Green Card Lottery 2010 Results (DV-2010)

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 🙂

  9. Hi Kyei,
    Obviously doing anything late can delay or mean things go further behind in the queue. However I would check your case number online to see how things are progressing and go to the http://dvlottery.state.gov website for all main contact details.

  13. Hi, I confirmed from the KCC that my forms have been received on 10 February, 2010 and are waiting to be processed. It seems that the KCC has received my forms very late. My case number is 2010AF00060+++. My concern is that, will the KCC schedule me for an interview once my case number category is current even though my forms were received late.

  14. Hi

    Based on my request, I have got an email from KCC, they confirmed my interview date and the date they have sent me my interview letter visa post. So I am have that my interview has been schedualed.

    However, from now (Feb 16) up to the day of my interview, i have less than 10 days, but my intervidw letter has not reached to my address yet. In fact my country has really poor postal service that sometimes it takes up to 2 months that a package arrive in the post. So could you please advise me, what should i do. if i do not get my letter before my interview. Should i contact KCC or the related embassy?

    Thanks

  15. hi Tom,
    infact, could a winner in this period contact KCC when his case number falls in the visa bulletin published in the month for assurance on the date scheduled him before he receives the second letter through the post? I’m a Ghanaian.
    pls kindly help me in this regard.
    Happy easter

  16. Hi,
    I need help so much. I am a winner of 2010 lottery. My interview was scheduled on th 7th of Jan, but I haven`t received the second package from KCC at all. And when I called them in Feb because I had read the visa bulletin, they told me that I have missed my interview. I do not know what to do. Please help me. I am desperate. I would have known by now the result. Do I still have any chances?

  17. Hi Ahzia,
    The best thing to do is to contact your US embassy and see what their directive is or even the KCC as you suggested.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

  18. Hi Lord,
    You can always try and contact the KCC but sometimes they may not respond to all types of questions but if the date is published as such then you can be pretty much assured it is correct.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

  19. Hi Maria,
    The only thing you can do is try and contact the KCC or your US embassy and see what advice they can give you with the delayed mail package as there is nothing any outside party can do to help this unfortunately.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

  20. Hi Kyei,
    I think you will be fine if you just keep following the process as you have been and if need be keep in contact with the KCC if there is a big issue.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

  21. hi cj
    i am moe from myanmar .my case number is 2010AS00019***.could u please suggest that 2nd letter will come for me?
    thanks

  22. Hi Moe,
    I am not exactly sure when your 2nd letter will come but hopefully soon based on all the advice you read here. Keep checking the website.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

  23. Dear Moe,

    When your case is current in the visa bulliten, the best way is to contact KCC and request for information. They will reply you, if you can well explain your problems.

    Good LUCK

  24. hi
    l want to know if its true that the second letter will be issued according to the case numer. l had my first letter in june and sent it back the same month but my winning number is AF00079====

  25. hi kyei, you are fine.
    the package doesn’t give a timeframe for returning the forms.
    i called the uscis and they told me that there is no specific time frame, just send it back in time for them to process the greencard.

  26. Hi,
    It’s trice 3 now i’ve contacted the kcc about my case. Eventhough they have given me correct responses but the always ask me; is it canidat or relative?
    have u any idea?
    Also is contacting the kcc has any infect on once interview?
    c) When one number (Africa/Ghana or Ivory Coast) becomes current in April for an example, when will he/she sit for an interview.

  27. ralph – asking if it is a relative etc is normal. i was always asked that and i don’t believe contacting the kcc has any effect because i did it several times – i even communicated with them extensively about changing my interview location. there is no way of telling when your exact interview date is. once one’s number becomes current, one receives a package from the kcc containing the interview date. you can also call the kcc as soon as you’re aware of your number being current and they will give you the date so that you can prepare for it. that’s what i did when my number became current – i called them right away, they gave me the date and i started getting ready – a few days later, my package with the official date came in the mail.

  28. Hi Yaa,
    Yes the second letter will be issued according to that process. Follow this instructions issued by the KCC and contact them directly if you have any issue.
    CJ

  29. Hi Ralph,
    If they are asking whether you are a candidate or relative, they would probably be referring to whether you are the winner yourself or just the dependent of the winner (i.e. spouse or child). Contacting KCC has no effect on your interview and only the KCC knows the times of Interviews so you will have to ask them.
    CJ

  30. Thanks very much for your wonderful answers i believe this will help many of us before we miss our interview dates due to poor posting system in other locations. I am greatful for that. God bless you.

