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.

Email Samples of KCC to DV Winners: from the DS-260 Processing to 2NL (Interview Appointment)

Millions of people from all over the world participate in the DV lottery program every year. But, out of those millions, only a few lucky ones get selected in the DV lottery program. Annually, 55,000 immigrants from eligible countries can enter the United States legally through the DV lottery. But unfortunately, many DV winners become disqualified for various reasons. Thus, we can say that being selected in the DV lottery program is not everything, but it is definitely the beginning of a beautiful opportunity to live an American life. As we have said before, being selected in the DV lottery is not everything. After being selected for the DV program, the DV winner has to proceed with the process very carefully in order to reach the interview to get the visa.

DV2021 Case Processing update of Nepal (Up to 5 September 2021)

The fiscal year of the DV 2021 visa issuance process is coming to an end on September 30. In this context, there are clear indications that not even 60% of the DV 2021 visas will be issued through the regular process, which is a matter of concern for the winners of DV 2021. As you may know, the US government court has not been able to give a promising verdict in favor of any of the DV 2021 lawsuit proceedings. In this sense, there is a question mark over the possibility of getting a visa for those who spend a lot of money to participate in the lawsuits. In the year 2021, 3801 Nepalis were selected for the DV lottery program, which is the second-highest number of DV winning country in Asia. According to the DV Lottery Charts' data published on 1st September, 31% of the winners have so far received visas, with 531 receiving visas and 522 being interviewed. The details are briefly presented in the table below. Total DV Winners 3801
