Calling DV2006 Nigerian winners

Can someone please tell me what kind of visa is stamped on the passport? I have heard that it is a one year visa but others say that it isn't a visa (i.e. nothing is stamped on your passport) but you're given a document to travel with.
I need to know as I intend to go to the US ( so I can meet the 6 months deadline) but come out within a week and then go back to settle after 3 months.
Your help will be much appreciated.
 
Lolade,
To the best of my knowledge. Your passport gets stamped with an entry visa that is valid for 6 months. The Consular Officer also gives you a brown envelope that has to remain sealed. The immigration officer at your Port Of Entry is the one supposed to open it. Then your actual Greencard will be mailed to the address where you'll be living in the States.

I hope this helps.
