We recommend that you read and understand the following frequently asked questions
before obtaining a Green Card or applying
for the Green Card Lottery:
Yes. In fact, your chances are better if you apply for a green card individually.
If either you or your spouse wins the lottery, you will both receive green cards.
No. Only legally married couples can file a joint application. However,
you may register your unmarried partner by obtaining an additional green card application form.
You must list all minor, unmarried children under the age of 21 regardless if they wish to immigrate.
You should not list married children or children over the age of 21. If your spouse has children under
the age of 21 from a previous marriage, you must list them as well.
Signatures are not required on the Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form. Recent and individual photos of the applicant,
his/her spouse and all children under 21 years of age required. Family or group photos are not accepted.

The next DV lottery is DV-2012. The reason for this

The next deadline for filing your Green Card Lottery application through the Green Card Lottery Association is November 30, 2010.
