"In order not to become a victim of fraudsters, I urge you to use only official sources of information. Remember – the lottery is free. You can register for the program yourself, and you don't need to pay money for it," said U.S. Consul General in Ukraine William J. Bistransky in a special video address dedicated to the start of the lottery.
The diplomat also called on all interested parties to watch a special video that the U.S. Embassy prepared to explain how to participate in the Green Card lottery.
