Mark your calendars! The U.S. Department of State has set the date for this year’s Green Card Lottery. The DV-2010 Diversity Visa Lottery will begin at noon EST on October 2, 2008, and end at noon EST on December 1, 2008.

The Diversity Visa Program, better known as the green card lottery, provides individuals from countries with low immigration to the U.S., an opportunity to live and work permanently in the United States.

The State Department hasn’t yet released the updated instructions and information, but as soon as it does, you’ll find the information here.
