EVERYONE, THE STATE DEPARTMENT ALREADY HAS ITS WINNERS, online results are the only means for further processing. IF YOU LOOSE YOUR CONFIRMATION PAGE, consider you are already out the competition. They have now stopped sending notification letters like before in the DV 2012 WE ALL ENTERED. Read on:::
DV Program 2012: From May 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, all entrants may check the status of their entries through the Entry Status Check on the E-DV website. Entry Status Check will be the ONLY means by which DV lottery winners/selectees will be notified of their selection for DV-2012. Additionally, Entry Status Check will provide you, the successful selectee, instructions on how to proceed with your application and notify you of the date and time of your immigrant visa appointment. The Kentucky Consular Center will no longer mail notification letters to DV selectees. Those selected in the random drawing are NOT notified of their selection by email. The above procedures are explained in the DV Lottery 2012 Instructions. The "Selection of Applicants" section of the DV instructions provides information about the DV time frame and process.
For Successful DV Entrants: If you have been selected for further processing in the Diversity Visa program, after you receive instructions, you will need to demonstrate you are eligible for a diversity immigrant visa by successfully completing the next steps. When requested to do so by the Kentucky Consular Center, you will need to complete the immigrant visa application, submit required documents and forms, pay required fees, complete a medical examination, and be interviewed by a consular officer at the U.S. embassy or consulate to demonstrate you qualify for a diversity visa. Please note that the Kentucky Consular Center will provide application information either by mail (for DV-2011 selectees) or online through the Entry Status Check on the E-DV website(for DV-2012 selectees).
