How Do I Find Out If I Won The Diversity Visa Lottery?

If you win, you will be notified by mail at the address listed on your application. Instructions and information on fees will be sent to the winners. If you are selected a winner in the diversity visa lottery it does not automatically guarantee that you will be issued a visa, even if you are qualified. The number of entries selected is greater than the number of immigrant visas available, because not everyone selected will be qualified for the visa or will choose to complete the processing. The diversity visa program for the year will end once all 50,000 visas have been issued.
