What is diversity
visa case number?
At the very first, we must understand
what is the DV case number. The Diversity Visa case number is a unique number
that is assigned to each applicant who is selected in the Diversity Visa
Program, also known as the Green Card Lottery. The case number is used by the
U.S. Department of State to track and process the application of the selected
applicant.
The Diversity Visa case number
consists of 14 characters, beginning with the current fiscal year, followed by
a region code, a country code, and a unique numerical identifier. For example,
a Diversity Visa case number might look like this: 2023AF00001234.
The first four characters (2023)
represent the fiscal year in which the Diversity Visa lottery was held, the
next two characters (AF) represent the region where the applicant was born (in
this example, Africa), and the next three characters (000) represent the
specific country of the applicant's birth. The final five digits (01234) are a
unique identifier assigned to the individual application.
The Diversity Visa case number is
important for applicants to know because it is used to track the progress of
their application, and to check their status online at the Entrant Status Check
website. It is also used to schedule the applicant's interview at the U.S.
embassy or consulate in their home country.
