The application process for Diversity Visa lottery is over. All the applicants must have followed the instructions given by the Department of State and waiting anxiously to know the status of their application. A majority of applicants must have started dreaming about life in America and settling there for better future prospects. However, it all depends upon the accuracy of their application form and later on their luck.

In order to avoid the rejection, people should have thought about taking services of immigration experts. Some of the reputed United States immigration agencies provide great assistance in green card lottery application. However, while selecting one such agency for assistance during application process, people should have to be very cautious, as it has been a subject of many scams. Even Department of State’s website warns applicant’s to stay away from false websites claiming them to be a government entity and promising a green card. Falling to them is nothing more than wastage of valuable money and time.

There are some agencies that have extreme expertise on issues related to immigration to United States and diversity visa lottery program.
