Beware Of DV Lottery Scams
Please be aware that fraudulent websites and emails exist regarding the Diversity Visa (DV) Visa Lottery. The State Department (DOS) oversees the DV lottery program. Winners of the lottery have a chance to apply for an immigrant visa, which can be used to enter the US. The DV lottery is free. The most recent DV lottery ended December 31, 2003. The DOS will release instructions before the upcoming 2006 DV Lottery. Be alert to websites offering an increased chance of wining the DV lottery - it is simply not true. AILA also reports the recent circulation of false DV emails. The email informs individuals that they have won the DV 2004 visa lottery and instructs individuals to send $349.67 - these emails are also not true and should be disregarded. For more information on DV lottery scams, see here.

Dear Editor:
From January 1996 I came to be a resident in the US. I went to the appointment to change my status in 1998 and I did not have any problems. The interviewer told me that after six months my card would come. From then on I have waited. I have been sending several communications but the only response I received was in 1999 when the IRS asked for pictures which I sent immediately but my card never arrived.

Dear Editor:
I appreciated your piece about Common E-filing Mistakes.
One caveat is that the submitter should make sure all of the information is correct before hitting the "certify" forms link as after that time you can not make any changes. If you want to make changes after clicking that "certify" link you would need to start all over.

Dear Editor:
I am a sponsor for an American male recently arriving in the US. His father is American. His father, I'm told, was not a soldier, but a relief worker possibly in the area. Trying to find him is like finding a needle in a haystack. The name he has given me will not come up on the internet common areas for searching for folks. Any suggestions to possible sites or public records to find him? It may be possible that the name is misspelled? Searching for people on the Internet is new to me. Ameriasian has been granted permanent resident but would like to apply for citizenship.
