US “GREEN CARD” LOTTERY CLOSES.

MR (Immediate): Dec 03, 2007

The Embassy of the United States of America wishes to thank all those who have submitted entries for the DV Lottery and announces that the registration for the 2009 Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery or “green card” has ended.

The Lottery ended at 5:00 AM this morning, Monday December 3rd (Fiji Time).

Members of the public are also cautioned to refrain from dealing with companies or 3rd parties offering paid assistance to enter the DV Lottery as the lottery is no longer receiving applications.
The annual DV program is administered by the Department of State and provides a maximum of up to 55,000 Diversity Visas each year to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements.
