| Lottery Yarn |
a few irate or amused friends have pointed this out to me on recent outings. I'm sure all of you who have a yahoo account have noticed this huge banner on top that says GREEN CARD LOTTERY.
I for one would rather get it on my own merits - say, legal employment?
So i checked out if the facts they presented were true, and there it was in big bold letters: that apparently Filipinos (among others like Mexico, India, Taiwan, Colombia, El Salvador etc.) are not allowed to enter the lottery. But if you are from Iraq you can. Ironic.
BUT according to the site, these are certain countries that are not eligible only because they are the principal source countries of Family-Sponsored and Employment-Based immigration, or "high admission" countries .
I think its a fair enough reason - your discretion as to which pertains to the Philippines - but in any case, don't blow a gasket people. yeesh.
I abhor shortcuts!
