The results of the DV-2026 lottery will be announced on May 3, 2025. Applicants will be able to check their results starting from the specified date.
HOW TO CHECK THE RESULTS?
Applicants for the 2026 Green Card lottery can check their results on the official DV Lottery website of the U.S. Department of State. By entering their confirmation number, last name, and year of birth, they can find out whether they have won.
Winners should carefully review the instructions displayed on the screen and complete the required procedures on time to proceed to the next steps.
WHAT SHOULD GREEN CARD WINNERS DO?
Winners of the Green Card lottery must complete a series of official procedures. Selected candidates will enter the immigration visa process and must follow the designated steps.
COMPLETING THE DS-260 FORM
The first step for winners is to complete the DS-260 immigrant visa application form online through the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) of the U.S. Department of State.
This form requires personal details, educational and employment history, family information, and plans for living in the U.S. Providing incorrect or incomplete information may result in the rejection of the application.
PREPARING THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Applicants must prepare the following documents for the Green Card process:
Birth certificate
Valid passport
Police clearance certificate
Documents proving education or work experience
Marriage or divorce certificates (if applicable)
Military service record (for required countries)
All documents must be complete and accurate. Some documents may require certified translations.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION AND VACCINATIONS
To immigrate to the U.S., Green Card winners must meet the health standards set by U.S. authorities.
Applicants are required to undergo a mandatory medical examination at an authorized medical institution designated by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
The examination includes a physical check-up, vaccination review, blood tests, and screenings for certain diseases. Additionally, all required vaccinations must be up to date for U.S. entry.
VISA INTERVIEW AND FINAL STEPS
One of the most critical steps in the Green Card process is the immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
During the interview, applicants may be asked questions about:
Their plans for moving to the U.S.
Financial stability and independence
Education and employment history
Family background
Those who successfully complete the interview will be granted an immigrant visa, allowing them to take the final step toward entering the U.S.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS FOR GREEN CARD WINNERS
Winning the Green Card lottery does not automatically grant U.S. citizenship or permanent residency. Winners must complete the required processes.
Be cautious of fraud. Green Card results can only be checked on the official DV Lottery website. The U.S. government does not notify winners via email or phone.
It is recommended that winners complete their visa applications and interviews as soon as possible. Since the Green Card quota is limited, delayed applications may not be processed.
From May 3, 2025, DV-2026 lottery results will be available for checking. The immigration process for winners will continue by following the required steps.
