The month of May will see hectic activity at the US Department of State’s Kentucky Consular Center, as the DV 2013 lottery results will be available at that time. Please note that you will only be able to check your results via the online entrant status check on the dvlottery state government website. Be sure to keep the confirmation number safe, as it is the only option available to verify the results. Once you are selected into the program, you will receive information about the location, date, and time of your green card interview. You can expect this 4-6 weeks before your interview date.
Green Card Lottery winners will be called in for an interview sometime in October. The interview will continue in ascending order of case number and will continue until the visa limit is reached or the program closing date is reached, whichever comes first. Before you go for the interview, be sure to read all the instructions carefully and thoroughly on the US Consular Office website. You can also contact the US Embassy in your country to make a note of fees and supporting documents to bring to your interview.
When coming to the interview, you must bring:
– A police clearance record from the US consular officer in your country or any US embassy closest to you.
– Registration for medical checkup with the US consular officer in your country or any US embassy closest to you.
– Three non-refundable fees for Visa and Green Card processing
– Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee (Form DS-230)
– Green Card Lottery surcharge for immigrant visa application
– Immigrant visa security surcharge, for all Green Card applicants
As the fee structure changes quite frequently, it is recommended to check the most recent fee structure before going to the interview. All these fees must be paid at the embassy. If you became the father of a newborn baby after submitting all the forms you received from the Kentucky Consular Center and you still have not received the interview letter, please take a photograph of the newborn baby and mail it along with your birth certificate to Kentucky consular. Center. Inform the Embassy of the United States about the newborn. If you have already received the interview letter, you must bring a photo and the baby’s birth certificate with you and present it at the time of the interview.
If you will not be able to attend the interview on the indicated date, you can request to reschedule it. However, it is recommended not to miss your original interview considering that visas are limited to 55,000. If you are in the US and won the lottery, you can apply for adjustment of status by filing Form I-485 with USCIS. Beware of scammers. If you receive any email or postal mail that has been selected for you, don’t believe it.
