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.
Please do not hesitate to contact
us if you have any questions. BridgehouseLaw can assist you in
