If you need help submitting your entry into the DV-2018 lottery program, please email and we will forward to you our Questionnaire and DV program instructions (in English or in Russian).
The DV-2018 program registration period will run from noon, EDT on October 4, 2016, through noon, EST November 7, 2016.
Entrants may prepare and submit their own entries or have someone submit the entry for them. Whether the individual submits an entry directly, or an attorney, friend, relative, etc. provides assistance, only one entry may be submitted in the name of each individual, and the entrant remains responsible for ensuring that the information is correct and complete.
All entrants, including those not selected, will be able to check the status of their entry through the Entrant Status Check available at dvlottery.state.gov.
The law allows only one entry by or for each person during each registration period. Entrants who submit more than one entry will be disqualified.
Applicants must submit a recent photo taken within the last six months. Entries that include the same photo from the last DV year (DV-2017) will be disqualified.
