Are you selected for Diversity Visa (DV) program? Now what you need to do for further process?

Congratulations on being selected for the Diversity Visa (DV) Program! However, being selected does not guarantee eligibility for a US visa, and it is not advisable to purchase an air ticket and attempt to enter the US directly. Instead, there is a lengthy process that must be completed, including submitting the DS-260 form, passing a medical examination, meeting documentary requirements, and attending an interview. Only after completing these steps will the consular officer make a decision on whether to grant you a visa. In this article, we will go over the entire process and steps that all DV winners must follow after being selected in the DV program.

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.

After your selection on Diversity Visa (DV) program:

After being selected in the Diversity Visa program, there are several important steps that you need to complete in order to obtain your visa and enter the US. These steps include:

Collecting the necessary documents and information, and submitting the DS-260 form.
Waiting for your 2NL (Second Notification Letter), which will inform you of your visa interview date and time.
Scheduling and attending a medical check-up at IOM Hospital,
Preparing and collecting all the required documents, such as police certificates, educational documents, COVID-19 vaccination documents, and required documents from your sponsor or petitioner.
Attending your visa interview at the US embassy or consulate in your home country.

The Case numbers in the READY mode of Nepali DV 2020 winners (12 September 2021)

In the process of DV winners, the winners of 2020 cannot be forgotten. Because Judge Mehta's final decision to proceed with the 9095 reserved visa process is eagerly awaited by the rest of the DV 2020 winners. In this context, there is confusion as to who will benefit from the 9095 reserve visa. Many DV 2020 winners had received second letters (2NLs), some did not, but many were documentarily qualified for the process and some did not even receive a document received notification from KCC. But the confusion is compounded by Judge Mehta's statement that a visa can be issued randomly because the reserve cases are under a class action of Gomez Vs. Trump litigation. According to the DV Lottery Charts , 3548 case numbers for DV 2020 are in READY mode from all over the world, with 7181 applicants (with derivatives). In the case of Nepal, 191 DV 2020 cases are in READT mode, with 331 applicants (with derivatives). The DV 2020 process, which was suspended in March due to Presid...
