How will Diversity Visa Lottery / USA Green Card Lottery winners be selected?
All entries received from each region will be individually numbered by computer. After the end of the registration period, a computer will randomly select entries from among all the entries received for each geographic region. Within each region, the first entry randomly selected will be the first case registered, the second entry selected the second registration, etc. All entries received during the registration period will have an equal chance of being selected within each region. When an entry has been selected, the applicant will be notified through Entry Status Check, available beginning May 1, 2011 on the Diversity Visa website. The Kentucky Consular Center will continue to process the case until those selected to be visa applicants are instructed to appear for visa interviews at a U.S. consular office or until those qualifying to change status in the United States apply at a domestic USCIS office.
