How long do applicants who are selected remain entitled to apply for visas in the DV category?



Persons selected in the DV-2019 lottery are entitled to apply for visa issuance only during fiscal year 2019, from October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2019. Applicants must obtain the DV visa or adjust status by the end of the fiscal year. There is no carry-over of DV benefits into the next year for persons who are selected but who do not obtain visas during FY-2019. Also, spouses and children who derive status from a DV-2019 registration can only obtain visas in the DV category between October 2017 and September 2019. Applicants who apply overseas will receive an appointment letter from the Kentucky Consular Center four to six weeks before the scheduled appointment.

We will let you know via email as soon as we have the winning notification letter from the Kentucky Consular Center and advice you in how to move on.

    What error may I made if I applied for DV in 2016 and then failed to check it due to confirmation number lost and then again applied to 2019 Dv ?
    How I could solve this problem?
    What I shall do. ?
    What types o error I made?

    ANSWER: You could have made many errors that is why you should use the paid Green Card service instead of the free lottery with no support, More info here: https://www.usgreencardoffice.com/green-card-lottery
