Answer 1

I went thorough the green card process because my wife is a US citizen.

I thought about buying the "do-it-yourself" kit rather than paying a lawyer thousands of dollars. The do-it-yourself kit not only provides the forms you need to fill out, but gives you step-by-step procedures. For instance, you cannot (should not) hand in all the forms all at once. You have to send in one form, and need to wait until you hear from USCIS. Then you send in your medical exam stuff and other things that come afterwards. And then you wait again and again... It is very difficult and almost impossible for a person to go through the green card process by himself without any help and expect to get everything correct. (that's why lawyers are still around to help you). If you have lots (I mean LOTS) of time and energy but have no money, go buy books and several to-do-it yourself kits and study and read them and compare them to each other because US immigration laws consistantly change.

So... after a long decision, I decided to use a lawyer for $1000 (and he is out of state). We did it by email/phone and I mailed my forms to the lawyer.

Answer 2

It may not be scam, but they will charge you for something you can get online for FREE.

If you go to the USCIS website you can download whatever form you need, not only that, you can fill it out online and then print it.

You can file the papers yourself if you are careful and make sure everything is done correctly. Those people are NOT going to help you do that.

If you think you'll need a lawyer, you still will, even if you buy their 'packages'.

This is the webpage where you can download the forms from:

Don't spend $85 on something you can get for free.

Answer 3

SCAM!!

You can get the same forms by contacting Immigration or your nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

It is not that easy to get a Green Card. Remember, they only offer to send you the forms for you to fill out, and these forms ar forwarded to immigration. They do not guarantee that you will get a green card.

Be Careful

Answer 4

The government clearly states there is no need to pay for forms or assistance from organizations such as that one.
The FTC says the best way to protect against green card lottery scams is to understand how the State Department’s lottery works.

There’s no charge to enter the green card lottery. You can enter on your own at the State Department’s Web site ­— www.dvlottery.state.gov. You’ll need to answer a few questions and provide passport-style digital photographs. You’ll get an acknowledgment from the State Department once you’ve submitted your entry.

Hiring a company or attorney to enter the lottery for you is your decision, but the person you pay will have to follow the same procedure. And your chance of being selected is the same whether you submit the entry or you pay someone to do it for you.
Submit only one entry. If you submit more than one, you will be disqualified.
Selection of entries is random. Spouses who are eligible for the DV lottery can apply separately; the “losing” spouse can enter the country on the Diversity Visa of the “winning” spouse. This is the only legitimate way to significantly increase your chance of entering the U.S. through the DV lottery.
Be alert to Web sites promising government travel or residency documents online or by mail. Except for entering the DV lottery, most applications for visas, passports, green cards, and other travel and residency documents must be completed in person before an officer of the U.S. government.
Be thoughtful about who you send your personal documents to. Unless you have an established relationship with a business, do not mail birth certificates, passports, drivers’ licenses, marriage certificates, Social Security cards, or other documents with your personal identifying information to businesses promising to complete your application for travel or residency documents. These businesses may be engaged in identity theft.
Be skeptical of Web sites posing as U.S. government sites. They may have domain names similar to government agencies, official-looking emblems (eagles, flags, or other American images like the Statue of Liberty or the U.S. Capitol), the official seals or logos of — and links to — other government sites, and list Washington, D.C., mailing addresses. If the domain name doesn’t end in “.gov,” it’s not a government site. Bogus sites may charge for government forms. Don’t pay; government forms and instructions for completing them are available from the issuing U.S. government agency for free.
