I am trying to help a friend to apply for the green card lottery but am confused about the dates. When do I apply for next year's lottery selection and where? What date this year (2017)? Also, when is the deadline they close? Confused...tried to find info on this..also, what is all the talk about DV-2018 Dv-2019.
Thanks!
 
The lottery entry window doesn't open until October. It's open for around a month. You apply at www.dvlottery.state.gov

The year (2017, 2018, 2019) refers to the fiscal year in which the visas are issued. So, for DV2018, applicants entered last October. They find out in May 2017 whether they were selected to proceed to the next stage. Interviews will be undertaken, and visas issued, in the 2018 fiscal year (so 1 October through to 30 September).

If you want to apply for fiscal year 2019, you would enter in October of this year.
