Every year the State Department used to publish the diversity visa lottery instructions around the month of September. DV 2012 instructions are already published in the English language in the internet you can find it in PDF format or as html version. There are translations of these instructions available in the other major languages too in the official web site. The English one will be regarded as the official version for the dv 2012 program. The instructions used to contain the following information. Eligibility requirements, eligible countries, photo requirements, time to apply and FAQ along with many other important things related to the program for the fiscal year 2012. Before applying for program you must read and understand the instructions and specially read about the Affidavit of Support in the FAQ section. Many people think that this program is a free to apply and once they are selected as winners they can fly to the USA. This is wrong those winners must face the immigrant visa interview to proof their eligibility and on that day that they must provide affidavit of support in the I-134 for form and if you don't have this sponsor you may not see the USA. So it is important for you to have a fried or relative in the USA to get the visa at the dv interview. Many US Embassy web sites around the world offer dv instructions in their local languages in PDF file format to provide information to the local people. If you are looking for the current visa lottery instructions in your mother tongue, check your country US Embassy web site to see if they are providing the required translation work in PDF format. It is free to download from their web site. For Example Sri Lanka people can get Sinhala and Tamil translations in the Sri Lanka U.S Embassy web site. Like wise Bangladesh people can find Bangla translation in their country US Embassy web site. Many US Consular offices offer free printout of the instructions if you can visit their offices personally. Also they offer free seminars on the diversity visa program in local languages. General public can put their questions regarding the program to the consular officers at the venues. Please read the local new papers for to find out about these seminars. We strongly recommend you that if you are interested in applying for the USA visa lottery program, then you must read and understand the whole instructions carefully. Many people didn't read the instructions and once they become as a winner they failed at the interview and was refused of their visas and lost their visa fees of US $819 which is a big amount for many of the third world country people.
