For our own FOB DV holders with children might get lot of benefits from America.There are lot of benefit out there which our innocent fresh DV holders don't know.
When only one person is working in a family with 4 or more members, their children can get free medical insurance for children, and also food stamp. they can get low income housing where the rent is less. 

One Nepali family with 3 children got a 4 bedroom apartment in a very posh area for $1700. (actual rent for 1 bedroom at that area is about $2000 and up)

A father works on check in restaurant.  A mother works on cash (earns about $3000 a month).
So with only father's income seen in check, they got the benefit of all the low income family like free insurance to children and other lots of benefits.

They rented the 2 bedroom for $ 600 each to other people.

Their actual pay for 4 bed apt is ($1700 - $1200) $500+utilities

The mothers money is entirely saved approx $36,000 a year as they have no other expenses. You can imagine how much they save in the past 6 years only. Before that also they had some savings. They have full cash on hand to pay for a decent house up front.
