We strongly encourage you to complete the entry form yourself, without a “visa consultant,” “visa agent,” or other person who offers to help.  If someone helps you,
you should be present when your entry is prepared so that you can provide the correct answers to the questions and keep your unique confirmation number and a
printout of your confirmation screen.  It is extremely important that you have the printout of your confirmation page and unique confirmation number.  Unscrupulous
visa facilitators have been known to assist entrants with their entries, keep the confirmation page printout, and then demand more money in exchange for the
confirmation number.  Without this information, you will not be able to access the online system that informs you of your entry status.  Be wary if someone offers to
keep this information for you.  You also should have access to the email account listed in your E-DV entry.  See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information
about DV program scams.  You may also wish to view our video for an introduction to the DV program and step-by-step guide to help you submit an entry.
After you submit a complete entry, you will see a confirmation screen containing your name and a unique confirmation number.  Print this confirmation screen for your records.  Starting May 6, 2023, you will be able to check the status of your entry by returning to dvprogram.state.gov, clicking on Entrant Status Check, and entering your unique confirmation number and personal information.  You must use Entrant Status Check to check if you have been selected for DV-2024 and, if selected, to view instructions on how to proceed with your application.

The U.S. government will not inform you directly.  Entrant Status Check is the sole source for instructions on how to proceed with your application.  If
you are selected and submit a visa application and required documents, you must use Entrant Status Check to check your immigrant visa interview appointment
date.  Please review the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the selection process.

You must provide all of the following information to complete your entry.  Failure to accurately include all the required information will make you ineligible for a DV.
1. Name – last/family name, first name, middle name – exactly as it appears on your passport, if you have a passport (for example, if your passport shows only your
first and last/family name, please list your last/family name and then first name; do not include a middle name unless it is included on your passport.  If your
passport includes a first, middle and last/family name, please list them in the following order:  last/family name, first name, middle name).  If you have only
one name, it must be entered in the last/family name field.
2. Gender – male or female.
3. Birth date – day, month, year.
4. City where you were born.
5. Country where you were born – Use the name of the country currently used for the place where you were born.
6. Country of eligibility for the DV program – Your country of eligibility will normally be the same as your country of birth.  Your country of eligibility is not related to
where you live or your nationality if it is different from your country of birth.  If you were born in a country that is not eligible, please review the Frequently
Asked Questions to see if there is another way you may be eligible.
7. Entrant photograph(s) – Recent photographs (taken within the last six months) of yourself, your spouse, and all your derivative children included on your
entry.  See  Submitting a Digital Photograph for compositional and technical specifications.  You do not need to include a photograph for a spouse or child who is already a U.S. citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident, but you will not be penalized if you do.
DV entry photographs must meet the same standards as U.S. visa photos.  You will be ineligible for a DV if the entry photographs for you and your
family members do not fully meet these specifications or have been manipulated in any way.  Submitting the same photograph that was submitted with a prior
year’s entry will make you ineligible for a DV.  See  Submitting a Digital Photograph (below) for more information.
8. Mailing Address – In Care Of
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
City/Town
District/Country/Province/State
Postal Code/Zip Code Country
9. Country where you live today.
10. Phone number (optional).
11. Email address – An email address to which you have direct access and will continue to have direct access through May of the next year.  If you check the Entrant Status Check in May and learn you have been selected, you will later receive follow-up email communication from the Department of State with details if an immigrant visa interview becomes available.  The Department of State will never send you an email telling you that you have been selected for the DV program.  See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the selection process.
12. Highest level of education you have achieved, as of today: (1) Primary school only, (2) Some high school, no diploma, (3) High school diploma, (4) Vocational
school, (5) Some university courses, (6) University degree, (7) Some graduatelevel courses, (8) Master’s degree, (9) Some doctoral-level courses, or (10)
Doctorate.  See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about educational requirements.
13. Current marital status: (1) unmarried, (2) married and my spouse is NOT a U.S. citizen or U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR), (3) married and my spouse
IS a U.S. citizen or U.S. LPR, (4) divorced, (5) widowed, or (6) legally separated.  Enter the name, date of birth, gender, city/town of birth, and country
of birth of your spouse, and a photograph of your spouse meeting the same technical specifications as your photo.
Failure to list your eligible spouse or, listing someone who is not your spouse, will make you ineligible as the DV principal applicant and your spouse and
children ineligible as DV derivative applicants.  You must list your spouse even if you currently are separated from him/her, unless you are legally separated.
Legal separation is an arrangement when a couple remain married but live apart, following a court order.  If you and your spouse are legally separated,
your spouse will not be able to immigrate with you through the DV program.  You will not be penalized if you choose to enter the name of a spouse from whom
you are legally separated.  If you are not legally separated by a court order, you must include your spouse even if you plan to be divorced before you apply for
the Diversity Visa, or your spouse does not intend to immigrate.
If your spouse is a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident, do not list him/her in your entry.  A spouse who is already a U.S. citizen or LPR will not
require or be issued a visa.  Therefore, if you select “married and my spouse IS a U.S. citizen or U.S. LPR” on your entry, you will not be prompted to include
further information on your spouse.  See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about family members.
14. Number of children – List the name, date of birth, gender, city/town of birth, and country of birth for all living, unmarried children under 21 years of age,
regardless of whether they are living with you or intend to accompany or follow to join you, should you immigrate to the United States.  Submit individual
photographs of each of your children using the same technical specifications asyour own photograph.
Be sure to include:
o all living natural children;
o all living children legally adopted by you; and,
o all living stepchildren who are unmarried and under the age of
21 on the date of your electronic entry, even if you are no longer legally married to the child’s parent, and even if the child does not
currently reside with you and/or will not immigrate with you.
Married children and children who are already aged 21 or older when you submit your entry are not eligible for the DV program.  However, the Child
Status Protection Act protects children from “aging out” in certain circumstances:  if you submit your DV entry before your unmarried child turns
21, and the child turns 21 before visa issuance, it is possible that he or she may be treated as though he or she were under 21 for visa processing
purposes.
A child who is already a U.S. citizen or LPR when you submit your DV entry will not require or be issued a Diversity Visa; you will not be penalized for either
including or omitting such family members from your entry.
Failure to list all children who are eligible or listing someone who is not your child will make you ineligible for a DV, and your spouse and children will also
be ineligible as Diversity Visa derivative applicants.  See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about family members.
See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about completing your Electronic Entry for the DV-2024 Program.

