Did you apply for the Diversity Visa Lottery for the 2023 fiscal year and wondering about your chances? This article will explain how DV Lottery winners are selected, how to check Green Card Lottery results, and when to check them.

DV Lottery 2023 results date

The DV Lottery results for the fiscal year 2023 will be available from May 8th, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

If you applied up to November 9, 2021, you might wonder when the Green Card lottery results for 2022 will come out. You are actually applying for the fiscal year 2023, which starts on October 1, 2022. In this case, if you came here looking for Green Card Lottery results in the date 2022, the answer is the same for you: May 8th, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

DV Lottery 2023 results check

The US Department of State does not notify DV Lottery entrants whether they won the lottery or not. Therefore, you must check it yourself on the official DV Lottery website: https://dvprogram.state.gov

Click ‘Check status’, continue, and fill out the request form: put in your confirmation number, surname, and year of birth.

If an entrant is not chosen to be one of the lottery winners, the site will show that the entrant "HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED". If this is your case, it is actually recommended that you do not rush to discard your confirmation number right away and store it until the next application period comes up. This advice is especially relevant as technical problems have happened on this site in the past, as is the case in 2014, in which several entrants saw their results changed after the first announcement.

If you’re one of the lucky ones, you will see "you have been randomly selected for further processing in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program" on the site. Congratulations! Now, save your case number and carry on applying for your visa.

How DV Lottery winners are selected

Green Card winners 2022 (or, as we explained above, 2023), as is in other years, are chosen by random computer selection.

Can't check DV Lottery 2023 results?

If you find that the official DV Lottery website doesn’t work, don’t worry! Especially on the first days of the announcement, the website receives a lot of visits from entrants who want to know whether they won the Diversity Visa Lottery.

You can come back in a few days and check again. When you check the result does not affect whether you get selected or not, so there is no need to hurry. Just make sure you don’t forget the time range for the announcement (May 8th, 2022 一 September 30, 2023).

Using the Entrant Status Check system to check whether the application you submitted for the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery (“DV Lottery”) has been chosen.

You've submitted your application for the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery ("DV Lottery") and are now waiting patiently to learn whether or not you are one of the 50,000 foreign citizens to have the chance to apply for U.S. permanent residence (a "green card"). This article discusses how the lucky winners are chosen and notified. To learn more about which foreign citizens are eligible and how to apply, you can read Winning a Green Card Through the Visa Lottery.

You Can Check Your Status Beginning in Early May of the Year After You Apply

The DV Lottery has been fully automated, such that would-be immigrants from eligible countries may register only online. After the drawing is held, the U.S. government will not mail you a letter, nor email you any notice, alerting you either that you "won" or that your entry was not accepted. The only way to find out whether you were lucky is to use the electronic Entrant Status Check at www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC.

Entries to the DV Lottery are accepted each autumn (usually for about a month from October to November, but check the DV Lottery website to make sure).

Starting in early May of the year after you apply, you will be able to use Entrant Status Check to learn whether or not you were randomly chosen from the entrants from your country for the opportunity to apply for an immigrant visa.

Do not delay in checking your status, because if you are a lottery winner you might need to act fast in order to get all the necessary information together for submitting your green card application. Also see How to Read the Diversity Visa Lottery Cutoff Numbers on the DOS Visa Bulletin for details on how soon you can apply.

All winners must apply for and be issued their DV visas before the following October (by September 30). Also, every year there are more "winning entries" than there are actual visas, so you must act fast to benefit from the lottery.

How to Use the Entrant Status Check

Hold onto the confirmation number that you were given when you submitted your lottery entry, because you will need it to use the Entrant Status Check. If you lost it, you can retrieve it in the Entrant Status Check website if you know the email address you used to register for the lottery and certain personal information that will confirm your identity. Don't ask the State Department to give you your confirmation number any other way—they won't be able to.

Enter your confirmation number (a 16-digit number beginning with the year of the DV Lottery that you applied for, such as 2022 or 2023), your last name, and year of birth. Authenticate by typing the characters shown in the box.

People who are selected in the lottery will receive the good news and information on how to apply for an immigrant visa (if living abroad) or how to adjust your status (if currently in the U.S. and eligible to adjust). You will need to prove that you meet the work or educational requirements and are otherwise admissible to the United States. You might want to seek the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney with applying for your immigrant visa or green card.

Don't Fall Prey to Visa Lottery Scams

Entrant Status Check is the only way to find out whether you are selected for the DV Lottery. The U.S. government does not send you any notifications.

Many unscrupulous individuals have promised DV applicants that they can get moved to the front of the line, get more entries, or obtain similar preferential treatment if they pay a fee. Other fraudsters have sent emails posing as the U.S. government, supposedly notifying recipients that they have won the DV lottery and advising them how to pay a fee for an immigrant visa.

These are all scams used to get your personal information and profit off your hopes for a chance to live and work in the United States.
