I agree with avii, no one should blame anyone. People should understand, winning DV lottery doesn't mean you'll have a good job, good life, all it means is you can come to US, live here and work. Whether or not people find jobs, have good lives depends on individual person. Its true that there is more opportunity here in US otherwise ppl wouldn't come here. Every time I go to Nepal, I hear so many BS about life here and mainly its due to the people like us living here paint a different picture about our life. We tend to sugarcoat our lives. Hide the reality, mainly cause we don't want our loved ones back home to worry about us, or may be ashamed of what we do here. First thing to do would be to educate people in Nepal what can they expect when they come here. I recall one interesting moment, I was visiting Nepal in 2004, I was at my friends place just hanging out. People started coming in and there was this discussion about what happens in USA, or life in USA. There was this leader type guy who was preaching on and on about things supposedly happen here (Later I found out he hasn't even been to India let alone USA). What he was saying was totally wrong. I tried to correct him, testo hunna baru yesto hunchha, then he got defensive and asked me, tapain kahaan basnu hunchha, I said Minnesota ko yo sahar ma, then he just shrugged me off saying, tyo pakkai pani america ko gaun hunu parchha jahaan tyo hunna, tapainlai kehi thaha nai rahenachha, bekkar ma almalayera. I was just shocked and said nothing. I came here as a student, graduated and my graduation year I won the lottery too. I got my degree and GC at the same month. I have traveled to many parts of US for the last 7 yrs that I have been here and seen a lot of ppl. Been to OC and stuffs too. Like someone said earlier, the only decent life that you can have here is if you have a degree here and get a decent job, or have some principle amount so that you can start your own business. Ppl who cannot speak in english properly will have hard time here. Sorry for this long and boring paragraph... but the solution I see is to educate your loved ones back home about the real situation here and then let them decide whether they wanna come here or not. Please do not lie about what you do or how hard ur life is. We all know its hard back home too.
