U.S. IMMIGRATION UPDATE THE ANNUAL DV GREEN CARD LOTTERY HAS STARTED OCTOBER 1, 2015
October 6, 2015
The DV-2017 Immigrant Visa Program, commonly known as the “Green Card Lottery“, has started on Wednesday, October 1, 2015 at 12:00 noon (EDT), and concludes on Monday, November 3, 2015 at 12:00 noon (EDT). Under this program, and as in previous years, a certain number (generally 50,000) of green cards are made available to eligible individuals from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States who meet the minimum educational requirements.
Entries for the DV-2017 Lottery MUST be submitted electronically during the above-referenced processing period.
Caveat: The U.S. Department of State, Office of Visa Services, advised of a notable increase in fraudulent emails and letters sent to Diversity Visa (DV) program applicants. The scammers behind these fraudulent emails and letters are posing as the U.S. government in an attempt to extract payment from DV applicants.Please note that fees for the DV application process are paid to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate cashier at the time of the scheduled interview appointment. The U.S. government does not ask applicants to send payment in advance by check, money order, or wire transfer.
