Loteria DV 2005 nie jest zle!

[pinkink]

W dzisiejszym, sobotnim wydaniu New York Time pisza o tegorocznej loterii.
Okazuje sie, co bylo zreszta do przewidzenia, ze jest znacznie mniej (ok.
polowa) zgloszen niz w poprzednich latach.

Przyczyny tego stanu to brak dostepu do odpowiedniego sprzetu (Internet,
digital camera), strach przed namierzeniem przez inne agencje rzadowe,
glownie Bezpieczenstwa Narodowego (dawne INS), czy w koncu wyeliminowanie
wielokrotnych zgloszen.

Mysle, ze to dobra wiadomosc dla grajacych Polakow. Wiecej szans na bycie
wylosowanym.
Zycze powodzenia i spieszcie sie.
Jeszcze macie kilka dni do konca grudnia.

Fear and Tight Screening Stem Green Card Lottery
By NINA BERNSTEIN

Published: December 27, 2003

Citizenship



For years it has been the annual wild card of American immigration policy: a
worldwide lottery in which millions gamble on winning a green card, and with it
the chance to live and work legally in the United States. But this year, with a
Dec. 30 deadline looming and 55,000 green cards at stake, the lottery has
attracted fewer than half the usual number of applications, falling to 5 million
from as many as 13 million.

The startling drop-off, everyone agrees, results from the fact that for the
first time applications are being accepted only by computer, and government
officials say that has curtailed duplications and fraud.

But immigrants and their advocates say the falloff, while linked to the
computerization, results from a variety of other factors: fear of giving
information to the government online; lack of access to computers; and new
opportunities for immigrants to be defrauded.

The falloff, and the different explanations, show that like so much else
involving immigrants and government the lottery is being transformed by new
perceptions of fear and uncertainty.

State Department officials insist that the apparent decline is misleading. For
the first time, the officials said, they can electronically compare
applications, automatically disqualify anyone who applies more than once, and
store information about applicants. In the past, they say, multiple applications
often went undetected including many from immigrants desperate to legalize their
undocumented lives in New York.

But immigrants themselves say other reasons are also depressing the numbers.
Some people simply lack access to the tools to apply: a digital photo scanner, a
computer and an Internet connection. Some already in the United States fear that
leaving a computer trail could make them targets of deportation. And hundreds of
thousands of others who thought that they were applying were tricked instead, by
official-looking Web sites run by a Fort Lauderdale couple living their own
version of the American dream.

The couple, John Romano and Hoda M. Nofal, bought a $1.5 million waterfront
home, paid off more than $739,000 in credit card debt and amassed a $3.5 million
bank account by fraudulently collecting fees for Internet lottery applications
that were never submitted, according to criminal charges filed against them in
October by federal authorities.

Now, with only a week to go, upstart businesses in computer shops, tax offices
and basements all over New York are offering to help would-be applicants play
the new odds. Some are scams, New York City officials warned last week. But many
are just part of the age-old self-help network of former greenhorns.

A currency trader from Northern Ireland, for example, recently found aid at a
tiny copy shop run by Bangladeshis on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, after
discovering by chance that he was one of those conned by the Florida couple's
Web site.

The copy shop, on West 77th Street, is so small that it offers only
standing-room use of its two computers, for $6 an hour. But two of the three
Bangladeshi men behind the counter are past green-card lottery winners, and they
were already trying to help one of their own countrymen convert a passport
photograph into digital pixels when the Irish trader confided his troubles.

"After about a dozen tries, we got it in," the trader said, pleading for
anonymity after disclosing that he had overstayed temporary visas for seven
years. "It was the blind leading the blind."

Word spread, and in recent days a small stream of local deliverymen has come to
the copy shop for similar help for about $15 — "black people, Chinese people,
Yemeni, Egypt," said Sanu Sheak, the shop's Bangladeshi owner, whose
brother-in-law is another lottery winner.

"Everybody has a dream to come to America — the golden dream," added Mr. Sheak,
39, who sold flowers in the street and cleaned offices at night when he first
arrived in 1986. "They think that it's easy, but then they come here and find out."

Hi, hannamay

[hannamay]

hey pinkink ( uwielbiam twoj nick - bardzo artystyczny ):

Tak na przyszlosc-link, ktory wyslalas byl jak najbardziej poprawny i kazda
osoba ( ja takze) ktora jest zarejestrowana na "The New York Times on the Web"
mogla po wstukaniu swojego ID i passsword otworzyc link.
Problem z otwarciem danej strony jest tylko wowczas gdy nie jest sie
zarejestrowanym. Wiekszosc artykulow z NYT po prostu nie mozesz przeczytac.

Swoja droga ciekawe kiedy gazeta.pl wprowadzi takie zasady :))))

Pozdrawiam i dzieki za link:)

[Gość: alex]

trzeba do zgloszenia zalaczyc zdjecie, wiec potrzeban jest albo kamera cyfrowa
albo scanner

[Gość: Karolina]

Dla Moni: Potwierdzenie zgłoszenia to było to, co wyświetliło się na końcu
aplikacji: "success." Informację na adres internetowy miały być wysyłane tylko
wtedy, gdy aplikacja została wypełniona przez kandydatażle. Poza tym, podanie
adresu internetowego nie było obowiązkowe ("optional"), więc można się
spodziewać, że żadne 'potwierdzenia' nie będą wysyłane. Powodzenia!

[Gość: Monia]

Dziekuje bardzo Karola za odpowiedz!! :)
