> Lawyer Huang Huili’s legal mailbox (8) 1. I recently received an email saying that I had been selected for a US green card and asked me to pay money? How do you know this is true...

Answer: The green card lottery is conducted on the US Department of State website between October and November or December every year. After logging in, you will receive a confirmation number. The State Council will notify the winners of the green card lottery by mail between May and June every year. Starting from May 1, you can check whether you have won the lottery on the State Council's website (you need the confirmation number CONFIRMATION NUMBER to check online). The State Department will not notify you by email. The State Department also specifically stated that the lottery winner does not need to pay any fees up front. The application fee for the immigrant visa is paid directly to the consulate when making an appointment for the interview. In addition, even if you win the lottery, only the winner, spouse, and unmarried minor children under the age of 21 are eligible to apply for a green card. The State Council will not include the whole family (parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.). These people who received the fraudulent emails received green card lottery notifications from XXX@post.com. Of course, there may be other different emails. We advise customers to note that emails from U.S. government departments usually end with .gov. Those sent from the State Department may be XXX@state.gov, and those sent from the Immigration Bureau may be XX@dhs.gov. When you see an email with XXX.com, be careful that it is a scam letter from a fraud group. Don’t be fooled.

2. My American husband and I have been married for nearly ten years and have two minor children. We have worked hard together and purchased two properties, both of which are in our two names. Recently, I found out that my husband was having an affair. I was very angry and agreed to divorce, but my condition was that we have two children, because he was the one who had the affair. Moreover, both properties should belong to me as compensation for me and my children. But my husband requested custody of half of the children, one for each of the two properties. Can I get what I want when I file a lawsuit?
