United States: DV-2016: Applications Currently Accepted

The Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery  program continues—at least for one more year.  The DV-2016  application period began on Wednesday, October 1, 2014, at noon and will end at noon on November 3, 2014.  From year-to-year, there is always speculation as to whether the DV Lottery will continue.  So, if you're eligible and are inclined to give your luck a try, there's no time like the present.
Congress created the DV Lottery program to provide an extra opportunity for those from countries with low rates of immigration to the US to seek U.S. permanent residence.  For DV-2016, 50,000 visas will again be available.  Applicants from no single country may in total receive more than 7% (i.e., no more than 3,500 per country for DV-2016) of the visas in any fiscal year.
