Just a reminder that the deadline to enter the 2016 Diversity Lottery (DV-2016) is fast-approaching and ends at 12:00 pm EDT (GMT -4) on Monday, November 3, 2014.

The State Department has indicated that it anticipates an increased number of applicants as the deadline nears, possibly resulting in difficulty accessing their online entry form.  So if you have decided to enter, it's best not to wait until the last minute.

Details regarding the DV-2016 application process can be found on the Department of State website.  Please also check out my prior DV-2016 blog post and view my interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette    on the topic.
