ONLINE APPLICATION
The notification letters will have additional instructions, including additional forms and other documents required as well as immigrant visa application fees. You should note that there is NO email notification.
A couple of additional points to note.
1. Be patient with receiving the 2nd letter if you have received the first as sometime the mail is slow. The only people that you can contact that will give you any insightful information if you are a winner and received the first letter is the KCC.
2. If you were a child on a winner's application and since turned 21 after being 20 at the time of application, you are still eligible as your age is frozen. However you must take up the green card within a year as otherwise you will be ineligible
3. High School education or its equivalent as per the requirements of the primary applicant means the successful completion of a twelve year course of elementary/primary and secondary education in the U.S. or successful completion in another county of a formal course of elementary/primary and secondary education that is comparable to the US 12 year education system.
4. If you are currently residing in the US on another non-immigrant visa, you are able to adjust your status within the US if you are a winner
You should note that being selected as a winner does not guarantee you a green card as you must pass some additional criteria as well in the application process. The Interviews for the DV-2010 visa lottery program begin in October 2009 and foreigners who applied overseas will receive an appointment letter from the Kentucky Consular Center about 5 weeks before the scheduled appointment.
