Win FREE Airfare to the US!
Marks & Acalin offer a free airplane
ticket to the United States to winners of the annual Green Card
Lottery who registered in the program using our law office.
Who qualifies?
You must
register for the Green
Card Lottery using the Marks & Acalin web site. When you win the
Green Card Lottery, you will receive additional documents to
complete and sign before you are issued your United States visa.
After you receive your diversity visa, you qualify for the free
airline ticket to America.
How do I get my free ticket?
After your US visa has been issued to you,
send us a copy of your visa and a copy of your passport. (Please
do not send us your original visa or passport!) We will then enter
you in a supplemental lottery drawing for the free ticket. Several
supplemental drawings are held throughout the year, so remember to
notify Marks & Acalin of your intention to participate as soon as
possible after you are issued your US visa.
Are there any limitations?
Yes. You must request to participate in
the supplemental drawing within 30 days of receiving your US
diversity visa. Your request must also be made within 180 days of
receiving your notice of winning the Green Card Lottery. Only one

available tickets varies from year-to-year. The maximum value of
the ticket is $1000.
