Green Card through Marriage
Green card marriages are nothing new in the United States. It has been going on for years, but some people at one point and time, married just for the purpose of keeping the foreign born in the United States. The Immigration would actually make home visits to the homes of the couple and asked questions. Both would be questioned or you might say tested, but not together they were questioned individually.
Every year over 50,000 thousand United States citizens marry foreign-born individuals and petition permanent residency (Green Card) in the United States. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered "immediate relatives" under immigration laws; therefore they are excluded from all numerical quota limitations. This means that there are unlimited numbers of Green Cards available to foreign nationals who marry U.S. citizens. The process of completing and submitting request for a Green Card through marriage to a United States citizen can be costly and confusing.
The "Green Card through Marriage Information and Application" package is a step-by-step immigration guide to help you file your Green Card application as efficiently and quickly as possible. If the foreign national is currently outside the United States, it is possible to obtain a K-1 Fiancée/Fiancé Visa so the foreign national can come to the United States to marry the U.S. citizen once he or she arrives in the country.

USA Green Card Lottery
http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/greencard.htm/Each year, the United States government issues Green Cards through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery. Applicants are normally selected at random by a computer generated drawing. If selected, the applicant, who applied, along with their spouse and all unmarried children less than 21 years of age will have a chance to apply for permanent residences in the United States.
What is the Diversity Visa (Green Card) Lottery Program?Each year, 50,000 immigrant visas are made available through a lottery to people who come from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. None of the visas are available for people who come from countries that have sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the United States in the past five years.The lottery is held annually by State Department, approximately 110,000 or more applicants from all qualified entries are randomly selected. The State Department selects the approximately 110,000 applications since many will not complete the visa process. However once 50,000 are issued or the fiscal year ends, the lottery is closed. If an immigrant receives a visa through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, they will be authorized to live and work permanently in the United States. They will also be allowed to bring they spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 to the United States. The next Green Card Lottery will be for fiscal year 2008. Paper applications are no longer accepted. Persons who are selected are entitled to claim immigrant visa (Green Card) that will be issued between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009.

Immigration
Immigration refers to the act of entering a new country to settle permanently. Immigration has become a hot topic in the politic arena. Laws that were enacted years ago are now being challenged by politicians from all parties.
Many immigrants have entered the country illegally. Due to the increased number of illegal immigrants, many American born citizens believe the United States has been burdened financially. Some parents also tend to require translator during conferences with teachers and other parents. Immigration allows those seeking a better life through education to enter into a country such as the United States to achieve that goal.As an immigrants myself , who migrated from the West Indies over 27 years ago, in search of a better life. It has not been an easy job legally. I could only imagine how much harder it could be illegally. It pains me to see, how most of the legal and illegal immigrants are being treated.
having a successful career can also give iimmigrants resources required for comfortable living such as adequate health care. Many in smaller countries are not afforded the opportunity to obtain health care due to cost or availability of trained physicians. Daily living requirements such as food and shelter would also be attainable
