US DV Lottery 2010 Status Check Available online

The DOS has provided an online status check for those who applied for DV-2010

To use the online system, you must:

1. the confirmation number received following submission of the DV lottery application.
2. The name and birth date information.

Selection alone does not grant individuals or immediate family members U.S. permanent residence. You must move forward either to adjust their status to permanent residence in the United States, or to complete consular processing for an immigrant visa at the appropriate U.S. consulate abroad within the time-frames required by law. You must meet general requirements for these procedures, as well as requirements for the DV lottery. More people are granted winner letters than ultimately receive permanent residence under the DV program.

The online form is at the dv lottery site at http;//www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/
