The initial payment was $396 (which was made without any tax information), and several subsequent payments were made to continue. In reality, everything is free on the official government website. Mr. Henderson starts, and then others come on the phone with promises. It's been going on for a year now, and we've lost $8,800 and see no results or improvements. Shameful.
Absolutely do not pay.

E’ una truffa
E’ una truffa. Dopo il pagamento effettuato di 396 dollari iniziali ( per cui hanno emesso fattura senza dati regolari fiscali) mi hanno chiesto 3000 dollari per continuare. In realtà sul sito ufficiale del governo e’ tutto gratuito.
Non pagate assolutamente.

Truffa
Stessa cosa. Ho cliccato sul link mi hanno fatto pagare 39 euro, senza accesso protetto alla carta e poi mi hanno mandato una mail dove chiedevano un mare di informazioni personali tra cui mia foto e foto del passaporto. Mi sono insospettita e fermata nel processo.

Absolute scam!!!
Absolute scam!!!! AVOID
Having entered my detail on what was American GC website to see if I qualified for the lottery (as I was certain the UK were not allowed to enter) I was called by a lady with an Australian accent who said Congratulations you are eligible and I will pass you onto one of my colleagues Jonathan Miller (it wasn't until I saw someone else on here who had dealings with this cretin that thought it was ever a scam), I was then on the phone for an hour going through my details. I was told at the end of the conversation there would be a "One Time Fee!" which I would receive back in full after the Consular interview of $1000 as applicants that qualify are given the fee back towards the air fare to collect the Green Card in the US. This seemed acceptable so I thought I'd use my credit card as a back up if this was a scam. This was December, then every month since Jonathan Miller has called with his favourite tag line "This is a one time only fee" to continue the process extracting more and more from my card. May came and the results for the Lottery showed we had not been selected this time, however Mr Miller the one time only specialist insisted we had been selected and thank you for bringing up this website statement as this means the dates have not been released yet for your interview but rest assured you have been selected for the visa due to your details and the UK being favourable for entry, again I was dubious of this but he said the dates would be June 10th, so I played along with him again, and to date it still says not been selected and these cretins are still trying to call and email to extract more money from me. AVOID AT ALL COSTS I wouldn't piss in their mouths if their teeth were on fire

BE AWARE THIS IS FRAUD!!!
This company will tell you exactly what you want to hear. HOWEVER DO NOT be fooled!! They are always calling to ask for the 'next payment' so that your application can proceed. I am $11 400 down and I have finally had enough. There is always 'just one more payment'. I even had it in black and white on an email that I was done paying and they still phone asking for more money. PLEASE don't fall for this as it is fraud!!!

BE AWARE!!
BE AWARE!!! THIS IS A FRAUD!!! THEY TOOK ME 10,000 $
BE AWARE, FIRST OF ALL they are the same of GC PROGRAM, they keep changing their "company name" and website, but it s always the same entity.
They might have done some work like entering my data to the dvprogram website, but it did not work at all, i had them on the phone so many times asking for money "to finalize my procedure and bla bla bla" and they were assuring me all time that i was elegible and i would have been in the first 55k selectees.... they asked me the last payment of 1,500$, for a great total of 10,000$, AND GUESS WHAT: WE HAVEN'T BEEN SELECTED!!! the process is not clear at all, u never know how many steps there are! RECORD ALL THE PHONE CALLS , KEEP EVERYTHING VIA EMAIL, SO YOU CAN HAVE EVIDENCES, Mr Kenny, Mr Paul & all of them, they were assuring me all the time at the phone that the payment was to finalize the case to guarantee to be in the first 55k selectees, all the time, thank gosh i have all recorded, and i also have all the emails where after each payment they were saying that there were no more step to be payed, i can attach everything here! for my luck i have all properly saved.
i 'm really upset because they kinda act loyal to you, but in the end they want to take your money for a service that cannot guarantee you to be selected, AGAIN, I PAID 10,000$... don't get fooled by their words, when they say "then you will have your green card and you will choose to move or start looking for a job bla bla..." they speak to you as if you already have the green card in your hands... AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN SELECTED!!! i was asking for some kind of refund but of course now they don't mind at all! To all the other people that were frauded like me, pls report their website and email address to the authorities.

RED Alert / Big Warning of Fraud
Use (dvprogram.state.gov) only !!!
Don't trust this company. They will make you poor in short time and you are not participant of the regular lottery. First call they ask your personally, job, salary and saved money, if you have house. You get fake account number where you can see your status by a fake software. You get 3 eBooks about process and a list which papers necessary. Copy passport, school certificate, CV, photo, motivation letter, police report a.s.o. First invoice 389$ by credit card. Mr. John Henderson and Kenny Richards the Immigration scam specialists called me often for next invoice 2750.-$ than 4500.-$ than 7500.-$ than 7500.-$ for preparation interview by US consulate in my country what never take place, at least 4000.-$ for assistance. 5. May they called me for discuss fake result. I didn't talk more to them. I recommend all people don't give them any information, don't send them any copy and never give them the number of your credit card or send them money. I lost a complete salary of a year for nothing. Don't trust Mr. John Henderson, Kenny Richards, Charles Robinson or Amelia Duncan from legal department. Please inform yourself only by the original website from government.
