He filled out some application about a year ago, and yesterday he got an email saying

Your application is confirmed

You are eligible to participate in the coming Green card lottery.

Click here, and register

It is from USAGC, DV Lottery Services

Anyone ever heard of this? Is it some kind of scam?

No ,there is a Diversity lottery every year. Check the USCIS website for details.

But they dont send out eligibilty emails, you just apply. And if you qualify, you may win the DV lottery to come to USA.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

Use only the real DV lottery site. There is never an application fee or processing fee for the REAL DV lottery site, unless of course you win and then u have to pay the visa fees.

If it ask for money, looks fishy (ads on the email), is not from a US government email address it is a scam.

Never pay to enter the DV lottery.

I agree with you. There are a lot of DV lottery scams out there that request that you pay money up front. A lot of unsuspecting people have been scammed this way. Make sure it is the official DV lottery site.

Edited to add: I googled USAGC and it looks like it is a privately owned website and has nothing to do with the gov't. Looks like it is a scam.

Beth, that is a ".com" I am not even sure that is right. At the bottom of the link you gave it says, "not affiliated with the United States Department. I think this one is the correct one. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/ty...types_1322.html Any official site that has to do with the US gov't will have a ".gov" at the end.

The department of State never sends email to people asking them to register for a DV lottery. It's clearly a scam.

Just google USAGC.
