Welcome to MigrateUS
MigrateUS.com is a website which looks to help non-American citizens to immigrate to the United States of America. We believe that the best source for information is always the US Immigration websites, hence at the end of each article we provide links to relevant US Immigration sites, this is also due to the fact that US immigration information and laws change almost monthly if not more often, with links to the immigration websites we believe we can help you understand your rights and privileges.
This website has detailed articles on the following topics Business Visa, Fiance Visa, H-1B, Skilled Migration, Student Visa, and Visa Help. The most common entry point into the US is the Green Card lottery which is available to anyone irrespective of color, race, gender, belief or country of origin.
The Green Card lottery is held each year & attracts a number of entrants from all walks of life. The rules for securing a green card are a vital part of the process, since a mistake in any of these may cause your disqualification from entering the lottery.
The first of these green card rules is that you must be a native of one of the eligible countries. The Green Card lottery is part of a diversity program which aims to ensure a diverse community, hence, unfortunately, there are some countries who's people emigrate all too often to the United States and so their participation is restricted. Some of the countries eligible are Australia, Italy, Chile, Peru & more. Importantly the main countries banned from applying in 2009 are Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Peru, Poland, Russia, South Korea, United Kingdom (except northern Ireland which is eligible) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam.
According to the US government the ultimate goal of the Green Card program is to promote a diverse and culturally vibrant United States.
