All about the Green Card DV-2025 lottery results check.

The Green Card Lottery DV-2025 provides a unique opportunity for people worldwide to obtain the right to permanent residence in the United States. However, the process of checking results and subsequent document processing can raise many questions and difficulties. In this article, we will examine the key aspects of this process and answer the most common questions.
When to Check the Results of the Green Card Lottery DV-2025?
The results of the lottery will be available for checking from May 4, 2025, until September 30, 2025. It is important to note that checking the results before this date is pointless, as the system will still display data from the previous DV-2024 draw. It is recommended to use only the official website dvprogram.state.gov to check the results.

Are Errors in the Results Possible?
While technical errors in the system are rare, overloads and failures may occur in the first days after the results are released. For this reason, it is recommended to recheck the results some time after the first viewing. There is a common belief that new winners may appear in August, but this information is not confirmed by official sources and requires additional notification.
If you have lost your Confirmation Number, it can be recovered. Step-by-step instructions can be found on YouTube or other resources.
What to Do if the Confirmation Number is Incorrect?
If you receive a message about an incorrect Confirmation Number during the check, it may be due to technical issues in the early days. Try changing the browser and carefully check the entered characters, as confusion between the number 0 and the letter O or other similar characters can lead to an error.

Do You Need to Send Documents to the Service Center?
There is no need to send paper versions of documents or other correspondence to the service center in Kentucky. Any received documents will be destroyed. All interaction with the center occurs in electronic format.
How to Correct Errors in the DS-260 Form?
Errors in the DS-260 form can affect the outcome of the case. If the error concerns personal information, such as name, surname, or date of birth, it is necessary to correct it in the form and be prepared to explain the situation at the interview. Critical errors include those in family status and listing family members. If you made a typo in the city name, it is less significant, and corrections can be made in the DS-260 form.
What to Do if the Family Composition Has Changed?
If the family composition has changed after submitting the application, it may affect the visa process. For example, if you got married after submitting the application, it will not be a problem. However, if you indicated the wrong family status, your application may be disqualified. Changes in family status after winning require entering the correct information in the DS-260 form and explaining it at the interview.

What to Do if Family Members Have Changed Plans?
If any family member included in the application decides not to travel, it will not be a problem if the lottery winner still intends to immigrate. The principal applicant must attend the interview and obtain a visa, after which other family members can also immigrate. If the winner declines, the entire application will be canceled.
In What Language is the Interview Conducted? Can You Bring an Interpreter?
The interview at the embassy is usually conducted in the native language of the country where it takes place. If the interview is scheduled in a third country, an interpreter may be needed. In such a case, it is necessary to coordinate their presence with the embassy.
Can the Date or Place of the Interview Be Changed?
It is possible to reschedule the interview to another embassy or date, but it requires coordination with the respective embassy. Despite this, it is recommended to attend the interview at the appointed time, as changing the date may cause a delay in visa issuance.
Are the Interview Results Announced Immediately? Is There an Administrative Processing?
Interview results are usually announced immediately, and visas become available within a week or two. However, sometimes administrative processing is required, which can take from a few days to several months.
It is important to obtain the visa by September 30 of the following year, as it will be impossible to get a visa after this date.
Is a COVID-19 Vaccination Required?
A COVID-19 vaccination is still required to participate in the Green Card Lottery. Vaccinations can be done earlier and do not need to be updated before the interview.

What to Do if Family Members Are in Different Countries?
If family members are in different countries at the time of the interview, they can attend separately, but this complicates the process and may take more time. Family reunification after obtaining visas takes a significant amount of time, so it is recommended to attend the interview together if possible.
What to Do if There is Another Immigration Process?
If you have another immigration process (e.g., employment-based or family-based) alongside winning the lottery, it is recommended to discuss the strategy with an attorney to choose the fastest and most reliable path to obtaining a green card.
How Long is the Visa Valid After Winning?
After the interview, the visa is issued for the duration of the medical examination, usually for 6 months. During this time, you must enter the U.S. to avoid having to undergo the examination again. After entry, the visa remains valid for another year.
What to Do if a Child Turns 21?
If the child was 20 years old at the time of application and turns 21 at the time of the interview or entry, it will not be an obstacle to obtaining a visa. However, children who have turned 21 should not marry, as they will lose their eligibility for the visa.
This article covers the main questions related to checking the results of the Green Card Lottery DV-2025 and subsequent visa processing. Adhering to all rules and recommendations increases the chances of successfully obtaining a green card and moving to the U.S.
