RE: US green card lottery / Hong-Kong.

  Since many questions are been asked in my e-mail about the status of Hong-
Kong-born people in the AA1 program (green card lottery), here is how it 
works: 
- The fact that Great-Britain is on the list does not qualify people born in 
  Hong-Kong. 
- If you were born in Hong-Kong and hold a British passport, this does not 
  qualify you, because the place of birth is what counts here, not the country 
  of citizenship or residence. 
- If you were born in Hong-Kong and your father is, or was a British citizen, 
  you qualify for entering your name in the lottery.

Why this rule? I don't know. Why the father and not the mother? I don't know. 
These are the rules and I don't make them; I hope some of you can use them. 

Good luck to all