Selection of Entries
Based on the allocations of available visas in each region and country, the Department of State will randomly select individuals by computer from among
qualified entries.  All DV-2024 entrants must go to the Entrant Status Check using the unique confirmation number saved from their DV-2024 online entry registration to
find out whether their entry has been selected in the DV program.  Entrant Status Check will be available on the E-DV website at dvprogram.state.gov from May 6,
2023, through at least September 30, 2024.
If your entry is selected, you will be directed to a confirmation page providing further instructions, including information about fees connected with
immigration to the United States.  Entrant Status Check will be the ONLY means by which the Department of State notifies selectees of their selection for DV-2024.  The Department of State will not mail notification letters or notify selectees by email.  U.S. embassies and consulates will not provide a list of selectees.  Individuals
who have not been selected also ONLY will be notified through Entrant Status Check.  You are strongly encouraged to access Entrant Status Check yourself.  Do not
rely on someone else to check and inform you.
In order to immigrate, DV selectees must be admissible to the United States.  The DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application, electronically, and the consular officer, in person, will ask you questions about your eligibility to immigrate under U.S. law.  These questions include criminal and security-related topics.
All selectees, including family members, must be issued visas by September 30, 2024.  Under no circumstances can the Department of State issue DVs nor can
USCIS approve adjustments after this date, nor can family members obtain DVs to follow-to-join the principal applicant in the United States after this date.
See the Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the selection process.

entry, a photograph that has been manipulated, or a photograph that does not meet the specifications below will make you ineligible for a DV.
