If you are selected by the lottery and also you meet the
qualifications, this will help you to obtain your permanent
residence.
Deportation: Fearing a deportation for participating is a myth!
Although nobody can guarantee to you that it will not happen;
keep in mind that Immigration has not deported undocumented
people who have cases pending for their legalization. Millions
started their case before 30 April of 2001 under the section
245i or, and the majority remains undocumented, without a work
permits and have not been deported. |

Power of Discretion |
| |
From 1996, the United States has
promulgated immigration acts that in their implementation reveal
that there is no difference between the treatment legal
residents and undocumented people receive. The anti-terrorists
acts, the Patriot Act, the Real Id Act, and the DNA Fingerprint
Act, affirm that all immigrants are inadmissible to reside in
the country if they have committed a criminal violation and have
been convicted to at least a year and a day of prison, or for
three misdemeanors. |

Fraud and
Falsification (part 2) |
| |
Many immigrants, for not having
the required documentation for their immigration process and for
not being familiar with immigration law, get themselves into a
dead end street. They consult with a qualified professional and
reveal that they committed or might commit an act of fraud or
falsification to obtain their residency; without understanding
that they are making the counselor into their accomplice. In
these cases, the legal representative will protect himself by
not accepting the case and will disassociate himself from it for
fear of losing his license. |

Fraud in
Immigration Cases (part 1) |
| |
Due to the high percentage of fraudulent cases, the
Immigration Service has established and implemented
a program to evaluate the integrity in the granting
of residency and temporary visas. The last
evaluation found that 33% of religious petitions are
fraudulent. Even though, generally Immigration will
consider the immigrant to be at fault, many times
they are the ones who are victims of unscrupulous
individual or organizations that take advantage of
their naiveness. |

Positive Changes!
The Affidavit of Support |
| |
Beginning July 21, 2006, a new regulation that clarifies the use
of the Guarantees of Support came into effect entitled “The
Affidavit of Support”. This new regulation highlights the
importance of this document when applying to be a guarantor or
declaring permanent residency. It also clarifies those who are
exempt from having to sign the guarantee to prove to the
government that the new immigrant will not be a public charge.

The government
accepts the payment of taxes of an immigrant |
| |
Contrary to what many think, all immigrants who enter the United
States as residents are considered unacceptable unless they
prove, among other things, that they will not become public
charge. However, the family members of residents and citizens
should guarantee it with a contract with the government. |
