Beware 100% scam
Beware 100% scam. They were also known as usagco.com. Look at the other reviews. 5 star reviews are just hilarious and don't make sense at all.

Scam company
After reading the reply from USAGCO I reiterate - Scam company, restating what the other disappointed customers wrote.
The company casts a very simple net to catch clients. They advertise it as a green card lottery without going into big details (for that you need to read the small print to read it is aonly assistance), they are not a US government company but their name implies it (and it is not stated upfront that they are not a US company, you have to read the tiny small print), they are immigration layers helping in the application but it is not stated (only - I guess you figure that - in the small print) - what more of a label scam can it be?
With regards to the methods - they request 39 USD for opening an account (that is fair as they do provide services, and that very fast), then they insist on IMMEDIATE 3.000 USD payment (maybe justified for lawyer purposes) but the insistence on "pay now" is more than fishy. Esp. when you call for a "hold" then it was the last time you heard from them. Well, that is what telephone scam is about.
So, in summary, maybe indeed immigration lawyer but they have betrayed the most vital reason to be for a law company: credibility and trust. I certain will never recommend a company like USAGCO that behaves like fly and bye carpet traders.
If it is a serious company you mention such fees upfront on your internet page and not in the small print. Shame on you

100% Fraud
100% Fraud. The same company as usagco.com.
They are telling you they apply for visa by special consular proces but to do this they need fee 3000 USD/person.
After month you will get another phone that you passed to next stage but you need to pay another fee 3000 USD/person. After next month the same situation. I asked them if it is not DV lottery program and they assured many times that it is different process but finally I get from them information they applied for DV lottery program for me.
Thet took over 21000 USD from me and do nothing from invoices they've send me.
I was talking with Grace Moore and Paul Allen.
Don't believe them in any word.
