Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery

For those who loves America, or wishes to reside in the Land of the Free, one might think that you need plenty of cold, hard cash for migration.

Or at the very least, good skill qualifications so that you can get the relevant visa to work in USA.
Probably a company like Google or Facebook to hire you over.
In Google, they are paid to sit on huge pillows.
And this is one facebook office. damn.


There is another way, a not-so well known method of being an American Permanent Resident.


Lottery.

Granted that the odds of winning is extremely low, it is however free of charge to enter. You only need a proper passport photo, and a few minutes of your time to enter your details for the Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery. (Otherwise known as the Green Card Lottery)

Do not be deceived by some companies providing "consultation services" on this lottery entry or information. This lottery is by the USA government and costs NOTHING.

The Diversity Immigrant Visa program is lottery for receiving "United States Permanent Resident Card", to provide for a new class of immigrants known as "diversity immigrants" (DV immigrants). About 55,000 permanent resident visas would be made available annually to natives of countries deemed to have low rates of immigration to America.
The reason is for USA to have a diverse range of immigrants to establish their roots in the United States.

Countries like China, Philippines, Bangladesh are out.... because of the large number of migrants to USA annually.


And yes, Singaporeans and Malaysians are some of the citizens allowed to apply for the Diversity Lottery.

(The entry submission period for DV-2014 is from 12:00PM EDT (GMT -4) on October 2, 2012 to 12:00PM EDT (GMT -4) on November 3, 2012.)



I still prefer a job at Google...
