FACTS
After the individuals have been selected at random from among all qualified
entries through the State Department E-DV Lottery computer program, they
will NOT be notified by email. Those selected will be notified only by
letter through the mail between May and July of the DV year at the addresses
listed on their E-DV entry. Only the randomly selected individuals will be
notified. Persons not selected will NOT receive any notification. U.S.
embassies and consulates will NOT be able to provide a list of those
selected to continue the visa process.
Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) will send the letters notifying those
selected. These letters will contain instructions for the visa application
process. The instructions say the selected applicants will pay all diversity
and immigrant visa fees in person only at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate at
the time of the visa application. The Consular Cashier or Consular Officer
immediately gives the visa applicant a U.S. Government receipt for payment.
You should never send money for DV fees through the mail, through Western
Union, or any other delivery service.
The E-DV Lottery entries are made on the Internet, on the official US
Government E-DV website at www.dvlottery.state.gov. KCC sends only letters
to the selected applicants. KCC, consular offices, or the U.S. Government
has never sent e-mails to notify selected individuals, and there are no
plans to use e-mail for this purpose for the DV Lottery program.
The Department of State, Visa Services advises the public that only Internet
sites including the ".gov" indicator are official government websites. Many
other non-governmental websites (e.g., using the suffixes ".com" or ".org"
or ".net") only provide legitimate and useful immigration and visa related
information and services. Regardless of the content of non-governmental
websites, the Department of State does not endorse, recommend or sponsor any
information or material shown at these other websites.
Some websites may try to mislead customers and members of the public into
thinking they are official websites and may contact you by email to lure you
to their offers. These websites may attempt to require you to pay for
services such as forms and information about immigration procedures, which
are otherwise free on the Department of State Visa Services website, or
overseas through the Embassy Consular Section websites. Additionally, these
other websites may require you to pay for services you will not receive,
often including diversity immigration application and visa fees in an effort
to outright steal your money. Once you send money in one of these scams, you
will never see it again. Also, you should be wary of sending any personal
information that might be used for identity fraud/theft to these websites.
