DV Lottery 2016 (Green Card Lottery) entry period will be open October 1 to November 3, 2014. Entries can be submitted ONLY during this month. The entry period will close on November 3, 2014.
For DV-2016, natives of the following countries are NOT eligible to apply, because more than 50,000
natives of these countries immigrated to the United States in the previous five years:
Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador,
El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea,
United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam.
Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan are eligible.
There are no changes in eligibility this year.
Completing your Electronic Entry for the DV-2016 Program.
Submit your Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form (E-DV Entry Form or DS-5501), online at
www.dvlottery.state.gov. Incomplete entries will not be accepted.
There is no cost to register for the DV Program.
When can I submit my entry?
The DV-2016 entry period will run from 12:00 pm (noon), Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT-4), Wednesday,
October 1, 2014, until 12:00 pm (noon), Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-5), Monday, November 3, 2014.
Each year, millions of people submit entries. Holding the entry period on these dates ensures that selectees
are notified in a timely manner and gives both the visa applicants and our embassies and consulates time to
prepare and complete cases for visa issuance. You are strongly encouraged to enter early during the registration period.
Excessive demand at the end of the registration period may slow the system down. No entries will be accepted after noon EST on Monday, November 3, 2014
