DV won but i have no address for my Green Card delivery :/

[Yahudi 1]

No one is going to physically check the address, put down a hotel address. If it makes you feel better choose an extended stay hotel where you can easily say that you'll stay there a few months while looking for a job and apartment, etc. You could also try what someone else suggested, contact a Macedonian cultural organization or church or something and see if they'll help out.

Incidentally it is actually fairly unusual for a DV winner to know absolutely no one in the US, but when it happens like in your case most people put a hotel.

Correct, but the embassy said not to put a hotel address, and i can't really give an oath before the interview while feeling as i lied during it, if you know what i mean, I wouldn't want to be in an uncomfortable situation.

I have contacted a few people, trust me but the level of unawareness on the lottery makes them resign even if they accept to get the GC's mailed to them, which is why i felt people on here are more aware and have been in some type of immigration obstacles that they've sook help here at least once, and i felt people that check the Q's here would usually feel like helping someone out, and it's not like i'm asking for a big deal except get something mailed to them, which they'll see its USCIS sealed and not a whatever someone said few replies before me.

Some mail forwarding services I have used in the past: MyDakotaAddress com and www sbimailservice com - they are not free, but very reliable.

Have you used them for USCIS mail?

Go to a UPS store and get a mailbox with them. They have an actual mailing address instead of a P.O. Box. We've used them before with no issues. Plus they have 24 hour access to your mailbox.

Also, the hotel address I think may only be an issue if you put the name of the hotel on there too, they have a street address - some even have an actual mailbox. If in the end you go with a hotel don't forget to ask at the desk first if you can receive mail there. You wouldn't want to have anything sent and it got returned cause the receptionist didn't recognise your name.

Maybe I'm confused, but doesn't a DV lottery winner need a sponsor? Then the GC gets mailed to the sponsor's address. My hubby's cousin was a DV lottery winner and he lived with his sponsor until he got on his feet and on his own with a job and apartment.

i asked the embassy about that also, a sponsor is if you don't have any financial capability to stand on your own feet until you start providing finances for yourself, they said 10,000$ per person is enough.

I have a question i found a person in virginia, he's going to be my 'sponsor' , my question is can i just land in virginia where my 'sponsor' is pay the GC fees, and take a next plane from the same airport right to my final destination in florida? Or that thing would be impossible having the temporaral visa and just as i've landed in virginia? i know i can change the address after i land but can i change the address to florida later? I'm just unaware because i don't want to stay in virginia, it would be a torture not being where you want to be, if you know what i mean

sbimailservice.com is very good

Not everyone needs a sponsor. We are Australian winners and didn't need a sponsor. It depends on the consulate and country.

Hello, i won the Diversity Visa as a beneficiary since my parent was the winning applicant, but i don't have an address to get our Green Cards delivered to , because we don't have anyone in the US. We want to reside in Florida, near Miami, this is a forum where some of us have experienced similar issues, so i hope that someone would share their address and could hand the green cards to me. The place we want to reside to is Florida and around Miami, if someone would share their address and write as a welcoming letter, so it wouldn't look as i randomly came up with the address it would be very appreciated, because we really have no one.Other states might be considered if no one comes up in Florida, but since we're short of money we prefer the address to be in Florida, Thank you !!

Winning the lottery involves so many steps. It just not winning and them giving you a green card. You need so much steps and I suggest you start reading on what to do next. Trust me you need more than a strangers address so they can hand you green card later. Look here I hope someone else refer you to a thread here about the steps because I don't know where to find it. Good luck.

you have a sponsor, why not use his or her address?

When you get to the US, no one cares where you live just make sure you can get your GC.

[EmilyW 1,226]

You don't have to fly to your 'sponsor's' address. You can fly to Florida and then, once your 'sponsor' receives the GC, they can Fedex it overnight to you.

How much are you paying this "sponsor"?

crazy ^ , im not paying anything , it's someone i know that i met online but i thought he wasn't willing to help me out. You know i don't even like the US if i start telling you how i ended up playing this lottery..

I've seen crazier on this site. And I'm not sure I'd be willing to trust sending something as valuable as a green card to someone that you don't even know (not sure meeting online for sole purpose of using an address or finding a sponsor really knows as "knowing"). I'd be very careful about things like this. They may not want money now, but once they have your GC in hand, that story may change...

I'd much rather rent a mailbox as Mailboxes, Etc. and pay the small monthly fee to know that I will actually get my card when it's ready.
