Apply for the US Visa Lottery??

Are you talking about the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery? It does work. That is how I got my green card. Yet, it is a lottery after all. The application period is now over, so you will have to wait until the fall of 2007 if you want to part take.

Cheers!

HI :)

Yes this is true, I did not know sooner about the Us lottery for visa, but there is some great help which i was given for just the price of asking. I will hopefully submit and have princeton guide guide me through this for 2007 but for now I work on going to the USA for Treaty Trader (E1) Visa that princeton point out and explain well.

Do you think it is good idea to apply for the trader e1 visa?

Thanks :)
 
Two things:-

First, I would not recommend PAYING someone to fill out a Diversity Visa lottery application on my behalf. After all, its not going to improve your chances of success simply by giving money to someone else. Fill out the form and send it in yourself.

Second, the E-1 (treaty trader) and E-2 (investor) visas have no "dual intent", so you cannot enter the US with one and later adjust to an immigrant visa category. Many people overlook this restriction, and later complain when their business ends and they must leave the country.

I know very little about the E-1 category, but I do have some limited familiarity with E-2 as many of my fellow countrymen are using them as a means to start businesses here in the US. They are not too onerous to obtain, but you must start a legitimate business and employ sufficient local people. E-1/E-2 visas are issued by your local US Consulate, so you can probably find out more information either online or in your host country.
