When am I notified if I have won a greencard? What
is the subsequent procedure?
In early November you receive a mailing certificate as an acknowledgment
of the receipt of your Greencard application directly from the USA. Unfortunately
the raffle itself takes quite some time. The US government will only
inform about the outcome in spring 2004. You can expect information directly
from THE AMERICAN DREAM between April and June 2003. All our participants
will be informed, even if they have not won. However, the final result
will most likely only be established by the end of June!
At this time we will then inform you how to proceed. Our
service program also includes our preparing you in this case and without
any additional costs. This is because in case you have won more forms
will have to be filled in and an appointment with the US embassy to be
taken.

May I apply anew every year?
Yes, as long as this program is in existence you may participate
once a year until you have actually won. However, please note that a new
application with a new picture and signature is required each year since
the old applications can not be recycled. Only one application may be submitted
per person and year!

Why is the country of birth more
important than citizenship?
In accordance with the eligibility provisions, an applicant’s country
of birth is the most important criterion. Given the rate at which some
national borders change and the number of applications that require verification,
US authorities do not make any exceptions to this provision.
Even if you are not a citizen of the country in which you were born,
you must still specify this country as the country of your birth. Your
citizenship is not relevant at any time during the process.

Can a winner be accepted into
the US Army?
You can work in almost all professions including most areas of the US
Army. The few areas of army and politics which are not accessible are
usually open to you at least after having acquired US citizenship. You
can usually acquire US-citizenship after 5 years having the greencard.
