DV Website down?

[dilemma87]

Hi all,

I'm a new member of the site though have been reading with interest everyone's posts over the last couple of months. I'm from Australia and I have applied for the first time in the DV 2016 lottery after falling in love with the USA when I went on a holiday for 6 weeks there for the first time last year

I was just having a look around and noticed that the Diversity Visa website seems to not exist anymore?
I hope this is just some maintenance of some sort, I can't find anything on the U.S Department of State website (travel.state.gov) about the reason for it being down, but it just doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Hoping this isn't an issue with 2016 Diversity Visa~

Any ideas from anyone more knowledgeable than myself on here?

Yep - some screwup after maintenance - nothing to worry about.

Thank you Britsimon for your reply.

I've read your blog and it is very informative! You provide a lot of people with help and advice and information as I have observed from my readings before joining the forum and it really is much appreciated!

Fingers crossed I'm a DV2016 selectee, if I am I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more from me!

You should finish the sentence - "nothing to worry about"-maintenance is outsourced to Russia.
