DV results are not sent to you; you check them yourself on the official site with your confirmation number. This guide explains how, and what happens if you are selected.

The short answer

Go to Entrant Status Check on the official site dvprogram.state.gov and enter your confirmation number, surname and year of birth. The US government does not send winner letters or emails.

When are results out?

The US State Department announces when results can be checked on its official site with each program's announcement.

Keep your confirmation number

The confirmation number is the only way to check the result. If you enter with RideFly, we send you the confirmation number on WhatsApp to keep.

If you are selected

Selection does not mean a visa: you complete Form DS-260, gather documents, pay the visa application fee to the US government and attend an interview at the embassy or consulate the State Department assigns.

Beware of fake messages

Any message or call saying you won and asking for money is a scam. The only source of your result is Entrant Status Check.
