2015 and 2016 Entrant Status Check

It’s time to dig out your DV-2016 confirmation number! You can check your entry status at dvlottery.state.gov starting Tuesday, May 5. Remember, Entrant Status Check is the *only* means by which you will be notified of your selection for further processing in the Diversity Visa lottery. We never notify selectees or collect fees via email. If you’ve misplaced your DV lottery confirmation number, you can use the retrieval tool in Entrant Status Check to recover it. https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/
