U.S. Visa Lottery
As many of you know, each year the U.S. government has a visa lottery, allowing individuals from certain countries to apply for a green card via a lottery.

This year the lottery entry has to be done on-line. Please read the instructions carefully since having more than one entry or having the wrong picture format will disqualify your entry all together.

The lottery is FREE–you do not need to pay anyone to enter this lottery. Please be aware of spam emails telling you that if you pay a fee to someone your chances will improve. That is a lie!

Good luck to all of you! Here are the pages you need to visit:

•  Visa Lottery Main Page
•  Lottery Instructions
•  Photo Validator
•  Lottery Application (Standard)
  (this application form does not include any kind of encryption)
•  Lottery Application (SSL) (this application form includes encryption, making it more secure, but slower.)

Graduating in December? - OPT Applications
If you are graduating in December, please contact OISS to talk about your future plans. As you know, once you complete your classes you have 60 days to leave the country, unless you have applied for Optional Practical Training (OPT) or have requested a new I-20, either for a program extension or a new program.

Will Your I-20 Expire on December 18?
Some of you have an I-20 form that will expire on December 18th. If you have one these I-20s, please contact OISS as soon as possible to discuss your future plans, especially if you would like to continue at LSU.

Last day to withdraw with "W" Nov. 14th
The last day to withdraw from a class with a "W" is November 14th. After that, you will either have to take the final exam or get a bad grade! However, remember that you can only withdraw from a class if doing so will not put you under the 12 unit requirement (8 for graduate students). To withdraw from a class, you will need a withdrawal form (available at the Records Office), the signature of your professor, and OISS authorization.
