Green Card Lottery 2005

[ginger_anna]

Hi, fellow asylees.
A little off topic, but, they've already announced new procedures for the Diversity Lottery 2005 (the one that's also called a Green Card Lottery). I think everyone here should enter just in case, maybe you'll be a lucky winner
OK, anyways, here it is:

21. MAY PERSONS WHO ARE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR AN IMMIGRANT VISA IN ANOTHER CATEGORY APPLY FOR THE DV PROGRAM?

Yes, such persons may apply for the DV program.

From what I remember from some years ago that lottery is not open to entire world. Citizens of some country will not be granted lottery visas as legal immigration from those countries is high. China, India, Pakistan and a host of other countries were in that list.....Before you apply just make sure that your home country is not part of that list ...
