Only one entry per person will be accepted, and individuals with more than one entry will be disqualified. Late entries will not be accepted. Selections will be made in May 2024 and will be announced by the Department of State at dvprogram.state.gov/ESC.
2. Check your DV application status. In early May, entrants may check their DV application status and see if they were selected using the Entry Status Check at dvprogram.state.gov/ESC. Entrants must have their confirmation number to access information through Entry Status Check. This is the ONLY website where Diversity Visa entrants are notified of their selection, provided instructions on how to proceed with their application, and notified of their immigrant visa interview appointment date and time. Please be aware, the U.S. Department of State is unable to provide results to DV entrants or provide your confirmation number.
Starting May 6, 2023, you will be able to check the status of your entry by returning to dvprogram.state.gov, clicking on Entrant Status Check, and entering your unique confirmation number and personal information. You must use Entrant Status Check to check if you have been selected for DV-2024 and, if selected, to view instructions on how to proceed with your application.
You may check the status of your entry through the Entrant Status Check on the E-DV website at dvprogram.state.gov using your unique confirmation number and personal information. It is the only way to check whether your entry was selected. If your entry is selected, you will be directed to a confirmation page that will provide further instructions, including information on fees connected with immigration to the United States. If you are selected, we encourage you to complete the DS-260 visa applications soon. The Embassy will be processing DV-2023 cases until September 30, 2023.
After applicants submit a complete entry, they will see a confirmation screen containing their name and a unique confirmation number. Applicants should print this confirmation screen for their records. They will need this confirmation page and unique confirmation number to access the online system that will inform them of the status of their entry. Applicants will be selected at random by computer from among all qualified entries. Beginning May 4, 2024, applicants will be able to check the status of their entry by returning to www.dvprogram.state.gov, clicking on Entrant Status Check, and entering their unique confirmation number and personal information. Applicants must use Entrant Status Check to check if they have been selected for the DV-2025 lottery and, if selected, to check their immigrant visa interview appointment date. The U.S. government will not inform applicants directly, nor will any notification letters be sent out to registrants.
