Yes, it's a lottery to allow potential immigrants to the US to "win" a green card and the right to work in the US.

Then I made sure I checked the fine print at the bottom...Sure enough, not a government agency, and it mentions reimbursement for legal fees if you PURCHASE a package.


Yep. SCAM.

I didn't work my way through the form, but I wonder how much people are paying to at least have hope they're legally emigrating to the US.

It requires you purchase a package on the 2nd page. Let me see if I can find contact info.

I'm not sure, but I'm assuming there's ways to do it that don't involve 3rd party agencies.

Yep wait in line, where as I'm thinking the company here gets a slotted ammount per year depending on their influence

There is no line, it's a lottery.  You may get in the first year, you may never get in.

Im not saying this isnt a scam, but a legal and real green card lottery does exist, made by the government.

So essentially, they have a program where they... pick people at random to come on in with a greencard?

People is such a dirty word, with all its implications of sentience and humanity.  They pick "clients" or "applicants" or "immigrant scum" at random to come on in with a greencard.
