Diversity Visa lottery results for DV-2025 applicants are now available on the State Department’s Entrant Status Check webpage.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The Diversity Visa program provides 55,000 immigrant visas (green cards) per year to individuals from countries with low levels of immigration to the United States. Individuals register during an annual registration period and are selected through a random lottery. Those selected in the DV-2025 program may apply for a visa during fiscal year 2025 — from Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2025.
BAL Analysis: Applicants are reminded that the State Department’s Entrant Status Check webpage is the only official source where results are posted. They must use the official website to find out if they have been selected in the lottery and, if selected, to check for the date of their immigrant visa appointment, as the U.S. government does not directly notify selectees. Selectees are encouraged to apply for visas as early as possible once their program rank numbers become eligible.
