Dear frens,
One of my relative from Nepal got DV2008, and are coming to stay with me in California until they get settled, starting from next week.They are 4 members, couple with two children and I am not sure if they will be able to get the job immediately. I did lots of googling but still not sure if I know all of the procedures, so I am trying to seek help from you guys. Specially those guys who have won DV, can you please tell me what I can do to make the procedure hassel free ?
What are the things I need to do to make sure they get settled in time ?
So, how to get medical insurance for them ?
I am sure they'll have to struggle at the begining so, is it possible to include them into food stamp, that might help them ?
Are there any other benifits like unemployent etc. they can get from federal side if they don't get job on time?
Thanks so much !
Sampada

Chor i am not a lawyer, sampada inquired about food stamp and i checked the california web site for food stamp. It says one can apply food stamp after living five years in USA but this doesn't apply for kids. It says kids are eligible for food stamps regardless for the date of entry. Even the web site given at USCIS has referred to food stamp as government assistance. It's not me just saying what ever i want but its written over there. I just don't think it will be bad idea for the beginners like this family, but i don't think it is good idea to live in the food stamp forever. Once a person is stable and has good income one won't be eligible for food stamps. I was just talking for temporary. When there are lots of non residence who used WIC plan and emergency medicaid while having baby, what's wrong with people with permanent residence using this type of government assistance for a while until and unless things gets settled. My point is as long as one follow rules and regulations set up by USA government why should it be difficult while applying for citizenship. http://www.dss.cahwnet.gov/foodstamps/PG841.htm#citizen Citizenship/Immigration Status Certain non-citizens such as
those admitted for humanitarian reasons and those admitted for
permanent residence are eligible for food stamps. Eligible household
members can get food stamp benefits even if other members of the
household are not eligible. Food stamp eligibility is available to most
legal immigrants who: - Have lived in the country for five (5) years, or
- Are receiving disability-related assistance or benefits, regardless of entry date, or
- Are children under 18 years of age regardless of entry date.
Non-citizens
who are in the U.S. temporarily, such as students, are not eligible. A
number of States have their own programs to provide benefits to
immigrants who do not meet the regular Food Stamp Program eligibility
requirements. California's program is the California Food Assistance
Program.

ya even i heard that you will have problems if you file for food stamps or unemployment. but i donm't know. looks like this thread is baseless. like sampada says, they know english, they have green cards now, and they are well set even back home, and even they've been here before. so what 's the issue? i wish sampada had given these back grounds earlier in her posting so people could suggest accordingly. i think , lots of people thought they are like most dv winners who don't know english and most of the time merely been to kathmandu.
well good luck to them..
