The US government does not use .org. The US government only uses .gov. The US government warns against scam emails using non .gov addresses.

So, this is fake. It came from a .org.

This is not a difference if opinions with you. I and everyone else is telling you it is a scam. It is bad advice to tell the OP to look into something that is an obvious scam in light of the US government's warning about non .gov emails.

It's a fake. Don't advise people on visajourney to consider fake immigration scams. This is kansas toto, not "guyana". kapiche?
