The U.S. Department of State has disclosed the selected applicants for the 2025 Diversity Visa Lottery, handpicking 55,000 individuals from a pool of millions of entries. Successful candidates can verify their status through the State Department’s DV Entrant Status Check portal. It's important to note that selection does not automatically grant a green card; winners are obligated to complete Form DS-260, participate in a visa interview, and fulfill associated fees. All visas must be granted by September 30, 2025.
