Green Card Lottery Results

Applicants selected in the Green Card Lottery (Diversity
Immigrant Visa Program) will receive a "Notice of Approval" letter, which is
an official
notification that an individual has been selected. The "Notice of Approval"
letter is mailed to the selected applicants between May and July of the
following year. For example, if you submit your application for the 2008 Green
Card Lottery, the "Notice of Approval" letters will be sent to the winners
between May and July of 2009.
The "Notice of Approval" letter is sent directly from the U.S. Department of
State to the selected applicants. Only the
"winners" (selected applicants) are notified. If an individual is not selected,
he or she will not receive any notification. It is important to understand that
there is no way to check if an applicant has been selected. The U.S. Department
of State does not publish the list of winners. The only way an applicant will
know that he or she was selected is when the "Notice of Approval" letter is
received. The "Notice of Approval" is mailed by regular mail (not email) to the
address listed in the application.
Being selected in the Green Card Lottery does not automatically guarantee that
the applicant will receive a Green Card. The number of entries selected is
greater than the number of immigrant visas available, because not everyone
selected will qualify or will choose to complete the process. Once all 50,000
visas have been issued, the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program will close for the
year.
