Warning: Diversity Immigrant Visa Fraud

There have been many recent instances of fraudulent websites posing as official U.S. Government sites, and "scam" e-mails posing as Diversity Visa lottery notification and soliciting funds. There have been many recent instances of fraudulent websites posing as official U.S. Government sites, and "scam" e-mails posing as Diversity Visa lottery notification and soliciting funds.

Actual notification of DV lottery success will originate from the Kentucky Consular Center, generally in the form of written notification mailed to the address provided in the application process. Legitimate U.S. government notification of Diversity Visa lottery registration will never solicit payment. Diversity Visa applicants will not be required to pay any fees until the day of the personal interview at the US Embassy.

In a similar fraud scheme, some companies posing as the U.S. Government have sought money in order to "complete" lottery entry forms. There is no charge to download and complete the Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form.

Only the website of the U.S. Embassy in Fiji, and domestic U.S. government sites (which always end with ".gov as the last three letters of the address) should be trusted as authoritative sources of travel and immigration information.

For more information, please contact the Embassy. The U.S. Embassy is closed on both U.S. and Fiji holidays. This is an official source of U.S. Government information on the Web. Inclusion of Non-U.S. Government links or information does not imply endorsement of contents.
