And the final VB of DV2016 has now been released. All regions and all countries are current. This is happy news for everyone – and very exciting to see a year where every number has gone current. We have seen some toughern years where high case numbers missed out, meaning literally thousands of people who were selected waited patiently only to finally realize their waiting was for nothing. I’m glad that did not happen this year, and I am certain DV2017 will be a good year also…

I hope my website helped some people this year, I will continue to help as much as I can. Some of you may not know that I got my Green Card through this program so this website is a way for me to pass on that good fortune, and hopefully help some people to avoid making silly mistakes that would cost them the Green Card!

Congratulations to all DV2016 winners – and the next visa bulletin will be the first notification for DV2017!
