I agree with huangjs You only tell them your intent IF you win the DV and IF you already applied for the DV processing. The reason is because in the forms, they ask you if you've ever applied for a US visa, and have you ever been denied a US visa. entering the lottery is not sufficient enough...

obviously people who read and reply to this thread and obviously people who are still in the running to participate in future (possible) lotteries.

*sigh* why can't people read? I never argue about the chances being higher or lower between regions. I said your chances yourself lowers with the increment of applicants. You never compete with people with different regions ie this year you are in Europe pool, next year it becomes Nigeria...

Terrorist MO Marry 4 wives. Enter them all in green card lottery. More than quadruple the probability of winning. Repeat. Win the DV lottery. Leave the other wives. Unless you're one of the wives, its a winners situation.

Try getting your girlfriend pregnant while she is on the pill to see if you're really "lucky" I don't know if people realize that at 14.7 million entrants, chances are very very very close to zero anyway. and 14 million is like a word but that is like 14 000 000 That is, like...

Technology and the internet has increased awareness of the Diversity Visa Program in the recent years and numbers of applicants have kept on increasing with the increasing awareness of the program. In 2012, a record breaking 14.7 million applicants! The highest ever! This means that the...

Question relevant to the main topic: I saw the DOS statement about catching duplicates, and indeed they said that they could only evaluate for duplicates in the pool of winners... this is bothersome to me because won't that mean that people can send in as many forms to increase their odds and...

I have a few US friends who are lawyers and law students. The consensus right now is a very very tough job market. Law school students are suing back their lawschools because they don't have a job.. Even if you are a US citizen, being an attorney in one state means you can only practice in...

Very true. But you have to look at what is considered a "crime" in those countries. Crime = breaking the law. In Singapore, you are not allowed to spit in public. Spitting is illegal.. Chewing gum was illegal until 2004. Do people do it? Yes, sure. It is a small crime. Other crimes like...

New Mumbai Yup. This is what US needs. Investors and money flowing IN. "US Realty Turns Hot Property: Indians snapping up big housing deals" ht...

Racist much? Why not? After all, most of the cities in the US are named after the place of origin of immigrants who settled here. New York, New England, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Orleans, Lafayette, Des Plaines, Baton Rouge, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Fe, San Francisco, New Mexico...

I totally agree with you GNH. They need to reform the immigration system. Immigration has great benefits (if you filter who you let in, unlike the random DV lottery). There are millions of qualified skilled professionals and extraordinary workers who can work to improve the US economy, but...

Funny you should say that. They are welcoming more Americans. The number of American expats in China is growing. A lot more americans are looking for jobs outside of the US because its harder to find jobs in their own country.

Wow. What country are you from? Must be pretty bad over there like it is in the US. Many countries have a ban on unauthorized firearms (only police and military are allowed) therefore there is almost no gun-related crimes. A good example of a crime free community is Singapore. Every vice is...

Just so you know, the "petition" also plays no effect on the results and outcome of the lottery fyi. Go to the petition website and it tells you that it is not an "official" serious petitioning site. People there petition against their favorite tv shows being cancelled and such. There is no...

This probably makes me ineligible BUT I'm pretty sure the DV instructions say that you can claim EITHER your birth country or your Citizenship (OR the country of your spouse's citizenship). I was born in a country that does not recognize jus soli citizenship ie only giving citizenship to...
