The way to find out if you won the United States 2023 visa lottery is by checking your status on the official lottery website: www.dvlottery.state.gov
The official website will not send the lottery winners a letter, or an email, nor will it ask for money to give you the results, nor will it make you download any program or document to find out if you won the lottery. If any of these situations happen to you, it is possible that you are in the presence of scammers.
Anonymous judges will adjudicate each lottery and may reveal the names of the people who participated in the lottery. Participants will be notified whether or not they have won, but will not be informed where their lottery slot is located until after all lottery processing has been completed.
People chosen by the lottery will receive a nickname to identify them in the lottery, their place in the lottery and a green card. In the event that the persons chosen by lottery do not meet the requirements to participate or are pending judicial matters, they will be disqualified prior to the full processing of any lottery.
Once you have been given a nickname and the position you have obtained, you will begin to receive correspondence regarding your rights and obligations as a permanent resident of the United States.
Lotteries are open, although people chosen by lottery must register to participate with a ticket between September and October 2021. If you are chosen, you will have to pay the minimum cost required for the temporary visa (USD $ 260).
