The State Department (DOS) oversees the DV lottery program. Winners of the lottery have a chance to apply for an immigrant visa, which can be used to enter the US. The DV lottery is free. The most recent DV lottery ended December 31, 2003. The DOS will release instructions before the upcoming 2006 DV Lottery. Be alert to websites offering an increased chance of wining the DV lottery - it is simply not true. AILA also reports the recent circulation of false DV emails. The email informs individuals that they have won the DV 2004 visa lottery and instructs individuals to send $349.67 - these emails are also not true and should be disregarded.
