USAFIS is a non governmental agency, assisting people in getting a Green Card through diversity lottery program. Applying for green card lottery is FREE of CHARGE! but due to error and incomplete information lot of forms are rejected every year and that is where USAFIS comes in play, there job is not to provide green card, but they check and verify the application form that you are going to submit and for this service they charge you that is all...now I don't understand why there is so much comment regarding scam and other negative comments...

Winning a US green card is such an opportunity that I feel you should take no chance at all, if any one is not confident about the terms and regulation for filling an application form then you should take any paid service from an trusted organization like, USAFIS for an example..

The DV program is the most unique one out there. Many of the visas the U.S Department issues contain strict set of qualifications. With the DV program, all you need is some basic education requirements and a bit of good luck. USAFIS is the leading application review provider for the Green card Lottery program. If a person is eligible for the program, USAFIS will guarantee the application will qualify for the DV.

yes my friend I also saw USAFIS website and there they have specified that they will charge you for there services and also that they are not providing any guarantee that you will win, rather USAFIS offer the service of documentation and verification of your application form, that's all it is about so don't get confused that USAFIS is providing green card, in a lottery system how can any body guarantee you that you will win...no one off course...

Each year, the Diversity Lottery (DV) Program makes 50, 000 immigrant visas available through a lottery. So no one can guarantee you that you will surely win. Only one can claim that your application form will be accepted for sure and that is what USAFIS is claiming, USAFIS is not claiming that they will provide you green card, they are only claiming that there documentation and verification process is so reliable and they are so good in it that the chances of your form been getting approved will be very high and if your form is approved then there is a chance that you might win... there are various scam running and misusing USAFIS name so beware from them...

there is a alert section on USAFIS site for there clients please go through it

USAFIS is only Promising a Successful Submission of your DV Lottery Application Form for green card lottery

What I want to comment is that - USAFIS is a non governmental agency (clearly specified in there website), assisting people in getting a Green Card through diversity lottery program. With there expertise, they can make the process of getting a Green Card simpler, by preparing a to-the-point and error free application for you.

It’s true that people can apply to Diversity Lottery program for free, whereas USAFIS charge some money for the services provided. But it doesn’t mean that they make any false promises to people. USAFIS only guarantee the acceptance of your application to the DV lottery program. Whoever is claiming that they promised them a Green Card is totally wrong? No one can guarantee you a green card through Diversity Lottery program.

USAFIS only help users in making successful submission of AV lottery application form. Their job is to simply remove all the possible chances of making mistakes and prepare an application with comprehensive details and documentations. So why there is so much hype that this is a fraud company. I can't understand that it all clarified on there website. Please go through it and then make any comment.

A USA visa is a permit to enter United States of America. It classifies the visit as tourism, study, short term business or full time work, and is normally valid for multiple visits to the USA during a specified period of time. Immigrant Visa is for someone who intends to live and work permanently in the USA (Green Card - Lawful Permanent Residents).

Green Card is a dream for every immigrants, that is why companies usually try to cheat innocent people by false commitments, and unfortunately many of us fall for it... so always beware from such sites always deal from a organization that has years of experience and are trust worthy...

It seems that there are endless numbers of company who claim to provide you a green card, beware from such claims, cause no one can offer you green card other the US Government authorized agency and that is also offered via lottery system...so there is no guarantee that you will definitely get the green card...

you are absolutely correct my friend, I think the lack of knowledge among us is the only reason that fraud companies steal money from innocent customers... and all of you have done a great job by doing this discussion, it will help lot of people who don't know anything about DV Lottery system...

In 2004, over 10 million people applied for the U.S. Green Card Lottery program and over 2 million were automatically disqualified. USAFIS guarantee a person if he/she is eligible for the Green Card Lottery program then that individual's application will qualify for the program.

USAFIS is a for profit company that ensures if a person is eligible for the U.S. Green Card Lottery program that the person's application will qualify for the program. USAFIS does not guarantee winning in the DV Lottery.

USAFIS has hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers. Many people who apply for the U.S Green Card Lottery program are from countries where English may only be taught as a foreign language or not taught at all. This makes it difficult for the average person to fill out the forms and make it through the U.S. Green Card Lottery application phase. USAFIS is a professional pair of eyes to make sure what you write and fill out meets the standards of the U.S. State Department.

USAFIS has a 24/7 customer service center and provides information about the U.S. Green Card Lottery program in 14 different languages. This is a great service for those who do not have a great command of the English language, the proper computer tools. The USAFIS organization has reviewed millions of photos determining whether or not a person's picture can be submitted to the U.S. State Department for consideration in the Green Card Lottery program.

USAFIS tiene cientos de miles de clientes satisfechos, Mucha gente que intenta entrar en la lotería de la tarjeta verde provienen de países donde el Inglés es una lengua secundaria o no se habla en absoluto. Esto hace que sea difícil para una persona normal rellenar todos los formularios y pasar la fase de solicitud. USAFIS es como un par de ojos profesionales que vigilan que todo este correcto para el Departamento de Estado.

dear friends,
I am Vijesh from India, recently 1 of my fren was selected in green card lottery process. His name Avnish Thakre. He took services of Usafis for filing his application, told me that he was right in doing so. They took off so much of burden of filling the forms and applications. I don't know why people have so much complaint against this company.
Avnish decided to go for their services only after getting to know people who have got the green card after taking services of Usafis.
Usafis I wish you all the luck.

This company states on their website "The Usafis Organization provides an easy and convenient registration service for the annual Green Card Lottery program. We will **ensure your application is registered in time and **without errors. Each application is checked and you will be contacted if corrections or additional submissions are required in order for your application to be valid. Each year approximately 25% of all entries are disqualified, many for formal reasons".

I paid a lot of money for this service. My application for the green card was entered incorrectly with the wrong birthdate which means I will be disqualified. They state that they will register my application without errors and they didnt and it can not be changed for this years entry.

I also paid extra money for a VIP membership. I was meant to recieve 9 language cd's which I havent. So what have I actually paid $593.00 for? They are meant to provide a service to assist me and they havent. I called to get a refund on my payment made but was denied any refunds. I was questioned why it took me so long to phone in regards to not recieving the discs...that is irrelevant.

I made my payments in October 2009 and when I phoned about not receiving anything that I was promised they changed the invoices on my membership page with the wrong dates on them. They told me I was not entitled to a refund because I was already entered into the lottery (even though I have been disqualified due to their mistake) So I have pretty much paid $593 for absolutely nothing. I am going to fight for my money so if anyone else is in a similar situation please contact me.

I also do not get a clear reason why my money could not go back and just didiscount?

we do have to fight to get our property back.
because it turns out, usafis can not guarantee we win meant his promise to ensure we win can not be trusted anymore.

"El programa DV es el más exclusivo disponible. Muchos de los visados que emite el Departamento de EU conllevan muchos requisitos estrictos a seguir. Con el programa DV lo único que necesita es una educación básica y un poco de suerte. USAFIS es la compañía líder en presentar personas para la lotería DV.
