@george.butler237: The U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced today that, all individuals registering for the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery (or “green card lottery”) must pay a $1 electronic registration fee. This is the first time that participants will be charged simply to enter the annual lottery. The change is intended to distribute the costs of managing the DV lottery more evenly across all registrants, instead of placing the burden only on the small number of applicants who are selected to apply for a visa. #greencardlottery2026 #immigration #ImmigrationNews #immigrationlawyer #DiversityVisa #GreenCardLottery #VisaApplication #USImmigration #RegistrationFee
