The US Embassy in Azerbaijan disseminates information on the Green card Visa Lottery

04 June 2019 10:37 (UTC +04:00)

The US Embassy in Azerbaijan has disseminated information concerning with the Diversity Visa Program (Greencard Visa Lottery).

The Embassy told APA that increase is seen in the number of individuals applying here in Baku through so-called “Green Card” organizations and other companies. But in spite of what these companies often say, using them to submit your DV Program application does not increase your chances of being selected at all, costs you money. And in reality can significantly harm your chances of immigrating or even traveling to the United States. “Once applicants give their biographic information to one of these companies, they often continue to enter these people year after year, even without permission. If applicants are selected, these “Green Card” companies charge outrageous fees for them to access their account -- something that is free if they apply on their own. Often these companies enter incorrect applicant information. A person could be selected in the DV Program, pay large fees to a “Green Card” company, and then be disqualified because their application contained inaccurate personal information.”

The information reads these three important tips when applying for the DV Program:

- Make sure you are listed as the primary contact person on the application fee,

- Make sure only you have the entry identification number,

- Your chances of being selected are not better if you are paying someone for “help” with your application
