“Diversity Visa 2025 selections are now available! Find out if you were selected by entering your confirmation number at dvprogram.state.gov/ESC/. This is the ONLY way to check if you have been selected. Selection does not guarantee a visa or an interview.”

Our thoughts are with all the DV-2025 entrants checking their results in 12 hours! If when you go to check, the website isn't working, don't be alarmed. That's common on the first day.

“Starting tomorrow, May 4, 2024, check your #DV2025 status by entering your confirmation number at dvprogram.state.gov/ESC/. This is the ONLY way to check if you have been selected to participate. If you receive an e-mail, text, call, or letter notification, these are scams.”

I am receiving messages from DV-2020 Gomez class members about their hardships. That’s now what we need. We need you to email Gomez class counsel and explain those hardships. You cannot expect the class counsel to represent your interest if you hide your story from them. -curtis

FAQ: when can I check DV-2025 lottery results? Answer: Noon EST, May 4, 2024 https://dvprogram.state.gov/

#DV2020 update. The Gomez class counsel has shared the first draft of the motion that they plan to file with the Circuit Court of Appeals with us. The draft is good, but we want it to be as good as it can be. And so I need your help. Right now - the motion includes an exhibit that is a declaration from Gomez class counsel that explains how they have heard class members from Afghanistan, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Israel about how they are in danger because their DV-2020 visas have not been processed. They have not heard from DV-2020 class members in danger in other parts of the world. I found this surprising. if you are a DV-2020 selectee in Gaza or West Bank, Ukraine, Iraq, Iran, or any other conflict zone and you are in danger because your DV-2020 visa has not been processed, please contact [email protected] and tell them your story as soon as possible. Thank you.🙏
