The results for the 2025 United States Electronic Diversity Visa (EDV) lottery are set to be released today, Saturday, May 4. Applicants can begin checking their status starting from 9 PM this evening.

Participants need to visit the official website, dvprogram.state.gov/ESC/, and enter the confirmation number they received during the application process to view their results.

It is important for DV-2023 entrants to keep their confirmation numbers secure until at least September 30, 2024, as these numbers are necessary to access their status in the lottery.

The EDV program, popularly known as the Green Card Lottery, is an annual opportunity that allows individuals from eligible countries to apply for permanent residency in the United States. This diversity initiative aims to diversify the immigrant population in the U.S., by selecting applicants from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
