performance ratio, the offer of information, and as the main focus the quality of the actual service. The result that we are very proud of: THE AMERICAN DREAM received the best rating of all services worldwide (!) and the following evaluation:

„AmericanDream.de, based in Germany, is our top rated site at 7 points. They charge $55.00 per application for one year ($10 discounts for early entries are available). ( ... ) They get extra points for being a member of Germany's accredited immigration consulting service. For this reason, they get high marks for information and service. AmericanDream tracks your entry, have attorney contacts, provide a telephone number, and use full natural translations. They are affiliated with DVLottery.com."

New service Of course we keep expanding our service even without the international praise. Just one week ago, we set up a new forum for green card winners on our website. This has secure password access and is only available to green card winners. It is supposed to provide the several hundred green card winners every year with a place to exchange information among themselves. In the future, each of our winners will, of course, automatically get access to that forum. Only one week after we set it up we could already register more than 3,000 hits and more than 60 posts.

New book And here's more good news: after a long preparation time, the second edition of our successful How To guidebook „Der Amerikanische Traum - Mit GreenCard oder Visum in die USA" (The American Dream - to the US with a visa or green card) (in German) has been released. Expanded by 40 pages to 560 pages and completely revised it is now more than ever THE book for all USA fans. It will take a few more days before the book will be available at the online book stores, but you may already order it via our website where you will also find further information and an updated table of contents for the second edition.
