What is DS-260 form and how to submit it?

The DS-260 form is an online application form that must be completed by all immigrant visa applicants, including those who are selected in the Diversity Visa Program. This form is used to collect biographical and background information from the applicant, as well as information about their intended travel to the United States.

To submit the DS-260 form, follow these steps:

Go to the official Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website at https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx
Log in using your DV case number, DV confirmation number, last name, date of birth etc. as requirement of the log in interface.

It is important to complete and submit the DS-260 form as soon as possible after receiving your selection notice, as it can take several months for your visa application to be processed.

DV Confirmation VS DV Case Number:

DV confirmation and DV case number are two different things related to the Diversity Visa (DV) program, which is also known as the Green Card Lottery.

DV confirmation refers to the message that an applicant receives after submitting their entry form online. This message confirms that the entry has been received and provides a unique confirmation number that the applicant should keep safe as it will be needed to check the status of the application later on.

DV Confirmation Example: 20235MJC8NS7YX8P

DV Case Number Example: 2023AS00010789

In summary, the DV confirmation number is the initial confirmation received after submitting the entry form, while the DV case number is assigned to selected applicants for further processing.

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.

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
