American flag

Have you ever desired to become a Permanent Resident of the United States? Now’s your chance to try your luck! The entry period for the 2017 Diversity Visa Lottery is open from October 1, 2015 – November 3, 2015. It’s important that entrants carefully review the eligibility requirements and follow the U.S. Department of State’s procedures for entering the lottery.

Important Note about Diversity Visa Lottery Scams: There is no fee associated with electronically entering the DV Lottery, and applicants should be careful to avoid scams related to entering the lottery or checking their lottery status. Please carefully read the fraud warning relating to the Diversity Visa Lottery. DV entrants should only refer to the instructions on the Diversity Visa Program webpage for official information about the DV process.

While the International Office does not offer specific guidance or advising relating to DV Lottery applications, the U.S. Department of State provides many resources online. If necessary, consider consulting a private immigration attorney for additional assistance.
