As a companion publication to their popular annual guide, Win the Green Card Lottery! this in-depth study rates green card lottery service websites currently used by millions of prospective immigrants to enter the diversity visa lottery.

What is the Diversity Visa Lottery? The annual United States Department of State (DOS) diversity visa immigration lottery accounts for nearly 7 percent of all legal immigration into the U.S. With over 12 million applicants from visa eligible countries vying for only 50,000 available green cards, it is potentially the most popular immigration program in the world. Based on a random computer drawing, winners and their immediate families are eligible to receive permanent U.S. residency—provided they follow the ever-changing State Department rules. For DV-2005, mail-in applications will no longer be accepted, continuing a major shift toward digital technologies by the DOS. Eliminating paper applications will present difficulties for entrants from developing countries and those with limited access to computer technologies such as digital cameras and scanners, but may provide opportunities for ethical lottery services.
DV-2005 Visa Lottery Services Website Reviews. This report examines 59 diversity visa websites for price, service and information content—and makes all raw data available in spreadsheet format. It includes site statistics by site type including average fee, service rating, and information content rating; lists lottery services sorted by each rating criteria and by fee (one person for one year, and two persons for one year); includes bar graphs and scatter plots to visualize numeric data; lists positive and negative comments about each site where applicable; and lists both recommended and potentially fraudulent services. By identifying red flags" used to help distinguish scam" sites, the study successfully identified those websites before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) shut them down in October 2003 for misleading consumers.
This study is especially timely since the green card lottery open registration period now runs from November 1st to December 31st. We publish the summary data, including recommended sites, in our booklet and on our website, so lottery entrants also receive the benefits of this study," said author J. Stephen Wilson.
