Green Card Lottery Applications are Down as State Department Online
System Fails.
The Green Card Lottery has attracted less than half the usual number
of applications this fiscal year falling from 13 million entries in 2002 to
5 million entries in 2003. This decline is due to the fact that applications
could be filed only electronically (some people did not have access to a computer
or digital photoscanner and lacked the knowledge to do it themselves). In
the final days of the Lottery, State Department locked out applicants because
their servers were overloaded. An estimated 900,000 applications were not
accepted for this reason.
To avoid this problem with the next Green Card Lottery in October 2004, it
is anticipated that the Department of State will need to implement new and
more user-friendly procedural changes including upgrading their servers to
be able to handle the traffic.
