Important Update: DV-2026 Diversity Visa Program – Great Britain & Dependent Areas
The U.S. Department of State is providing an update regarding the DV-2026 Diversity Visa program for entrants from Great Britain (united Kingdom) and its dependent areas. Due to a reporting issue, some selection status results may have been inaccurate.
If you entered the DV-2026 program and listed Great Britain (United Kingdom) or one of its dependent areas as your country of origin, you must re-check your status.
Please visit the Entrant Status Check using your unique confirmation number from your original DV-2026 online entry. This will confirm your current selection status.

* To be considered for an interview, you must submit a complete DS-260 application.