    One more things pls; Is it possible changing a sponsor after sending his/her name and address to KCC when notice that they are not showing concern in your process or they don’t have the finacial capability to host you in the US? If it’s possible, to whom could this be address, KCC or to the US Emb during interview? Thanks once again.

  31. Plz wish I a get a rapid answer from you. I wedded my wife customarily in my country a year before applaying for the dvlottery 2010. In my initial dv entry I stated that i was married. I got my result as winner of dv 2010. Now I am waiting for my 2nd package only to find out that my country of resident don’t accept customary weddings certificat, like my country do. Now,
    1. Is it possible to remarry to suits my present country marriage regulations?
    2. Will it not pose problem for me after telling KCC that I got married in 2007 then showing marriage certificats of 2010, calling it ARRANGE MARRIAGE?
    or is there any posibility presenting the two certificats @ the interview?

    plz give me a way out , WHAT CAN I DO TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE.

    Thanks once again.

  32. firstly i would like to tnx!
    i’m an Ethiopian, my case no. is 2010AF00019xxx, but still i didn’t receive the second letter what shall i do? need help!!!!!!!!!!

  33. hello! i am ethiopian and my case number is2010af00028xxx and i want to ask that do i have the possiblity of receiving the second letter? if so when?

  34. Hello,
    My winning number is 2010AF00042xxx. It ooks like my number will be current in may. I opted for the adjustment of status because I have been living here in the US for the past 6 years. I sent packages and pay dv fee(375) to the Missouri office and got the receipt. The last correspondnce that I received fromm KCC indicated that because I opted for AOS USCIS will be handling my case.
    My question is the following: If my number becomes current can I go ahead and send in the I-485? Or am I supposed to receive a certain document from Uscis before I can do it?
    Thank you!

  35. POLICE REPORT FROM RUSSIA
    has anyone has any experience getting a police report from russia?
    if you have any advice on how to get one, please let me know as soon as possible. thank you

  36. Hi Ralph,
    Thanks for your kind words. The Green Card Lottery winners do not require a US sponsor to get the green card. That is only relevant for other forms of sponsorship like family sponsoring.
    As for your marriage issue that is a difficult one and I am not sure how to advise you there because it may look suspicious to a US consular official. It may be best to consult an Immigration specialist for that as it may produce the best outcome for you and your wife.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

  37. Hi Nigus,
    You can try and contact the KCC but other than that there is little you can do but wait.
    CJ

  38. Hi EE,
    Generally police reports from most countries in Eastern Europe are handled by the Federal police equivalent of that country but it may help to have a local contact there if you are not present there to help the process along.
    CJ

  39. Hi LeTigreNoire,
    You should be able to send the AOS I-485 in at that point but probably best to call USCIS to see if there is anything else they will need you to submit with that form.
    Good Luck,
    CJ

  40. hi everyone,
    I’m from Ghana and my case number is 2010af00060***. pls when will i get my second letter and interview. thanx

  41. Hi Kyei,
    The best thing is to contact KCC and be patient as it is not a quick process.
    CJ

  42. hi to all
    please i ‘ve read all the comment but no real answers to all questions with my respect to all people who waist their time and try to answer the only one that i got is call kcc ou uscis for answers so please i would like some people who lived the process to take time and explain to all of us how it works
    i would love one person who applied out of the state and on other one who were here illegaly and did the process ( adjustement of status)
    how many mail did you receive from kcc first time ?? notice of wining then the pachage ??????????or what please inform us
    thanks

  43. Hi Joe,
    If you win the Green Card Lottery and you are currently illegal in the US, you are still technically eligible to get a Green Card via the lottery. Illegal immigrants who marry US citizens can get their green card while still in the US so it would probably be a similar situation but is probably best to consult a specialist so you do it right.
    Otherwise you will have to wait here in case others come back and share their experiences.

  44. Hello she is Ethiopian and her sister is in USA
    Her sister won the lottery visa less the 2 years ago,
    My question is how can she bring the other sister to USA

  45. Hi Ray,
    Is she wants to bring her sister permanently to the US, she can only sponsor her if she is a US citizen and not just a green card holder. Then the wait list for sibling sponsorship can be like 10 years as it is the lowest priority of all the family sponsorships. If she wants to bring her to the US temporarily she can help organize a B1/B2 tourist visa but that would only be for a short period.
    CJ
