Is USCIS involved with DV

From USCIS webpage:
Diversity Lottery

Overview

Each year, the Diversity Lottery (DV) Program makes 55,000 immigrant visas available through a lottery to people who come from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Of such visas, 5,000 are allocated for use under NACARA beginning with DV '99. The State Department (DOS) holds the lottery every year, and randomly selects approximately 110,000 applicants from all qualified entries. The DOS selects the approximately 110,000 applications since many will not complete the visa process. However once 55,000 are issued or the fiscal year ends, the DV program is closed. If you receive a visa through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program you will be authorized to live and work permanently in the United States. You will also be allowed to bring your spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21 to the United States.
Entering the Diversity Visa Lottery

You cannot enter the Diversity Visa Lottery through the USCIS website or by filing any application with USCIS. The program is managed by the U.S. Department of State.

The 2009 Lottery online entry begins at Noon Eastern Daylight Time, on October 3, 2007, and ends at Noon Eastern Standard Time on December 2, 2007. Further information will be posted here when the U.S. Department of State makes it available.

if you are doing adjustment of status - yes. If you are doing consular processing - no (USCIS will issue you your plastic GC upon arrival - that's their involvement).
 
Thanks Tazmania and LucyMo very much. You are always helpful to every members in this forum. This really please us.

My case is under additional administrative processing since october,2007. The embassy can not say anything about it. If USCIS processes such cases then I would contact USCIS about this. Can you tell me where shall I contact to expadite my case? also can you tell me what is "sunset provision".
