Diversity Visa lottery results for fiscal year 2024 will be available on May 6 on the State Department’s Entrant Status Check webpage.
Key Points:
Background: The Diversity Visa program provides 55,000 immigrant visas (green cards) per year to individuals from countries with low levels of immigration to the United States. Individuals register during an annual registration period and are selected through a random lottery. The registration period for fiscal year 2024 Diversity Visas opened Oct. 5, 2022, and closed Nov. 8, 2022.
BAL Analysis: Applicants are reminded that the State Department’s Entrant Status Check webpage is the only official source where results are posted. They must use the official website to find out if they have been selected in the lottery and, if selected, to check for the date of their immigrant visa appointment, as the U.S. government does not directly notify selectees.
