Important notice for all of our Diversity Visa (DV) 2017 entrants!
Additional entrants have been added to “selected” status on the Entrant Status Check website at dvlottery.state.gov. Please use your unique confirmation number to verify your status.
Successful entrants are encouraged to complete the online DS-260 application immediately, so that an interview appointment at the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate can be scheduled. Embassies and consulates only have a limited number of appointments each month for DV applicants, so it is vital that DV selectees start the visa process immediately.
Remember, we will never, ever (EVER!) send DV selectees a notification letter or notify you of selection by email. Any email you receive from the Department of State will only direct you to the Entrant Status Check at dvlottery.state.gov.
DV-2017 ends on September 30, 2017. If all of the 50,000 DV visas have been issued before that date, the program will end earlier. Entrants with “selected” status should act now since the visa process can be lengthy. DV-2017 visas cannot be issued after September 30, 2017. Participants are reminded to check the status of their DV entry through Entrant Status Check at www.dvlottery.state.gov using the confirmation numbers they received when they initially submitted their applications.

DV-2017 Entrants (those who entered the DV lottery between October 1, 2015 and November 3, 2015) have until September 30, 2017 to check the status of their entry through this website. The DV-2017 registration period was from October 1, 2015, until November 3, 2015.
