Hopefully you are one of the green card lottery (diversity visa lottery) winners!
You should note that being selected as a winner does not guarantee you a green card as you must pass some additional criteria as well in the application process. The actual DV-2010 visas will be issued between the period of October 1, 2009, and September 30, 2010. Applicants must obtain the diversity visa or adjust status by the end of the fiscal year.
Unfortunately those who missed out on the green card and permanent residency will NOT receive any notification but for the first time ever will be able to check the status of their entry through the E-DV website.
You must have kept the confirmation page information from when you entered the DV Lottery between October and December 2008. The Status information for DV-2010 lotter is available online from July 1, 2009, until June 30, 2010.
Between May and July 2009 results should be sent out to the lucky applicants with an official letter from the U.S. Department of State Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky. All notifications are by mail to your nominated address and you should note that there is NOT any email notification. The notification letters will have additional instructions, including information about additional forms and other documentation required as well as immigrant visa application fees.
The Interviews for the DV-2010 visa lottery program begin in October 2009 and foreigners who applied overseas will receive an appointment letter from the Kentucky Consular Center about 5 weeks before the scheduled appointment.
The Green Card Lottery (DV-2011) will begin in October 2009 for those wanting to enter this year with more information about this lottery due by September.
Good Luck 🙂

Hi CJ
I am a DV 2011 winner with a low case number 5**.
I received the first NL in june 23 and sent the forms back to kcc in june 24. My number is current for october. Do you think I sent the forms too late not to get interview appointment in october?
Thanks.
I hope you can help. I was one of the lucky winners of the 2010 DV lottery and have an interview scheduled in CASABLANCA,MOROCCO in SEPTEMBER 8 th,2010.
Is it possible to change this interview date? If so, how do I go about it?
Hi CJ,
Do you know if applying for the Green Card Lottery would affect a future application for an E3 Visa? I understand that one of the conditions of the E3 Visa is that you need to prove that you do not intend to stay permanently in the US.
Thank you
I applied for a 2012 greencard lottery and the background color for my picture was light blue. Will I be disqualified or may I submit another application?
I’m the winner of DV 2011 with case no of less than 10,000 from Ethiopia & the case cut off no for November is l 11,000 so can u inform me when will be my date of interview ( the date that i probably receive the second letter).
N.B. I sent the second form on 19 June 2010 to KCC just a month later from the notification date of the letter.

Hi all, I won the DV lottery 2011 and attended the interview in october 2010 with my husband who is the beneficiary. The officer asked me how long we have been married and if we had kids. We had been married one month before entering the lottery and we have no kids. But we submitted an album. They kept our marriage certificate and all my documents including our passports. They gave us a yellow paper on which they ticked below “Administrative Processing”. The paper states that I can call them or email them if I don’t here from them after three months.
Please someone tell me if this is good or bad news. Marion.

Hi Rabin,
Hopefully you got your 2nd letter. Don’t believe everything you read or hear as it relates to the Green Card lottery.

Hi Ralph,
The important thing is to try and stay patient as all processes with US Immigration tend to be long and drawn out unfortunately.

Hi Deepa,
There is no gender bias as it relates to green cards or the green card lottery.

Hi Terence,
The best thing you can do with change of address is contact the KCC.

Hi One Day,
It depends where they specify your interview to be and you will have to talk to them if you want too try and change location but chances are it will be in Ghana.

one year ago i received an answer about my green cart lottery telling me that i have win but because they was asking me money in exchange i didn’t consider it but i want to know if i had really win
Hi Mahana,
It is almost certain that it is fraudulent as the visa winners start to get announced in April/May and you only get notifications by regular mail NOT email. Also after May 1, 2012 at the US State Department DV Lottery site you will be able to check yourself with your reference number.
