[@Atlas-tp8dw]

I think a combination of your young age, naivety about immigration and the lack of online information made you trust this agent. Most people nowadays can apply on their own because it is a very simple and straightforward process. Thank God you are here to testify and warn other people. Never give personal documents or information to anyone. You can process everything on your own.

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

Yes. You are right! I’d say that the one lesson I have learnt is that truly God uses the foolishness of this world to glorify Himself just as the Bible says. To him be all the glory.

[@ferdimako]

If he hadn't played, she wouldn't have been selected. I think she should settle the agent somewhat. The agent tagged it a business and was playing for her even when she wasn't interested or sth.

Some of them are really difficult oh. They won’t even allow you to transfer and then maybe find a job so you sort them out later oh. It takes less than 30 minutes to submit an entry and it is by pure luck and divine grace from God that someone gets selected and win so I am not sure why they charge that much from people

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

Yes Once your circumstances change after your entry submission, you need to fill out your DS260 form to reflect this change and be ready to show proof of documentation as evidence to support this change

[@ewuramabekoe2581]

I don't have a high school degree but applied as a matured student and entered the university for a degree hope that isn't going to pose a challenge?

[@appiahpokuyankyera529]

So the basic qualification is to have a minimum of 12 years of formal education (High School, SSS, SHS or A’level) its equivalent, or two years of qualifying work experience as defined under provisions of U.S. law.

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

If you are qualifying with work experience, you must have two years of experience in the last five years, in an occupation which, by U.S. Department of Labor definitions, requires at least two years of training or experience that is designated as Job Zone 4 or 5, classified in a Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) rating of 7.0 or higher. The U.S. Department of Labor provides information on job duties, knowledge and skills, education and training, and other occupational characteristics on their website www.onetonline.org/.

I have listened to your story and for sure God works in mysterious ways I had to subscribe to your content and would like to know more about the US and again I would humbly ask you if there's anything you can do pay that guy his money not that huge sum of money he was asking but a token of appreciation he devoted his time to walk you through since you knew nothing about this process I feel you should do something 😊 and God above will always shine through your ways...🙏 About Your brother he acted smart and had to handle the situation amicably with the agent because your brother snatched the meat 🍖 right away from his mouth 😅😅😅.

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

Yes oh my brother. We tried paying him a part of it but he was adamant about taking all the $7k which is a lot of money. You need to have been fully settled and integrated within the system with a very good paying job before you can possibly have such an amount laying around freely to pay someone like that oh.

Is not necessarily the email, infant email, there is a confirmation Cod is what matters, that is the most important thing, even if they apply for you, they should give you your confirmation number, (the printout form )

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

I agree with you. They should give you the confirmation number. But if they continue to do it for you year after year without your knowledge, that could turn out differently.

Iif i have onley the grade 10th certificate and grade 11th certificate the will eligible dv lottery

No, you won’t qualify based on high school degree since it needs to be equivalent to 12 years of formal education. You may have qualify based on work experience

[@Johnsonnationcontent]

My question is if i get married after application can i take my wife with me during interview

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

Yes you can. When filling out the DV lottery all the questions being asked pertains to your current situation as at the time you are completing the form. So if things change either your marital status, education status or you end up having children you can definitely include them in the visa application and interview. You must have documentation to prove the changes that have occurred since you submitted your entry

[@Johnsonnationcontent]

@@Journey_WithTheYankyeras thank you..

[@georginagraham5809]

If an agent applies for you, ask for the copy of the confirmation number, so you can check the results yourself when it comes out. The agent using their email is not a big issue, you can always check the results yourself!

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

Agreed but the problem is once you check and you are selected, your email address on file is what will be used to provide you information on next steps and the email is for someone else, it will be difficult to move on to the next steps

[@georginagraham5809]

@@Journey_WithTheYankyeras for next step, you can also check using the confirmation number, all the updated information will be there. That same information will be emailed, so there’s really no need to worry about the agent’s email.

[@ThePidginCounselor]

Are emails sent?

[@ritayankyera6340]

They used to send emails but have stopped that a long tone ago. Now people need to actively go online with their confirmation to check their status once the results are released.

@@michaelkaranja4449 An incorrect birthdate could very certainly make you ineligible for anything requiring a government application. Your application will be deemed as incorrect and could technically get you disqualified or denied a visa during the interview process

I think it was foolhardy to just give your information like that to an absolute stranger. Even after receiving confirmation from him that I have won, I would have turned over every stone with any USA consulate or whatever to inform them of the illegal activity of this guy and who was holding my information for ramsome.

Can someone get a greencard, and travel when they have a loan that has been pushing them through campus or university life 😢 please help

[@Journey_WithTheYankyeras]

Can you please clarify your question? Winning the greencard is independent of your personal circumstances, you just need to submit your application/entry and make sure you picture meets the photo requirements and you have at least high school degree. If you are selected, you go through your interview and then you get your visa to travel to the US to process your greencard. I am not sure what type loan you are talking about

@@alicekemuntovlogs3107well that is a question with your loan provider. Your chance of winning the greencard lottery has got nothing to do with your loan provider. So yes, you can win the greencard to travel to the US but the loan payment is a different discussion to have with your loan provider
