The US annual lottery is opening today and applicants have until noon time (Eastern daylight time) on November 3, 2010 to fill out and submit their application(s). There are 50,000 available, and if you think that your chances are slim, there is hope. I have met many people who now have green cards because they won the visa lottery – so take a chance.
A few notes of caution before you jump ahead. Be sure to fill out the form completely and leave no questions blank. If a question does not apply to you, mark not applicable or N/A in the space provided. Also, the Department of State has warned that there are many sites pretending to be the government site, but they are not associated with the US government.
There are no filing fees to file the US visa application. You can locate and read the form instructions at U.S. Department of State website OR direct filing at http://www.dvlottery.state.go
