Has the Green Card Lottery Website Been Shut Down by the Iranian Government?

Has the Green Card Lottery website been shut down by the Iranian government? - November 25, 2003. The Persian section of Voice of America invites dear friends to visit the 'Green Card Lottery' page and for further guidance to refer to the 'Information' page on our website. Our website address remains voanews.com/Persian. If the site is blocked for you, please email us at [email protected]. Unfortunately, regarding legal details, administrative matters, and how to fill out the form, we are unable to resolve specific issues in this area. In such cases, it may be better to contact an immigration lawyer or the U.S. Department of State, which is responsible for this matter. There is still time to gather more information until December 30, which is the deadline for registration for the 2005 Green Card. Additionally, we remind you that this registration is free, so websites that ask for money to do this are not related to the U.S. government and should be approached with caution, even if their website addresses are chosen to resemble official government sites. Another unfortunate point is that the Islamic Republic or entities within the Iranian government have shut down internet sites, including the Green Card lottery site, without official and legal announcement. In such cases, a proxy should be used to bypass the filter, or an email should be sent to us. We are working on improving the quality of proxies that have been shut down in recent days.
