Green Card Lottery Winners for 2024 Are Out

The U.S. Department of State has announced the winners of the 2024 Diversity Visa lottery.

Out of the millions who entered last year’s lottery, 55,000 applicants have been selected to apply for permanent resident status.

The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program provides foreign nationals from countries that typically do not send many immigrants to the United States a chance to obtain green cards. The program is often used by applicants who otherwise would not have a path to legal immigration in the United States.

If you entered the 2024 lottery, you can now visit the “DV Entrant Status Check” portal on the State Department website to check whether you’ve been selected.

Green Card Approval

Being selected in the lottery does not guarantee an applicant will be approved for a green card. This simply means they are eligible to apply for a diversity visa.

If selected, applicants must complete the green card application process to prove they are admissible to the United States. The process itself includes filing Form DS-260 (the online immigrant visa application), attending a visa interview at a US Embassy or consulate, and paying any required government filing fees.

Green card lottery winners are encouraged to start the application process as soon as possible, as all of the diversity visas available this fiscal year must be issued no later than September 30, 2024.
