Processing fees

 

Type of Residence Card Status Amount (per person)

United States Permanent Resident Card Granted! - Waiting for payment of processing fee $879

Processing fees Included

Total $879

Although the Diversity Visa participation was free, the law and regulations require to every diversity visa winner to pay a visa processing fee of $879. The Diversity Visa(Green Card) is guaranteed upon receiving the payment.

The per person fee for each Diversity Visa is $879, payable in U.S. dollars or equivalent of your local currency. This $879 fee is the only fee a winner needs to pay throughout the entire relocation process.

Accompanying family members(wife/husband, fiancee, brothers, sisters, childrens, cousins) may be included in the program and their visas will be provided at the same time with yours so you can travel/move together in the same time. However the fees must be paid per person and each member(e.g wife, brother, parents, childrens, cousin) must pay $879. There is no discount for childrens.

 

Please note that you are allowed to take with you as many family members you want. However for each person you must pay an additional amount of U.S $879

For example if you decide to move in the United States with your wife and a kid the total fee is US$879(your fee) + US$879(your wife) + US$879(your kid) = US $2637 .

 

PURPOSE: The U.S. Department of State uses the fee payment primarily to process your visa related documents and verify your identity.

someone must hve to open an account before the money can be transferred into.... :ph34r:

 

go after the one who open the accoubnt .. [sly]

 

With Western Union, you only need someone to send you money in your name or something you can ID, and a number.

You can go to any WU branch and get cold hard cash without any bank account.

 

That's why it's a wonderful tool for the scammers.

Then the international bank authority should tell WU to change the way they do biz or close shop.....

Be it lax or stringent, it is just a mean to send money. Importabt thing is sender must clearly know the recipient. I sometines use WU to send money and I do find it convenient.

Haha... What I am trying to say is simple. Ultimately the aim is to catch the robber, not the car. I do agree that if the robber is forced to register before renting the car would be better but to say that WU is at fault here is not appropriate...
