Winners

SetHeight450 Familie D. GreenCard Gewinner

Family D., GreenCard winners from Loerrach (Germany)

After participating in the lottery for 12 years, we were informed about winning in May, 2010. At that time, we were just moving from New Zeeland to Australia. We faced a problem when filling in the forms which was caused by the time in NZ and which put the receipt of the green card at risk.
Yet, through the great support and good connections of The American Dream, we had been able to send the forms to Kentucky in July. We went from there in short steps and received the invitation to Frankfurt, saw the doctors, had the interview in the beginning of December, activated the card between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in Washington D.C. and were sent the green card at the end of January. We will be moving to Colorado in the middle of March, 2011 and would like to let The American Dream know, how thankful we are for their work and help.

SetHeight450 Michael D. GreenCard Gewinner

Michael D., GreenCard Winner from Sibnen, Switzerland

Thanks a lot The American Dream for the competent service, moreover a big compliment to co-worker J. Krüger. You were always there for me and my family helping us to find a solution to our problems or concerns.
The way which led me to the GreenCard it is kind of curious, I have to go back in time:
I run away from home when I was 14 years old, I wanted to go to the USA. My dream always was to live in the US, but time passed by… I married, I got two children and 18 years ago I emigrated to Spain. After being through an operation two years ago I was bored and by chance found The American Dream website, I applied for the lottery immediately and look what happened: In May I received the winner’s notification. I was unemployed at the time (things were kind of difficult in Spain) and it was tough for me to finance the whole thing but I managed it and we will fly this year still to the U.S.

I participated in DV-11 and it was my first attempt. I was overjoyed when I received in March 2011 the notification of winning. To be a GreenCard holder was one of my dreams since I was 15 years old.
With the support and the guidance of The American Dream I was able to register myself for the DV-11 and my dream became true. I can only recommend The American Dream, they not only answered all my questions, they also showed me the right way to go.
Thank you so much.

Thank you TAD for the good support. I have participated in the lottery for 16 years and now, I have finally won the “GC”. Everything went smoothly. After my activation flight in NY, I am planning on immigrating to the land of opportunity. A dream comes true!

Anna N. GreenCard Winner from Duesseldorf

Dear American Dream Team,
After a couple of years of luckless participation, I did receive an Email from you with the notification of winning. First thought: Spam!??!? Then quickly followed the interview appointment at the Consulate in March and the GreenCard activation trip in August.
Now I am a GreenCard holder and soon I will be crossing the “big pond”! Thank you for your support on the first clumsy steps to get there.

First of all I want to express my heartfelt thanks to all the employees at The American Dream, especially to Ina Koehler, for the excellent personal and individual support! To everyone that is trying to get a green card - please don't give up hope - it took us 17 years until we were finally selected! Now we are living in sunny California and are 100% sure that it was worth all the effort! Many thanks for everything. And to all current participants at the lottery we wish the best of luck in the coming drawing.

Played for the first time and instantly won! We could hardly believe it and still it's true. With this picture we would like to give a big thank you to "The American Dream" Team, who helped us with everything with competence and stood by our side with professionalism. Also, the experiences, tips and pointers in the winner's forum were very helpful! With these words we want to encourage you all, you just have to firmly believe in it!

The USA means the following to me:
Fantastic, diverse, breathtaking scenery and nature; magnificent, fascinating cities with unlimited entertainment and cultural possibilities; cosmopolitan, tolerant, multicultural people, who are full of the joys of life; cool cars.
Without the winning notification from TAD by mail I would not be in San Francisco now…
Thanks so much dear American Dream Team for the wonderful support!

SetHeight450 Joseph H. GreenCard Gewinner

Josef H., GreenCard winner from Rosenheim (Germany)

Yippeee, only 5 weeks after my return from my first entry to the US, I was sent the eagerly awaited green card by TAD. After almost 10 years of unsuccessful participation in the DV-lottery through TAD, I was finally lucky :) My long-cherished dream of living the American dream will come true, at last.
During my first stay, I had literally stepped on the gas and I returned with a brand-new driver licence :) I will combine business and pleasure and work as a truck driver for cash to have a look at the States for a few years before I decide to finally settle down.
Thank you so much, TAD, for the impeccable processing!

Steven C., GreenCard winner from Glattpark, Switzerland

Thank you so much for great support! My plan is to go to a language school while I am still in Canada and then I will move to Texas and live with my grandparents.

SetHeight450 Frau M.R. GreenCard Gewinner

Ms. M.R., GreenCard winner from Olbersdorf (Germany)

A huge thank-you to The American Dream. I had participated only once and I won right away!
Due to your great support, I’m holding the green card in my hand. I’m already excited for my live in the USA. I will be an official inhabitant of California beginning in 2012.
