The Department of State has begun notifying winners of the DV-99 Green Card lottery. So far, we are only aware of Africans that have received notification, but winners from other regions should start to hear soon. Persons who win DV-99 will not be allowed to submit permanent residency applications until October 1st of this year. And they must complete processing by September 30, 1999.
The DV-2000 lottery will take place later this year, but specific dates have not been announced. Readers can find general information on the lottery on our web site at https://www.visalaw.com/lottery_page.html. When rules for DV-2000 are announced, our web site will be immediately updated.
