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.

I beleive it is a righteous thing to fuck with these people.  Could you put up details in OMF?

[Lies]

Omg, my mother tried to do one of those a long time ago...

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

So how much does it actually cost to legally become a citizen??

[Suu]

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

[Requia ☣]

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

This made me cry. Thanks, America.

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

[Lies]

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.
