Getting a Green Card with us - our success formula

Those who managed to get a Green Card with our help are happy to tell their story! Since 1996, the government-licensed immigration consultants and USA experts of The American Dream have been supporting true America fans in getting their Green Card to immigrate to the USA.

  • Dear American Dream Team,
    although my dream of emigrating to California has faded into the background, participating in the Green Card Lottery has become a small tradition. When it actually worked after 10 years, I just had to take this unique chance, because you never know what the future will bring...
    Thanks a lot!

    Steffi M. - Hamburg, Germany
  • We always had it in the back of our minds: at some point, we want to go to the United States. Of course, we participated in the Green Card Lottery, but you never know in advance: When will you be lucky? It comes all of a sudden and unexpectedly.
    I opened the email, and it said "Congratulations!" That made me feel funny at first. And then I went crazy with joy! We had good support through The American Dream. That was the main thing for us as self-employed people: you don't have much time to take care of things on the side. It lifted a burden from us.

    Stefan and Stanija Kassek - Green Card winners from Brüggen
  • The support from The American Dream was essential, especially after the winning notification. The most important thing for me was access to the winner’s community. You can share ideas with all the other winners there: What were their experiences? What is it really like to move to the USA? Which things do you need to consider? It's also very reassuring to hear: It's all relatively easy.

    Thomas B. - Green Card winner from Bavaria
  • I've always been a USA lover. When I signed up for the Green Card Lottery, I had just returned from a Florida vacation. I applied with The American Dream out of joy and excitement. Later, I received the winning notification and didn't believe it at first. I called The American Dream, and the team told me, "Yes, you won!" That was amazing! My advice to anyone who wants to go to the USA: Don't give up!

    Noel Karrasch - Green Card winner from Halle/Saale
  • Immigrating to the USA in the middle of the COVID crisis was certainly a very challenging situation. There were additional obstacles that we would not have had to overcome under normal circumstances. But I can only recommend everyone to take it as a challenge. You can immigrate to the US, even during the pandemic. And if you have this dream, do not be discouraged!

    Franziska & Benjamin K. - Heppenheim, Germany
  • "Don't chase your dream, run towards it." So I spontaneously applied for the Green Card Lottery and on the first try it worked. Thanks TAD for the great support and always friendly assistance. I wish everyone else good luck.

    Bettina B. - Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
  • I may not have had success in the regular lottery but I won the Green Card Lottery after only one try. A childhood dream comes true which I never expected to become reality - living and working in the USA! Now I live in the the Golden State city San Diego. Thank you TAD for your great support and making my childhood dream come true.

    Stev R. - Dresden, Germany
  • After 7 years and 14 applications (my wife and I both participated to double the chances) it finally worked in 2018! Now we can finally arrive where our heart has been home for a long time. Many thanks to the TAD team for their always friendly and helpful support before, during and after the win. In autumn we will be heading to Texas, where we will live our American Dream! Our tip to all those who have not yet won: Believe in your dream, stick with it and don't give up!
