surcharge. Successful entrants must

complete the immigrant visa application

process and meet all eligibility

requirements under U.S. law to be

issued a visa.

Being selected as a winner in the DV

Lottery does not automatically

guarantee being issued a visa even if the

applicant is qualified, because the

number of entries selected and

registered is greater than the number of

immigrant visas available. Those

selected will, therefore, need to

complete and file their immigrant visa

applications quickly. Once all 55,000

visas have been issued or on September

30, 1999, whichever is sooner, the DV

Program for Fiscal Year 1999 will end.

Obtaining Instructions on Entering the

DV Lottery

The above information on entering the

DV–99 program is also available 24

hours a day to persons within the

United States by calling the Department

of State’s Visa Lottery Information

Center at 1–900–884–8840 at a flat rate

of $5.10 per call. Callers will first hear

some basic information about the DV

Lottery and will be requested to provide

their name and address so that printed

instructions can be mailed to them.

Applicants overseas may continue to

contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or

Consulate for instructions on the DV

Lottery.
