That's correct.
Page 6 states the following:
"ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
[..]
d) Diversity Visa Fee is $305 Processing Fee, $440 Additional Fee and $74 Surcharge Fee. The total of $819 for each applicant."

Thanks guys.
What sort of things have you got ready?
I've got most of my identity documentation together. I have my birth certificate and a few photocopies, my passport(s) are brand new so they don't need to be renewed, and I have some photographs that are quite recent. I haven't made an application and paid for a police/criminal background check, I haven't filled out any DS-230 forms whatsoever, nor have I booked a medical test, as I think that would be slightly premature at this stage.

@Bahamaschick,i am so sorry to hear this?it is awful to hear of things like thisdays cos have experienced such?but don't worry i can assure you that nemesis will catch up with them.God will judge the thieves.
@ololo 12 and @slash_dot,it is good to have you guys back on forum?its seems that some forumites are gradually coming back to the forum after some while?as of the reduction of DV fee from $819 to $440,i personally don't what to say about this? but in my own opinnion if it is true then it maybe that the bill of $30 to be charge per entry for DV program from this year might just be passed/implement/approved or was it because of the significant drop of entries/applicants in the last DV program?or DOS wants to make sure that so many countries to particicpate, but don't think it would be for the third world countries but maybe allow or encourage more selectees to pursue there visa process since the fee would be $440 and not $819 anymore.Well we still don't know the reason for this reduction of DV processing fee.Anyway welcome back guys?

The fee was actually reduced to $440 effective February 2nd.
"the Department reexamined the CoSM’s inputs to the Diversity Visa Lottery Fee. Upon reexamination, it was decided that the present fee adequately accounts for the costs of processing the immigrant visa application and enhanced security. The Department, therefore, has decided it will not charge the separate Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee or Immigrant Visa Security Surcharge to Diversity Visa Lottery selectee- applicants and will amend the Schedule of Fees to so reflect."

That's excellent news, good find Firi!
Can't take credit for that. This was discussed on a different forum, so I'm just sharing the good news. I have my interview coming up in two weeks so I'm super excited about the new reduced fee

Well, the DV visa fee itself has not been reduced and is at the level of $440 it was set at. They just charged an additional immigration visa fee of $305 and a security surcharge of $74. They are now saying that "the present fee adequately accounts for the costs of processing the immigrant visa application and enhanced security" thus they won't be charging the additional immigration visa fee and security surcharge.
@Qewty,well said,cos we DV2013 forumites makes this thread to be active.We are still expecting some forumites that took off for the xmas break and also more and more forumites would still come to this thread expecially concerning the reduction of DV fee from $819 to $440 and May Ist.
