DV Lottery Cheats and Scams

Don't submit your entry more than once as a Primary Applicant for the DV Lottery in any given year. Because the authorities can find out those multiple entries with the help of the latest electronic techniques and if multiple entries are found in the system, all your entries will be removed from that fiscal year draw.

If a person submit more than one E-DV entry with fake names for the green card lottery, their entries will be found out by the authorities with the sophisticated equipments. These programs also find out the photos of the same person and all the entries of that person will be disqualified.

There are some Web sites poses as official site for accepting DV Lottery which is also called as Green card lottery will ask you money to enter the Green card lottery. But truly this is a free to apply diversity visa lottery at the US Government's official web site. Please note that good USA Government website URL's ends with .gov in the end.

Also there is another kind of cheating. More and more people are sending emails to unsuspecting people saying that they were selected as winners of the DV lottery and are eligible to obtain American Visas. They ask these unsuspecting victims to send 400$ to 600$ to start with the process. They used to make their emails to look as it coming from US Government with logos and signs. A closer look will give you, that there is no mention of your name in that email. Also the email sender will ask you to contact another email or Telephone number which are not in the USA.

First of all the US government never sends email notification for the DV lottery, (green card lottery) winners. They send only Postal Mail notification to the Winners along with further notification and the necessary forms to fill and send back to KCC, to the selected winners. There will be no money involved while you are contacting the KCC. You will pay money only on the day of your interview as for the visa interview at your country US Embassy.
Never send money by post, Bank draft or westerunion to obtain USA Immigrant visas.
