The United States Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs has announced that the results of the Diversity Visa (DV) 2024 lottery will be released in just three weeks. The wait is almost over for those who have applied for the DV lottery, as they will be able to view the results online from May 6.
The DV lottery is a program that offers visas to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the US. The program selects 55,000 people each year, and applicants are chosen at random. The lottery offers a unique opportunity for individuals from underrepresented countries to obtain a green card and eventually become a US citizen.
Those who submitted their entries from October 5 to November 8, 2022, can check their status on May 6 to see if they have been selected for the DV lottery. If selected, they will be eligible to receive US visas from next October. Those who have a confirmation number can easily check their status by entering their confirmation number, surname, and year of birth.

Applicants who are not selected for the DV lottery will see the result on the screen stating that they have not been selected. However, if an applicant is selected, they will see a letter outlining the next steps in the process. The next steps can include submitting additional documentation, attending an interview, and completing medical examinations.
The DV lottery is a popular way for people from countries with low immigration rates to the United States to have a chance at obtaining a green card. Applicants are encouraged to check their results on May 6 and start planning their next steps if they are selected for the DV lottery.
The DV lottery is highly competitive, and not all applicants will be selected. Nonetheless, the program offers a pathway to the US for many people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to immigrate. Applicants should keep in mind that the process for obtaining a visa can be lengthy and may require patience and perseverance.
