A final example of fraud involving the DV lottery.
Winners have to process their applications through the U.S. Embassy in their home country (unless the DV winners are re-routed to another embassy or if the U.S. does not have diplomatic relations with the winning country, they are re-routed to another embassy that is close to the country).
Certain "services" will offer to process the application through the embassy (for a fee of course). These services are invariably bogus - remember, all DV processing goes through the United States Department of State (through the U.S. embassy in the person's country). The ONLY fees are through the Department of State and other fees will NOT be assessed.
Note, by the way, that this is not the same thing as legitimate Immigration attorneys offering their services to DV winners. Even with the State Department handling DV winners, sometimes the results can be confusing. Legitmate Immigration attorneys (licensed in the U.S.) will offer their services and can be of help. This is NOT the same thing as fraudsters offering bogus services that are not needed.
