   Hi Anna,
   If you go to our Green Card Lottery post (http://e3visa.info/2009/02/22/the-diversity-visa-dv-or-green-card-lottery/) you can read more information and then of course at the official site you can see the photo specifications (http://dvlottery.state.gov/photo.aspx).
   Good Luck,
   CJ

   Hi Abhiskek,

   The Green Card Lottery will have no affect on your Permanent Residency application via your employer so you can certainly apply for the lottery.

   Good Luck,
   CJ

   Dear CJ,

   Greetings from Libya.

   I am F from Libya, I’ve applied for the DV-2011 lottery and received a case number. I understand that The program is administered directly from the U.S. Department of State Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky.

   I know that many selectees were notified by letters from kcc before announcing their notification on the website.

   I am so worried about missing my potential notification letter due to postal problems in my country and not being able to provide an accurate postal code, instead I provided the address of an International Express Mail Agency in my Town whereby I can go and pick up the mail. Anyhow, I’ve got another mailing address with an accurate postal code, I know that I can’t submit multiple entries, I also don’t know whether to contact kcc and inform them of my postal code or just leave it to them and in case of my winning they will send the mail to the FedEx Office in my Town !.

   Your respond is highly appreciated,

   F

   Hi, I have a burning enquiry.

   I applied for the 2011 lottery with my schools immigration clinic, but I am 100% sure that the picture they submitted for me will get me disqualified. It was stretched and way too dark. Is there any way I can resubmit an application by cancelling the current one?

   Hi F,
   You are right you can’t sumbit multiple entries and the KCC wont alter any applications. So I would just keep you current setup and they will mail to whatever address you put on the application.

   Hi Lerone,
   Once an application is submitted there is nothing that can be done to change it unfortunately. Hopefully the picture will be fine.
   Good Luck,
   CJ

    Hi,
    I filled the application form but made a mistake on the year of birth for my husband, typed a 5 instead of 3, I know I can’t fill multiple forms. How can that be corrected, can a notification be sent? Thanks.

    Just keep on praying to win first. Then at the embassy minor corrects are being made.

    Hi Fadel,
    You should have put a mail address where you are confident you would receive mail from the US in a timely manner. So if that is with a friend or family member in another country rather than in Libya I would have suggested that.

    Hi Olu-Jor,
    Unfortunately you can’t make any changes. Hopefully this wont cause any issue and if you are selected as a winner this can be corrected at your US Consulate interview.

    Hi Kaka,
    In general people are not penalized from being from a smaller country to a larger country as they spread out the 50,000 green cards across the world and not just to a few countries proportionately. However exactly how they do it is interesting as to whether Egypt and Libya are two different regions or do they group them together as Northern Africa is unknown.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

    hi *F* and Fadel
    I’m also from Libya and I have registered in the lottery DV-2011
    I ask you to communicate via e-mail address abdupop@yahoo.com .
    I am also worried about the postal code. But I think that this year will be notified of the participants in the lottery by e-mail also.
    Note that the first time I register in the lottery
    Good luck, dear

    Hi Adbu,
    You will NOT be notified via email for the Green Card Lottery, only by mail. You can check your status online at the website with your number after May when results are released but official notification only comes via the mail.
    Good Luck,
    CJ
